Caller Instructions

• Local callers (within Newai): If you are calling from within the same STD code area, you may be able to dial just the 5-digit subscriber number, depending on your telephone exchange configuration. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to dial the full 10-digit number including the STD code.
• National callers (from other parts of India): Dial 01438 followed by the 5-digit subscriber number. For example, to call a Newai number 23456, dial 01438-23456.
• International callers: Dial your country's exit code (e.g., 00 or 011), then 91 (India's country code), then 1438, and finally the 5-digit subscriber number. For example, from the US/Canada, dial 011 91 1438 23456.
