Understanding STD Codes in Jammu and Kashmir
Jammu and Kashmir, with its summer capital Srinagar and winter capital Jammu, encompasses several key districts including Baramulla, Anantnag, and Leh (now a separate Union Territory, but historically associated). 1 Understanding the Subscriber Trunk Dialing (STD) codes for this region is essential for making landline phone calls both within India and from abroad.
Calling from within India
To dial a landline number in Jammu and Kashmir from any other district within India, you need to follow a specific format:
- Step 1: Dial the prefix '0'. This indicates that you are making a long-distance call within India.
- Step 2: Enter the specific STD code for the district you are trying to reach in Jammu and Kashmir.
- Step 1: Dial the local landline number of the person or business you wish to contact.
Format: 0 + STD Code + Local Number
Calling from Outside India
To call a landline number in Jammu and Kashmir from an international location, the dialing procedure is slightly different:
- Step 1: Dial your country's international access code (typically '+' or '00').
- Step 2: Enter India's country code, which is '91'.
- Step 3: Dial the STD code for the specific district in Jammu and Kashmir you are calling, without the initial '0' that is used for domestic calls.
- Step 4: Enter the local landline number.
Format: + 91 + STD Code + Local Number
