DIALING RULES
India Dialing Rules
India uses a standardized 10-digit phone numbering system. Whether calling a mobile or landline, follow the same format: country code plus the complete 10-digit number.
Enter the complete 10-digit number
After +91, enter all 10 digits of the recipient's phone number. India does not use area code prefixes in the 10-digit number itself (the area code is part of the 10 digits for landlines).
No need to dial a leading zero
Domestic Indian calls begin with 0, but international calls to India never use a leading 0. The +91 country code replaces the zero.
Mobile and landline format is the same
Both mobile and landline numbers in India use the same 10-digit format. You dial the same way regardless of the number type.

Calling tips
- Keep calls brief if you're unsure of the recipient's availability; 45 minutes ahead means morning calls from Nepal can be quite early in India.
- Check the recipient's typical work or daily schedule before calling; Indian business hours (9 AM–6 PM IST) may differ from your own.
- Use Sayfone's transparent per-minute rate to control call length; clear pricing helps you budget for longer conversations.
Business etiquette
- India's business culture values prompt, respectful communication; introduce yourself clearly and confirm you have reached the right person.
- Personal and business calls may blend more in India; adjust your tone based on the relationship and context.
- Mobile calls are common in India; landlines are less common. Prepare for potential background noise on mobile calls.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubleshooting & Restrictions
Most calls from Nepal to India connect reliably. If you encounter issues, check your number format and connection stability before retrying.
Call does not connect
Verify the complete number format: +91 followed by the full 10-digit number. Check that you have a stable internet connection. Retry after a few seconds.
Poor call quality
Network conditions affect call quality. Move closer to your WiFi router, reduce background noise, and ensure your browser supports the calling service. Quality also depends on both parties' internet stability.
Special numbers may not work
Some special numbers (e.g. emergency services, premium-rate lines, government hotlines) may not be reachable via international calling. Attempt standard mobile and landline numbers first.
Recipient cannot hear you
Ensure your microphone is enabled and not muted in your browser. Test your audio settings before placing the call. Ask the recipient to confirm they can hear you.
