Singapore Calling Code FAQ
- What is the country calling code for Singapore?
- +65. From abroad, dial your network’s exit code (or +), then 65, then the eight-digit number. Remove nothing and add nothing.
- Is it +65 or 65?
- Same code. +65 is the portable form for contacts and mobiles; 65 is what follows an origin exit prefix (for example 011 65… from the US, or 0011 65… from Australia). Do not store the origin exit digits as part of the contact.
- Do I add or drop a 0?
- Neither. There is no domestic trunk prefix to remove from ordinary eight-digit numbers, and you should not invent one. +65 0XXX… is wrong; a number written domestically as eight digits stays those same eight digits after +65.
- How do I dial a Singapore mobile from the US or UK?
- From the US: 011 65 8XXX XXXX. From the UK: 00 65 8XXX XXXX. From any mobile: +65 8XXX XXXX. Landlines work the same way with 6XXX XXXX.
- Which exit code do I use to call abroad from Singapore?
- On a mobile, use + and you don’t need one. If digits are required, Key Facts list 001. Use one exit code per call, never two in the same dial string, and don’t save any exit code in a contact.
How to Dial Singapore
Saving the number in contacts
Start with +65, then use the reviewed national significant number. There is no domestic trunk prefix to remove from ordinary eight-digit numbers.
Calling from abroad
On a mobile, use the + form. If a network requires digits instead, replace + with that origin network's international prefix. Singapore's own standard exit prefix for outbound calls is 001.
No area codes. All subscriber numbers are 8 digits.

Exceptions and Routing Notes
Common Singapore Formatting Mistakes
- Adding a leading 0 before the eight-digit number.
- Saving a carrier-specific international access code as part of the contact.
- Assuming the first digit identifies the current mobile carrier.
Number Portability and Carrier Data
Mobile number portability means a prefix may not identify the current carrier. Treat carrier data as a timestamped lookup result, not a permanent property of the number.
