Dial CodesHow to call the Central African Republic from India
- Dial 00, the exit code of India. On a mobile phone you can press and hold 0 to type + instead.
- Dial 236, the country code of the Central African Republic.
- Dial the rest of the number. Numbers in the Central African Republic have no trunk prefix, so dial every digit of the number as it is written.
So a mobile number shaped like +236 7X XX XX XX is dialled from an Indian landline as 00 236 7X XX XX XX, and from any mobile phone as +236 7X XX XX XX. The X marks stand for the digits of the real number.
How to call the Central African Republic from other countries
The steps are the same everywhere: your own country's exit code, then 236, 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 +236 followed by the number.
How to call India from the Central African Republic
Dial 00 (the exit code of the Central African Republic), 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 00 91 11 and the eight-digit number for Delhi. Find an Indian STD code.
