VoIP calls from an Indian phone number to another Indian phone number are blocked by law in India.
This is a legal and regulatory restriction, not a technical issue, and not specific to Talk360.
What This Means for You
❌ Indian number → Indian number: Not supported
✅ Indian number → International number: Supported
✅ International number → Indian number: Supported
These rules apply nationwide and affect all VoIP providers, not just Talk360.
Why India Blocks Local-to-Local VoIP Calls
India’s telecom regulator, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), strictly controls how internet-based calls interact with the local phone network.
Indian regulations require:
Internet-based calls (VoIP) and traditional mobile calls to remain separate
Calls that start and end inside India to be routed through licensed Indian telecom networks
These rules are designed to prevent:
Toll bypass (avoiding standard local telecom charges)
Fraud and misuse of international routing
Because Talk360 connects calls using VoIP infrastructure and is not a licensed Indian telecom operator, calls between two Indian numbers are automatically blocked by carriers.
What You Might Experience
When calling an Indian number from another Indian number using Talk360, you may notice:
The call fails immediately
The call does not ring
The call disconnects quickly
Inconsistent behavior between attempts
This is expected under Indian telecom law.
It does not mean:
Your account is blocked
Your credits are missing
The app is malfunctioning
Can Talk360 Ask the Government to Allow This?
We understand this question comes up often.
Unfortunately:
There is no exception or approval process
Individual apps cannot request special permission
These rules apply equally to all VoIP providers
If a VoIP provider does not comply with TRAI regulations, it may face:
Heavy fines
Service shutdown
Loss of the right to operate in India
This is why Talk360 must strictly follow these laws.
What You Can Do Instead
Use Talk360 to make international calls from India
If you are abroad:
Register with a local phone number from your current country
Your Talk360 balance can be transferred (self-service or via Support)
⚠️ Attempting to bypass these restrictions is illegal and not supported.
Important to Know
Trying to bypass these rules may lead to account restrictions
VPNs or call-routing tricks will not work
These limitations are set by law, not by Talk360
Key Takeaway
Local-to-local VoIP calls in India are blocked by law
This is a regulatory restriction, not a technical problem
These rules apply to all VoIP services
International calling from India is supported
If a call between Indian numbers fails, this is expected behavior, not a bug.
