Number details

What to check before using the 91 country code

Country codes are only one part of an international phone number. Exit codes, area codes, mobile prefixes, and local numbering rules can change how the final number should be dialed.

Exit code or plus format

On a mobile phone, the plus sign usually replaces exit codes such as 00 or 011. From a landline, use the international access code for the country you are calling from, then 91.

Country calling code, dial code, or prefix

People may call 91 the India country code, country calling code, phone code, dial code, or international prefix. In each case, use +91 before the rest of the India number.

Mobile phone or landline

After +91, the next digits may be an area code, mobile prefix, service prefix, or local number. Check whether you are calling a mobile phone or landline because rates can differ.

India country code +91

India country code, India phone code, India telephone code, India calling code, India dialing code, India code number, 91 country code, 91 phone code, 0091 country code, and telephone code 0091 searches usually refer to +91.

India mobile number format

Indian mobile numbers are usually ten digits and are commonly written internationally as +91 followed by the ten-digit mobile number, for example +91 98765 43210.

India STD and city codes

Domestic 0 versus international format

Inside India, some calls use the domestic 0 trunk prefix before the STD code or non-local number. In international plus format, drop that 0 and start with +91.

Calling from and to India

To call India from the US, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE, or Dubai, dial +91 followed by the India mobile number or landline STD code and subscriber number. To call another country from India, use the destination country code in plus format, such as +1 for the US or +971 for UAE.
