Tips for clear & uninterrupted calls

Whether you're reaching India for business or family, three habits keep every conversation crystal clear and a clean route from TKOS handles the rest.

  • 01

    HD audio for India calls

    New Delhi (India) routes benefit from active noise cancellation — local background noise at the New Delhi end is less disruptive when your mic is already clean.

  • 02

    Connection quality to India

    New Delhi is ~7,100 km away — expect ~280ms round-trip. A wired ethernet connection keeps packet loss below 0.1%.

  • 03

    Best time to call New Delhi

    Schedule India calls during New Delhi business hours — 09:00–17:00 Asia/Kolkata — your contact will be at their desk in a quiet space rather than taking the call on the move.

FAQ

Questions about calling India, answered.

Everything a business or traveller needs to know before dialling India (+91). Can't find an answer? Our team is one click away.

Q1.What is the country code for India?
India's international calling code is +91. Dial it immediately after your exit prefix and before the local subscriber number whenever calling from outside India.
Q2.What is the best time to call India?
Tuesday–Wednesday, 10:00–11:30 AM IST (UTC+5:30) is the sweet spot. India runs on a single fixed timezone nationwide — no regional offsets, no daylight saving, and a rare 30-minute UTC offset. Avoid Diwali (October or November, lunar dates shift annually) and the August Independence Day cluster.
Q3.How do I call a mobile number in India?
Indian mobiles are 10 digits starting with 6, 7, 8, or 9. There is no leading zero to drop — dial +91 then the full 10-digit mobile number. A typical Indian mobile: +91 98765 43210.
Q4.What is the cheapest way to call India?
VoIP is the cheapest route — app-to-app calls over Wi-Fi to India are often free. For calls to regular +91 numbers, business VoIP from TKOS offers per-minute rates far below traditional carrier landline charges.
Q5.How do I dial India from Australia?
From Australia dial 0011 91, then the India subscriber number. Australian mobiles also accept + 91 — press and hold 0 to enter the + symbol.
