Bihar - Telephone Area Code

Whenever you travel to a new and unknown destination, it is very important that you have all the information regarding the region you are traveling to. You should carry the following information as a perquisite so that you can explore the region in a safe manner:

• Map of the city/ state you are traveling to
• A catalog of the STD (Subscriber Trunk Dialing)
• ISD (International Subscriber Dialing) codes of the place

Usually, the STD code precedes the landline number of the person you are calling. This applies only when the caller and the receiver are located in two different cities.

Similarly, if you are calling on any fixed land line number of any city in Bihar from a foreign country, you would need to prefix the ISD code of India followed by the STD code of the city you are dialing to. For example, if you are dialing on a number in Patna from abroad, you will need to input the phone number in the following manner:

091-0612-xxxxxxx

Listed below are the STD and ISD codes of various places in Bihar in alphabetical order:
