- 1
Dial your exit code
From the United States and Canada that is 011. From most of Europe, Asia, and Africa it is 00. On any mobile you can simply press and hold 0 to get a + instead, which works from anywhere. - 2
Dial 65
65 is the country calling code for Singapore. It never changes and it is the same from every country in the world. - 3
Dial the number exactly as written
Singapore has no national trunk prefix, so the number you would dial locally is the same number you dial after +65. Nothing to strip. - 4
Check the time first
Singapore is on SGT (UTC+8, no DST). Business calls placed outside local working hours are the most common reason an international call goes unanswered.
