Frequently Asked Questions

Which ISD code do I dial for India?

India's ISD (International Subscriber Dialing) code is 91, and you enter it right after the international exit code.

How do I reach an Indian mobile from the US?

Enter +91 and then the 10 digit mobile number. Calling from abroad, you normally skip the leading '0' in front of the mobile number.

The leading networks are Jio, Airtel, Vi (Vodafone Idea), and BSNL, and Intercalling reaches every one of them.

Does calling India over VoIP save money?

Calling India from United States: 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 States the outbound access code is 011, so a manual dial reads 011 then +91 then the local number. Intercalling 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 States 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.
