Why Choose UseCaller for Calling India
India is one of the world's most connected nations, with over 1.4 billion people spanning diverse cultures, languages, and time zones. Whether you're calling family in Mumbai, coordinating with a tech team in Bangalore, or reaching out to suppliers in Delhi, staying connected to India is essential for millions globally. UseCaller makes calling India affordable and crystal-clear. With rates starting as low as $0.01 per minute for landlines and $0.015 per minute for mobiles, you can talk longer without worrying about expensive international charges. Our service works directly from your browser—no apps, no complicated setup, just instant calls to any Indian number. India operates on Indian Standard Time (IST, UTC+5:30), which is unique globally as one of the few half-hour offset time zones. The country uses a 10-digit mobile numbering system and various area codes for different cities and regions. Understanding these formats ensures your calls connect smoothly every time.
💡 Cultural Tips for Calling India
Indians value relationship-building, so expect initial small talk before business discussions. Speaking slightly slower helps, as English proficiency varies. Festival seasons (Diwali in Oct/Nov, Holi in March) mean reduced business activity. Indian Standard Time operates year-round—no daylight saving. When calling mobile numbers, be patient as network quality varies by region. Many Indians use WhatsApp heavily, but voice calls remain preferred for important matters. Respect religious diversity; avoid calling during prayer times if known. Indians often say "yes" to be polite, so confirm understanding clearly.
Complete Guide to Calling India
Everything you need to know to make successful calls
Number Formatting
Indian phone numbers have 10 digits for mobiles and landlines. Mobile numbers start with 6, 7, 8, or 9. To call India from abroad, dial +91 (country code) followed by the 10-digit number. Example: +91 98765 43210 for mobiles or +91 11 2345 6789 for Delhi landlines.
Mobile vs Landline
Mobile numbers are most common in India, starting with 6-9. Landlines require area codes: Delhi (11), Mumbai (22), Bangalore (80), Chennai (44), Kolkata (33). Mobile calls cost slightly more but connect faster. Most businesses now use mobiles primarily.
Best Times to Call
India is UTC+5:30. Best calling times: 9 AM - 9 PM IST on weekdays. Avoid 1-3 PM (lunch) and after 10 PM. For US East Coast, call 10:30 PM - 8:30 AM EST. For UK, call 3:30 AM - 3:30 PM GMT. Weekends work well for personal calls.
Area Codes
Major area codes: Delhi (11), Mumbai (22), Bangalore (80), Hyderabad (40), Chennai (44), Kolkata (33), Pune (20), Ahmedabad (79), Jaipur (141), Lucknow (522). Always include area code for landlines.
Calling Etiquette
Indians appreciate formal greetings initially. Use titles (Mr., Mrs., Dr.) unless invited to use first names. 'Namaste' is a respectful greeting. Expect longer conversations—relationship building matters. Business calls should avoid Sundays and religious holidays like Diwali, Holi, and Eid.
