How to dial India

The country code is +91. Here’s how to dial a mobile number in India, written locally as 081234 56789:

From the US or Canada011 91 81234 56789
From the UK00 91 81234 56789
From Australia0011 91 81234 56789
From a mobile phone or 002Call+91 81234 56789

Numbers in India are often written with a leading 0. Drop it when you add +91. Numbers are 8 to 13 digits long after the country code.

Best time to call India

India is on UTC+5:30. These windows reach people between 9am and 9pm their time, without calling before 8am or after 10pm yours.

  • From New York: 8am to 12pm

    That’s 5:30pm to 9:30pm in India.

  • From London: 8am to 5pm

    That’s 12:30pm to 9:30pm in India.

  • From Sydney: 3pm to 10pm

    That’s 9:30am to 4:30pm in India.

Daylight saving changes can shift these times by an hour.

Calling India: numbers to know

  • Mobile numbers are 10 digits and start with 6, 7, 8 or 9. Dial +91 followed by the 10 digits. Drop any leading 0 written in front.
  • Landlines include an STD area code, such as 011 for Delhi, 022 for Mumbai or 080 for Bengaluru. Drop the 0, so 022 1234 5678 becomes +91 22 1234 5678.
  • Toll-free 1800 numbers generally can’t be reached from outside India. Indian banks and many government services publish separate NRI or overseas helpline numbers. Use those instead.

India uses one time zone, IST (UTC+5:30), and doesn’t change its clocks. That makes calls from the US and UK awkward: India is 9.5 to 10.5 hours ahead of New York, so evening in India is morning in the US.

Cheapest ways to call India

  • WhatsApp is free if the other person has data, and most people in India use it. It won’t work for banks, offices, or relatives without a smartphone.
  • Google Voice lists India at $0.02 per minute (published rate, checked October 2026). It’s the cheapest option if you have a US Google Voice account, but new personal accounts are only available in the US.
  • 002Call costs $0.05 per minute to Indian landlines and $0.05 per minute to mobiles. It works from any country in a browser, with no US number or app needed.
