Overview

Calling numbers from international cities can be a bit of a daunting task at first. But truth be told, once you know the correct format, you can easily make any call from any international city or country from India. It is thus essential to know the correct format for dialling numbers outside of India because if not, you won't be able to connect to any international city. Generally, for dialling numbers outside of the Indian territory, you would need three codes. These are the following: your country's exit code, country code of the number you're dialling and last, area code of the specific city you're dialling. Once you have these codes, you're ready to place an international call.

The Format

The Format: Exit Code of India + Country Code of UAE + Area Code of Dubai + Phone Number

The table above depicts the correct format for dialling a Dubai number from India. As you can see, and as mentioned above, you need three codes specifically plus the phone number. Below, we would discuss what these country codes are for and just what are the numbers for each code that you specifically need.

What Do They Mean?

Code Name	Description	Code
Exit Code (India)	Dial Out Code	00
Country Code (UAE)	Dial In Code	971
Area Code (Dubai)	Specific City Code	4

The table above depicts the different codes along with their uses. Also included in the table are the specific number for the different codes. Usually, this is the format you need to follow when placing calls internationally.

• Exit Code (00) - The first code is called the Exit Code, this is usually the first code whenever you place a call outside of your country. All countries have exit codes and for India, the exit code is 00. This number lets you dial a number outside of your home country.

• Country Code (971) - This is the second code known as the Country Code and again, every country has this code. For the United Arab Emirates, the country code is 971. You need this number to dial into a country of your choice.

• Area Code (4) - Last but not the least is the Area Code, which in this specific case is 4, for Dubai. The specific area codes differ depending on which city you are dialling. You can always check online for this code as well as the other codes you need.

How to Call Dubai from India

Now that we have highlighted the different parts of the necessary format for dialling a Dubai number from India, we can go to the main part, that is, how to call Dubai from India. It's very simple, you just input all the codes above plus the phone number given to you. So for instance:
