How to dial India from the UAE
Through a phone provider: 00 91 + destination number. On a mobile phone, +91 can replace 00 91.
Mobile numbers: After +91, use the 10-digit mobile number. Do not add an area code or a domestic opening 0.
Landlines: After +91, use the area code without its domestic opening 0, then the subscriber number. The area code and subscriber number together have 10 digits.
Domestic prefix: Remove 0 only when it is the domestic dialing prefix before the mobile number or landline area code. Keep zeros inside the number. If the number already starts with +91, do not add 91 again.
In Talkala, India (+91) is preselected in the number field on this page. Enter the national number in the format above beside that country code, or paste the complete +91 number. Do not enter the country code twice.
Key detail
Calling a Kerala landline from the UAE
Kerala has several area codes. 0484 serves Kochi / Ernakulam, not all of Kerala. For that area, use 484 after India's country code, followed by the seven-digit subscriber number. For another town, use that town's own area code without its domestic 0.
