Mobile Number Rules

India uses a 10-digit mobile numbering plan and variable-length landline area codes. Here is what to remember.

10-digit Mobile Numbers

Mobile numbers in India are 10 digits long. They typically start with 9, 8, 7, or 6. When calling from abroad, dial +91 then the 10-digit number.

+91 98123 45678

Omit the Trunk Prefix

Indian landline area codes are prefixed with 0 for domestic calls. For international calls, remove this 0. For example, dial +91 80 for Bengaluru, not +91 080.

0 80Just dial +91 80

Calling India from United Arab Emirates: what to know

India answers on the country code +91, with the capital in New Delhi and most business concentrated around Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore. The working language for business is Hindi, English, 21 other scheduled languages, and local offices generally keep hours of 9:30 to 18:30 IST. Bangalore tech firms often have West-Coast US shifts running 18:00 to 04:00 IST.

From United Arab Emirates the outbound access code is 00, so a manual dial reads 00 then +91 then the local number. StartACall removes that step: the call goes through your browser, so there is nothing to install and no SIM card to swap when you travel between United Arab Emirates and India.

Most mobiles in India sit on operators such as Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea (Vi). Indian mobile numbers are 10 digits starting with 6, 7, 8, or 9. Operators have been free to port across these prefix ranges since MNP, so prefix no longer reliably identifies the carrier.

India runs on UTC plus 5:30, and it does not observe daylight saving, so the time difference stays constant through the year.
