Instructions:
Landline numbers are at most 8 digits long (usually in major metros). The total length of all phone numbers (STD code and the phone number) in India is constant at 10 digits, for example 5623200000 signifies a STD code i.e. 562 Agra & the phone number 3200000. Due to the availability of multiple operators offering fixed line services (either over wire or wireless), there
is an operator-code for each telephone number, which is the first digit in the phone number. These are:
2 – BSNL and MTNL
3 – Reliance Communications
4 – Bharti Airtel
6 – Tata Indicom
Thus, a number formatted as 020-30303030 means a fixed-line Reliance number in Pune, while 011-20000198 is an MTNL fixed line in Delhi and 033-45229320 is an Airtel number in Kolkata, and
01572-212334 is an BSNL number from Sikar.
No prefix is required to call from one landline to another in the same STD area. A prefix of “0+STD code” is required to dial from a landline phone in one STD code area to another.
A prefix of “0+STD code” is required to dial from a mobile phone in India to any landline number, irrespective of STD area.
For example, to call a landline number in Delhi, one would have to dial
* from a land line in Delhi : only the required phone number
* from a land line in Mumbai : 011 and then the required phone number
* from a mobile phone anywhere in India : 011 and then the required phone number
There are some exceptions to this general rule for STD areas falling close to each other (within a radius of 200 kilometre), where “0″ can be replaced with “95″ e.g. to dial Delhi from Gurgaon, one dials 9511+landline number.
