India phone number format

India uses a closed dialing plan. A common way to think about it: most national numbers are treated as 10 digits (mobile, or landline when you include the STD code).

Type Domestic format (inside India) International format
Mobile XXXXXXXXXX (10 digits) +91 XXXXXXXXXX
Landline (STD + number) 0 (STD) (Subscriber) +91 (STD) (Subscriber)
International dialing out of India 00 + Country code + Number (N/A)
Rule of thumb: When calling from outside India, use +91 and dial the full number (no leading 0).
