Dialing Format

To call a landline number in Manchar from within India, subscribers must dial the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and the local subscriber number. The complete national dialing format is: 0-2133-XXXXXX (where XXXXXX is the 6-digit local number). For international callers, the format is +91-2133-XXXXXX (or 0091-2133-XXXXXX from many countries). For example, a local number might be 2133-452310, and an international caller would dial +91 2133 452310.

Caller Instructions

• Local callers within Manchar: If you are calling from another landline within the same STD code area, you may be able to dial only the 6-digit subscriber number without the area code, depending on the local exchange setup. However, for clarity and to avoid misdialing, it is recommended to use the full national format.
• Callers from other parts of India: Dial 0 followed by the area code and subscriber number (e.g., 0-2133-XXXXXX). This applies to calls from mobile phones as well, although some mobile operators may allow direct dialing without the '0' prefix; it is safer to use the standard trunk prefix.
• International callers: Dial your country's international access code (e.g., 00 from most European countries, 011 from the US/Canada), then India's country code 91, then the area code without the leading '0', and then the subscriber number. For example, from the US, you would dial 011 91 2133 XXXXXX.
