Calling out of India. From a landline there, start with 00, then the other country's code and number. From a mobile, + works everywhere.
Time in India. India is on GMT+5:30 all year. Check the time before you call, especially for business numbers.
The city code and the local number always add up to 10 digits, so a short city code means a longer local number.
Inside India, a landline must add 0 before a mobile number. This does not apply when you call from abroad.
Toll free numbers start with 1800 and usually cannot be reached from outside India.
India uses one time zone, 5 hours 30 minutes ahead of UTC.
