India numbering plan & how to dial
Under country code +91, India numbers follow an open plan built from a 2-digit area or mobile prefix and a 8-digit subscriber line — 10 digits in all. A domestic "0" typically precedes the prefix, but that digit is dropped when dialing India internationally.
4 major networks cover India (Jio, Airtel, Vi, BSNL), against 52% internet penetration. VoIP is permitted and regulated by TRAI. Because Hindi, English is the primary language and INR the local currency, both should inform IVR scripts, SMS content, and support hours.
Asian markets range from fully liberalised to licensed-only VoIP, so compliant routing and correct local caller ID have an outsized effect on answer rates.
Skipping the exit code
India calls from the US need 011 first, then +91 — the exit code isn't optional.
Keeping the national trunk "0"
India numbers often show a domestic leading 0 — drop it once you've dialed the +91 country code from outside the country.
Ignoring the time difference
India runs on UTC+5:30. Check local hours before dialing so calls don't land outside business time.

FAQ
Calling India — frequently asked questions
Yes. VoIP is permitted in India, regulated by TRAI, so businesses can run cloud numbers and SIP termination on compliant routes. There's no special licensing hurdle for a Twiching customer to clear before calling or texting into India.
New Delhi is the capital of India. A local +91 number is recognisable to callers there and nationwide, which is part of why presenting local caller ID tends to improve answer rates across the whole country, not just the capital.
India's local currency is INR, which is worth factoring into any pricing or invoicing shown to customers there. Twiching's own per-minute rates to and from India are quoted in USD regardless of the local currency.
Yes, where locally supported — a single Twiching India number can handle both voice calls and SMS. That avoids the overhead of provisioning and managing two separate numbers for one customer-facing line.
Yes — India numbers include a 2-digit area or mobile prefix before the subscriber number. That prefix is what routes the call to the right regional or mobile network once it arrives in the country.
No license restriction beyond standard regulation — TRAI permits VoIP in India for compliant operators. That keeps setup straightforward for a Twiching customer looking to call or text into the country.
