Landline area codes are "STD codes" ranging from 2 digits (Mumbai 22, Delhi 11) to 4 digits for smaller towns.

Tips for Calling India
India uses a single time zone (IST, UTC+5:30). Mobile numbers are 10 digits and start with 6, 7, 8, or 9. Landline numbers vary in length depending on the city. When dialing from abroad, drop the leading 0 from the STD code. Peak calling hours for reaching family are typically evenings IST (mornings in the US).
India Mobile Networks — Same Rate on All
Kinvo connects calls to every major mobile carrier in India at the flat rate of $0.16/min. There are no premium-network surcharges or carrier-specific routing fees.
Connection Fee Explained
Kinvo charges a flat $0.05 connection fee per call to India. This fee is charged only when the call is answered by the recipient. You are never charged for:
- -Calls that are not answered (no pickup)
- -Calls that reach a busy signal
- -Calls that fail to connect due to network issues
- -Calls you cancel before the recipient answers
For example, a 10-minute call to a India landline costs: $0.05 + (10 x $0.20) = $2.05. A 10-minute call to a India mobile costs: $0.05 + (10 x $0.16) = $1.65.
Why Use Kinvo to Call India?
Traditional phone carriers charge between $1 and $3 per minute for international calls to India. Even calling plans that include "international minutes" typically cost $10 to $15 per month as an add-on and often exclude mobile numbers in India, which are charged at a premium rate. Kinvo eliminates all of this with straightforward per-minute pricing starting from $0.16 per minute and a flat $0.05 connection fee.
Unlike traditional VoIP apps like the discontinued Skype or Viber Out, Kinvo does not require downloading or installing any software. The entire experience runs in your web browser using WebRTC, the same technology that powers Google Meet and Zoom. This means you can call India from any computer, laptop, tablet, or phone with a browser and a microphone — at home, in the office, or on the go.
Kinvo credits are pay-as-you-go and never expire. There is no monthly subscription, no minimum spend, and no contract. If you buy $5 in credits today and do not call India for six months, your full balance will still be waiting. This is especially useful for people who call India occasionally rather than daily — you never lose money to expiring credit balances like you would with Skype or calling cards.
