How to call Cape Verde from India

  1. Dial 00, the exit code of India. On a mobile phone you can press and hold 0 to type + instead.
  2. Dial 238, the country code of Cape Verde.
  3. Dial the rest of the number. Numbers in Cape Verde have no trunk prefix, so dial every digit of the number as it is written.

So a mobile number shaped like +238 9XX XX XX is dialled from an Indian landline as 00 238 9XX XX XX, and from any mobile phone as +238 9XX XX XX. The X marks stand for the digits of the real number.

How to call Cape Verde from other countries

The steps are the same everywhere: your own country's exit code, then 238, then the number. The exit code is 011 from the United States and Canada, 00 from most of Europe, Africa and Asia, and 0011 from Australia. A mobile phone accepts + in place of any exit code, which is why numbers are best saved as +238 followed by the number.

How to call India from Cape Verde

Dial 0 (the exit code of Cape Verde), then 91 for India, then the number. An Indian mobile number has 10 digits. For an Indian landline, dial the STD code without its leading 0, then the number: for example 0 91 11 and the eight-digit number for Delhi. Find an Indian STD code.

Saving a number from Cape Verde for WhatsApp
