Formula
From Australia: 0011 (or +) → 65 → 8-digit Singapore NSN (no trunk 0 to drop).
| Type | Domestic in Singapore | Save as (portable) | Dial from Australia |
|---|---|---|---|
| Landline-style | 6XXX XXXX | +65 6XXX XXXX | 0011 65 6XXX XXXX |
| Mobile-style | 8XXX XXXX | +65 8XXX XXXX | 0011 65 8XXX XXXX |
X characters are placeholders, not a private callable number. Save +65 in contacts; use 0011 only for all-digit Australian access.
Dial it step by step
- 1
Exit the Australian network. On a mobile or modern contact book, start with +. On an Australian landline, PBX, or digit-only service, dial 0011.
- 2
Add the Singapore country calling code: 65.
- 3
Add the ordinary eight-digit Singapore NSN. There is no trunk prefix 0 to strip.
Portable contact format: + 65 + 8-digit NSN
Digits-only call from Australia: 0011 + 65 + 8-digit NSN
Mobile and landline rules
- Ordinary mobile and fixed-line numbers have eight digits.
- Mobile-style numbers commonly begin with 8 or 9; landline-style examples begin with 6.
- There is no Australian-style trunk-zero transformation on the Singapore destination.
See the Singapore calling-code reference and the international dialing format guide.
Worked examples
Domestic → portable international → digits-only from Australia. All subscriber digits shown as X are placeholders.

Common mistakes on this route
- Adding a leading 0 to the eight-digit Singapore destination.
- Saving Australia’s 0011 access prefix as part of the Singapore number.
- Applying Australia’s own drop-0 habit to the Singapore destination.
Area codes
Singapore does not use geographic city area codes in the same way as larger national plans. For ordinary numbers, use the complete eight-digit NSN after +65 or 0011 65.
Time difference (practical)
Singapore is UTC+8 with no daylight saving time. It is often about two to three hours behind Sydney or Melbourne depending on Australian daylight saving time; Australia spans multiple time zones.
How the international format is built
Under ITU-T E.164, the international number is the country code plus national significant number, with a maximum of 15 digits. The + symbol and spacing are access/display notation rather than E.164 digits.
Portable
+ 65 + 8-digit NSN
Digits-only from Australia
0011 + 65 + 8-digit NSN
