Geographic Overview
The +91 1332 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Roorkee telephony exchange in the state of Uttarakhand, India. Roorkee, situated in the Haridwar district, is a major industrial and educational hub, home to the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Roorkee and numerous engineering and research institutions. The area code covers Roorkee city and its surrounding suburban and rural areas, including towns such as Manglaur, Laksar, and parts of the Haridwar district. As a geographic code, it is tied to a specific telecom service area, and call routing is based on the physical location of the fixed-line connection.
Dialing Formats
For callers within India, dialing a Roorkee landline requires the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and the local subscriber number. For example, a local number 1234567 would be dialed as 0-1332-1234567. However, for callers from outside India, the international access prefix (typically '+' or '00' depending on the country) is used, followed by India's country code 91, the area code without the leading '0', and the subscriber number: +91-1332-1234567. It is important to note that the length of the local subscriber number can vary (typically 7 digits), but the total length of the national significant number (NSN) after the country code is 10 digits, in accordance with the National Numbering Plan.
Caller Instructions
Local callers within Roorkee can often dial the 7-digit subscriber number directly without the area code, depending on the operator's local dialing rules. However, for calls from other cities or mobile phones, the full national format with '0' and the area code is mandatory. Foreign callers must always include the country code and omit the trunk prefix '0'. For example, a caller in the United States would dial 011-91-1332-1234567.
