India Country Calling Code – How to Dial India from Any Country
Calling someone in India from another country requires using the correct international dialing format.

India has a specific country calling code that must be included to ensure your call connects successfully.

This guide explains India’s country calling code and shows you how to dial India correctly from anywhere in the world.

Whether you are calling family, friends, or a business in India, using the proper dialing steps will help you avoid common connection problems.

What Is India’s Country Calling Code?

India’s country calling code is +91.¹

The +91 code is used for all phone numbers in India, including both mobile numbers and landline numbers. Whenever you dial an Indian phone number from outside India, you must include this country code before the actual phone number.²

The plus symbol (+) represents the international exit code. Depending on the country you are calling from, this may be replaced with a specific exit number such as 00 or 011.³

Key Points About India’s Country Code

  • Country code: +91¹

  • Applies to: All Indian mobile and landline numbers²

  • Required for: International calls to India

Without adding +91, your call will not reach India when dialing from another country.²

How to Dial India from Another Country

To call India internationally, you need to follow a standard dialing format. The format is the same worldwide, with only the exit code changing depending on your country.

International Dialing Format for India

  1. Exit code (varies by country, or use +)³

  2. India’s country code: 91¹

  3. Mobile number or area code + landline number²

Common Mistakes When Dialing India

Many international calls fail because of small dialing errors. Avoid these common mistakes when calling India.

1. Missing the Country Code
One of the most common errors is dialing the number without +91. If you omit India’s country code, the call will not connect from outside India.²

2. Removing the Leading Zero Incorrectly
Indian landline numbers often start with a 0 when dialed domestically. When calling from another country, you must remove this leading zero after adding +91.⁴

  • Incorrect example: +91 0XX XXXXXXX

  • Correct example: +91 XX XXXXXXX

Always check whether the number is a mobile or landline to dial it correctly.²

FAQ

Yes, +91 is the country calling code for all of India. Every state, city, and mobile network in India uses the +91 country code for international calls.¹

Is +91 a mobile or landline code?
The +91 code applies to both mobile and landline numbers in India. Mobile numbers usually start with specific digits, while landlines use city area codes, but both require +91 when called internationally.²

Final Tips for Calling India Internationally

Before placing your call, always double-check the full number, including the correct country code and area code. If you are saving an Indian contact in your phone, it is best to store the number in international format using +91. This ensures the number will work whether you are calling locally within India or from abroad.

If you experience connection issues, verify that international calling is enabled on your phone plan and confirm the number is active. Using the correct dialing format and checking these small details will help ensure your call to India connects smoothly every time.

Does Justice Have A Limit?

AUDIO TRANSMISSION ACTIVE — VOLUME ENABLED AUTHORIZE   In today's day and age, truth is a commodity. Facts are nearly forbidden, and information agents work in the dark to confiscate narratives and testimonies. On the other hand, hardworking individuals across the net attempt to band together to decipher the truth and bring justice to action. However, these individuals often feel exposed, vulnerable, and lacking the proper support structures to succeed in their tasks. When you consider that these individuals are taking on challenges that concern organizations and companies backed by investors and significant resources, one might assume an equally powerful force is willing to challenge and prosecute these organizations for criminal actions. However, as demonstrated time and again, there are few punishments for people in powerful positions that choose evil over good, and seditious behavior among populations can be fueled by this perceived corruption.

How We Got Our Start

Image
We began on Blogger.com with a simple but ambitious idea: to create a space where curiosity, technical rigor, and practical experience could meet in one open forum. As a team of professional enthusiasts—engineers, makers, analysts, and lifelong learners—we had spent years building our expertise in our respective disciplines. Yet we felt there was something missing in the broader technical conversation. Information was often fragmented, overly simplified, or locked behind institutional walls. We believed knowledge should be shared, examined, refined, and expanded collaboratively. Blogger became the platform where that belief took shape. Our origin was not a corporate launch or a formal startup initiative. It was a conversation. We found ourselves repeatedly discussing the same frustration: engineers and scientists often operate in silos. Mechanical specialists rarely cross paths with software developers. Materials scientists might never collaborate with electronics designers. Researcher...

Merit or Nationality? The Quiet Selection Bias Inside the IPL

Image
The Indian Premier League brands itself as the most competitive T20 league in the world. A global talent pool. Ruthless selection. Performance above reputation. And yet, season after season, a familiar pattern quietly repeats itself: Indian players are backed through prolonged poor form, while overseas players are often judged on a far shorter leash. Is this smart squad-building—or an unconscious bias shaped by optics, marketing, and pressure? The “Long Rope” Phenomenon Every IPL season throws up examples of Indian players who struggle for weeks yet remain part of the XI, justified by terms like potential , role clarity , and team culture . By contrast, overseas players—often with stronger T20 resumes—are benched after one or two failures. A Pattern, Not an Anecdote Across multiple recent IPL seasons, a trend emerges when you compare: Matches played per season Performance metrics (average, strike rate, economy) Bench time after poor games Observation:  Indian players with...
