Questions people ask
Which country has the code +91?
+91 is the dialling code for India.
Is +91 the same as 0091 or 011 91?
Yes. The plus sign stands for whatever exit code your phone network uses: 00 in the UK and most of the world, 011 in the US and Canada. A mobile phone converts + automatically, so saving numbers as +91 makes them work from any country.
How do I write a phone number from India in international format?
Start with +91, then the number without its leading 0. For example 081234 56789 becomes +91 81234 56789, or +918123456789 with no spaces (E.164 format, the form apps and forms usually want).
What is the exit code in India?
To call abroad from a landline in India, dial 00, then the country code and number. On a mobile, + works everywhere.
I got a missed call from +91. Should I call back?
Only if you know someone there. Unexpected one-ring calls from abroad are a known scam ("wangiri"): calling back can connect you to a premium-rate line. Search the number first, or paste it into the callmins country-code lookup to see where it's from and whether it's a mobile or landline.
