Calling India: 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.

Outbound calls on StartACall need no phone number and no app. You place them from the browser, and you only add a US or Canada number when you also want to receive inbound calls.

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.
