Phone number details
How to read a Singapore phone number
A Singapore number is +65 followed by 8 digits. Knowing which of those digits mark a mobile is what tells you what the call will cost before you place it.
Singapore uses no trunk prefix, so the national number is dialled exactly as written after the country code.
Mobile prefixes
Landline prefixes
Prefix ranges still identify a line as mobile or fixed even where a number has been ported between operators, because the mobile and fixed blocks are separate and numbers do not move between them. Operator identification from a prefix, by contrast, stopped being reliable once portability arrived.

All toolsFrequently asked questions
What is the country code for Singapore?
The country code for Singapore is +65. Dial this after the exit code (or use + on a mobile).
What does a Singapore phone number look like?
A Singapore number is written as +65 6123 4567: the country code +65 followed by 8 digits. That total is fixed by the national numbering plan, so a number with one digit missing is a typo rather than a shorter valid number.
How can I tell if a Singapore number is a mobile?
By its leading digits. In Singapore, a national number of 8 digits beginning with 8, 9 is a mobile. That still works after a number has been ported between operators, because mobile and fixed-line blocks are separate ranges and numbers do not move between them.
Do I need to drop the leading 0 when calling Singapore?
Singapore does not use a trunk prefix, so you dial the local number exactly as-is after the country code.
How much does it cost to call Singapore?
Telvio charges $0.17/min to Singapore landlines and $0.17/min to mobiles. Billing is per second with no connection fees, so you pay only for the seconds you talk.
