How to Dial India
Saving the number in contacts
Start with +91, then use the reviewed national significant number. Remove a domestic trunk 0 before a fixed-line area code. Do not add a 0 before a ten-digit mobile number in international format.
Calling from abroad
On a mobile, use the + form. If a network requires digits instead, replace + with that origin network's international prefix. India's own standard exit prefix for outbound calls is 00.
Calling a India mobile
Add +91 before the ten-digit mobile number; do not add a trunk 0.

Exceptions and Routing Notes
Common India Formatting Mistakes
- Adding +91 before a mobile number that already begins with 91.
- Keeping the trunk 0 from a fixed-line area code.
- Assuming a mobile prefix proves the current carrier.
Number Portability and Carrier Data
Mobile number portability means a prefix may not identify the current carrier. Treat carrier data as a timestamped lookup result, not a permanent property of the number.
