The Indonesia code and how to dial

Indonesia uses the country code +62. Numbers begin with a zero locally, and that leading zero is dropped when calling from abroad. Mobile numbers start with 08 locally, so a mobile becomes +62 8 and the rest of the number on an international call.

Landlines use area codes such as 21 for Jakarta, 31 for Surabaya and 361 for Bali, each written with a leading zero locally that you drop when calling from outside. With StartACall you just type the plus sign and the full sequence, with no Singapore exit code such as 000 or 001 to add first.

Mobile and landline prefixes

After +62, the first digit shows the line type. An 8 means a mobile, since Indonesian mobiles start 08 locally and the zero comes off. A short area code such as 21 for Jakarta, 31 for Surabaya or 361 for Bali means a landline, with that area code's local leading zero dropped on an international call.

Most personal calls go to a mobile, while business and hotel lines are often landlines. The rate of about $0.32 per minute is the same clear per minute price, so you do not need to read the number to budget for the call. If a number is written locally with a leading zero, just remove it, put +62 in front and dial.

What it costs to call Indonesia

A call to Indonesia runs about $0.32 per minute. Billing is per minute, with no monthly plan, and a small $0.004 connection fee applies per call. The credit you add never expires, so a small top up lasts across many calls rather than being used up by a fixed bundle.

With close ties between Singapore and Indonesia for family, work and travel, this suits regular calls to Jakarta, Batam, Bali and beyond. You can try the free first call before adding any credit, which lets you confirm the line sounds clear on a real Indonesian number before you spend anything.

Cheaper than roaming on a trip

Singapore and Indonesia are popular both ways for work and short getaways to Batam, Bintan or Bali. On a normal SIM, calling back to Singapore while you are over there can roam at a high rate, and calling Indonesian numbers from home carries IDD charges that vary by plan.

StartACall keeps it simple at about $0.32 per minute either way, because the call runs over the internet with no roaming. Book a hotel in Bali or check in with family in Jakarta at the same predictable rate, whether you are at home or on the trip. All you need is wifi or mobile data, which most hotels and cafes provide, so you can call ahead before you even land.

Time difference and good times to call

Western Indonesia, including Jakarta and Bali's booking lines, is one hour behind Singapore, while central Indonesia shares the same time as Singapore. It is worth checking the region before you call.

Because the gap is small, most hours line up well. An evening call in Singapore still reaches a comfortable hour across western Indonesia, which makes family calls easy to arrange.
