How to call the USA from Singapore

In short

To call the USA from Singapore, use the country code +1, the three digit area code, then the number. With StartACall you call from the browser, no app and no SIM, at about $0.046 per minute flat, the same price for mobile and landline. The first call is free and there is no exit code to dial.

The USA code and area codes

The USA uses the country code +1, followed by a three digit area code and a seven digit number. Common area codes include 212 and 646 for New York, 213 for Los Angeles, 312 for Chicago and 415 for San Francisco. So a New York number is +1 212 and the rest of the digits.

There is no difference in price between calling a mobile or a landline in the USA, so you do not need to worry about the line type. With StartACall you just type +1, the area code and the number, with no Singapore exit code such as 000 or 001 to add first.

Why the line type does not matter in the USA

In many countries you pay more to reach a mobile than a landline. The USA is different. The +1 country code is shared with Canada, and within it the price is one flat rate of about $0.046 per minute whether the number is a mobile or a landline.

That means you never have to read the area code to guess the cost. A New York 212 landline and a US mobile cost the same on StartACall, which makes the USA one of the simplest destinations to budget for.

What it costs to call the USA

Calling the USA runs about $0.046 per minute, the same flat rate for mobile and landline. Billing is per minute, there is no monthly plan, and a small $0.004 connection fee applies per call. The credit you add never expires.

That flat low rate makes the USA one of the cheapest destinations to call from Singapore, which is useful for family, study and business calls. You can try the free first call before topping up any credit.

Handy for study, work and family in the US

Plenty of people in Singapore have a child studying in the US, a colleague at a US head office, or family who moved across. The flat low rate suits all of these, since a long catch up call with a student or a work call to a US time zone stays predictable, with no peak time surcharge to worry about.

Because there is no monthly plan, you only pay when you actually call. If you also want US contacts to reach you back, you can add a US or Canada digital number for about $2.14 to $5 a month, which gives you a local number people there can dial. That number rings in your browser the same way you place calls, so a parent or colleague in the US can reach you without an international call on their end.

Time difference and good times to call

The USA spans several time zones. The East Coast, where New York sits, is about twelve to thirteen hours behind Singapore, while the West Coast is even further back. It is worth checking the city before you call.

Because the gap is large, plan the call. Morning in Singapore often lands in the evening of the previous day on the US East Coast, which can suit family catch ups. For business, check the local hours of the city first.
