How to call Malaysia from Singapore

In short

To call Malaysia from Singapore, use the country code +60, then the number without its leading zero. With StartACall you call from the browser, no app and no SIM, from about $0.17 per minute to a landline and about $0.244 to a mobile. The first call is free and there is no exit code to dial.

The Malaysia code and dropping the leading zero

Malaysia uses the country code +60. Numbers begin with a zero locally, and that leading zero is dropped when you call from abroad. Mobile numbers start with 01 locally, so a mobile becomes +60 1 and the rest of the number on an international call.

Landlines use area codes such as 03 for Kuala Lumpur, 04 for Penang and 07 for Johor Bahru, and the zero is dropped the same way. So a Kuala Lumpur landline becomes +60 3 and the number. With StartACall you type the plus sign and the sequence, with no Singapore exit code like 000 or 001 to add first.

Mobile and landline prefixes

After +60, the next digit tells you the line type. A 1 means a mobile, since Malaysian mobiles start 01 locally and the zero comes off. A short area code such as 3 for Kuala Lumpur, 4 for Penang or 7 for Johor Bahru means a landline, with the local leading zero on that area code dropped from abroad.

This matters for the rate. A landline runs about $0.17 per minute while a mobile runs about $0.244 per minute, so for a long call it helps to know which one you are reaching. Both connect the same clear way from the browser, and if you have a number written locally with a leading zero, you simply remove it and add +60 in front.

What it costs to call Malaysia

A landline call to Malaysia runs about $0.17 per minute, and a mobile is about $0.244 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.

Singapore and Malaysia are close neighbours with constant cross border ties for family, work and business, so this is handy for everyday calls across the causeway. The free first call lets you check the line before topping up.

Built for cross border ties

Thousands of people commute between Singapore and Malaysia, and many families straddle both sides of the causeway. A quick call to confirm a pickup, check on a parent in Johor Bahru or sort a work matter in Kuala Lumpur is part of daily life, and a browser call handles all of it without an app on either side.

Because there is no monthly plan and the credit never expires, these short frequent calls cost only the minutes you use. There is no roaming charge if you are on the Malaysia side either, since the call runs over the internet wherever you are. For commuters who cross often, that means one consistent rate whether the call is placed from Singapore or from across the causeway.

Same time zone, no planning needed

Singapore and Malaysia share the same time zone, so there is no time difference to plan around. Whatever hour suits you in Singapore is the same hour in Malaysia.

That makes calling simple. Daytime, evening or a quick midday call all line up perfectly on both sides, which is part of why cross border calls are so frequent.
