About std code finder
An STD code is the area code you dial before a landline number when calling from another city in India. It begins with 0 followed by the city code, for example Delhi 011, Mumbai 022 and Surat 0261.
How to dial
- Calling a landline in another city from a mobile or landline: dial 0, the city code without the zero repeated, then the number. With 011 you dial 011 and the eight-digit number.
- Calling a landline in your own city from a landline: you can usually dial the number alone.
- Calling from abroad: dial +91, drop the leading 0 of the STD code and then the number.
Code length
Large cities have short codes (two digits after the 0) and longer numbers, while smaller towns have longer codes and shorter numbers. Together they total a fixed number of digits.
Verify important numbers
Codes can change when telecom regions are reorganised. Confirm the number from the organisation's own website before relying on it.
