You must use the international dialing code for Call India and the area code and local number to call India from the USA and Canada. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Dial the exit code for the USA & Canada
The exit code is the same for both the USA and Canada:
- 011
2. Dial India’s country code
India’s country code is:
- 91
3. Dial the Indian area code
Each city in India has a specific area code. Mobile phone numbers in India typically don’t require an area code but instead begin directly after the country code.
4. Dial the local number
Most landline numbers in India are 6 to 8 digits long, while mobile numbers are 10 digits.
Putting It All Together
The complete format should be:
- 011 + 91 + Area Code (or mobile prefix) + Local Number
Notes:
- AmanTel international calling plans offer special rates for calls to India, so it might be worth checking with your provider.
- If you’re using a mobile phone, some apps allow you to make international calls over Wi-Fi, which may reduce costs.
