What is the country code for India from Canada?

India is +91. Dial the plus sign, then 91, then the ten digit number. With StartACall you enter it in your browser and click call, with no exit code to remember.

Why does Jamaica use +1 876 instead of its own code?

Jamaica is part of the +1 numbering zone shared with Canada and the United States. You reach it with +1 876 and the seven digit number, even though the call is international.

Do I need a different setup for each country?

No. The method is identical everywhere. You type the plus sign, the country code and the number, and StartACall routes the call. Only the rate per minute changes by destination.

What is the difference between a country code and an area code?

A country code identifies the whole country and follows the plus sign, like +91 for India. An area code sits inside the local number and points to a city, like 20 for London inside +44.

Can I save a number and reuse it from any device?

Yes. Save it in plus format, like +63 and the number, and it will connect from a laptop or phone, at home or abroad, because the international form works everywhere.

Is the person I call required to have an app?

No. You call their ordinary landline or mobile. They answer like any normal call, with no account and nothing to install.

A quick reference for the most called destinations

Canada is a country of newcomers, so a handful of country codes turn up constantly. India is +91, the Philippines is +63, China is +86 and Iran is +98. The United Kingdom is +44 and Mexico is +52. Each one goes after the plus sign, followed by the local number with any leading zero removed.

Jamaica is a special case. It sits inside the +1 zone shared with Canada and the United States, so you reach it with +1 876 and the seven digit number, not a separate country code. Costa Rica, by contrast, has its own code, +506, with no leading zero to worry about.

How to dial each one from your browser

The pattern is always the same. Type the plus sign, then the country code, then the number. For an Indian mobile that is +91 and the ten digit number. For a London landline it is +44 20 and the rest, dropping the local zero. For Mexico it is +52 and the number, including the area code.

StartACall connects your browser tab to the worldwide phone network, so there is no app to download and no SIM to insert. It runs in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on a desktop or a phone, and the person you call needs nothing special to answer.

Reading a country code versus an area code

It helps to know the difference between the two kinds of code you will see. A country code, like +91 for India or +63 for the Philippines, identifies the whole country and sits right after the plus sign. An area code sits inside the local number and points to a city or region, such as 20 for London inside +44, or 11 for Delhi inside +91.

Inside the +1 zone there is no separate country code at all. Canada, the United States, Jamaica and much of the Caribbean share +1, and the three digit area code does the work of telling the network which country and region you mean. That is why a call to Toronto and a call to Kingston, Jamaica both start with +1 yet land in different countries.

What it costs to stay in touch

Billing is per minute with no monthly plan, and the credit you add never expires. Calls inside the +1 zone, which covers Canada, the United States and Jamaica, are a flat rate near $0.046 per minute for both mobile and landline.

Other destinations vary. A Portuguese landline is about $0.055 per minute and a Polish mobile about $0.22 per minute. A small $0.004 connection fee applies per call. The first call is free with no card, so you can confirm the quality before you add any credit.

Save a number once, call it again

Because the dialler accepts the full international form, the easiest habit is to store every contact with a plus and the country code at the front. A relative in Manila saved as +63 and the number will then connect from your laptop at home, your phone on the train, or a hotel browser abroad, with no editing.

This matters more than it sounds. Most failed international calls come from a doubled or dropped leading zero, or from forgetting the exit code. Saving in plus format removes both mistakes at once, so the only thing that ever changes between one destination and the next is the per minute rate, never the steps you follow to place the call.
