Best Time to Call India

Recommended Calling Hours

• Telemarketing and promotional calls are typically restricted to daytime and early evening; avoid 21:00 to 09:00 India time
• For business contacts, standard calling window is roughly 10:00 to 18:00 on working days, avoiding major public holidays

Calling Etiquette in India

• Begin with a polite greeting such as Hello or Namaste and confirm you are speaking to the correct person
• Introduce yourself, your organization, and the purpose of the call early in the conversation
• For business calls, scheduling in advance by email or message is appreciated, especially with senior contacts
• English and Hindi are widely used in business; be ready to switch to simpler English and speak clearly at a moderate pace

Reaching India via Apps

• WhatsApp is widely used across India for personal and business communication, including voice and video calls
• Other apps like Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom are common for professional calls, especially in urban areas
• Some corporate networks may restrict certain calling apps; mobile data or personal Wi Fi often works more reliably

International Calling Requirements in Nepal

• Ensure your SIM is activated for international calling; many Nepalese prepaid SIMs block IDD by default.
• Contact your mobile operator or visit a store to enable IDD and verify KYC registration with a valid ID.
• Dial 00 or use +, then the destination country code, area or mobile code, and subscriber number.
• Check that any credit limit or prepaid balance is sufficient; international calls deplete balance quickly.
• If using office PBX, confirm international access codes and any restrictions with your administrator.

Troubleshooting Calls to India

Call cannot be completed as dialed or invalid number - Remove any leading 0 from the foreign number, dial 00 or +, then the correct country and area or mobile code.
International calling not allowed or restricted - Contact your operator to enable IDD, ensure KYC is complete, and confirm no spending or parental controls are active.
Insufficient balance or credit limit exceeded - Top up your prepaid balance or increase your postpaid limit, or use a VOIP app over Wi Fi instead.
