How to dial an STD code for international calls?

To dial an STD code internationally, you must first include your country’s exit code, the destination country’s code, and then the city’s STD code (without the trunk prefix).

Here’s the step-by-step process:

1. Dial the Exit Code:

This lets you make an international call.

For India: 00

For the USA and Canada: 011

2. Dial the Country Code:

Example:

India: 91

USA: 1

UK: 44

3. Dial the City’s STD Code (without 0): 

Example: Delhi’s STD code is 011 in India; for international calls, drop the “0” and dial 11.

4. Dial the Local Number.

Example: To call Delhi from the USA:

011 (exit code) + 91 (India’s country code) + 11 (Delhi’s code) + phone number.

This makes sure your call connects correctly to the specific country and city you’re trying to reach.
