Country code Malaysia, +60 or 0060?

There are two spellings for the Malaysia area code, namely +60 and 0060. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Malaysia and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Malaysia that starts with a “+” (i.e. +60) is the so-called international code (international spelling). It is primarily used in the mobile communications sector. Most cell phones can make an international call to Malaysia using the +60 area code. This applies to almost every country in the world.

Unfortunately, there are phones (especially older models) that do not support the international spelling. The Malaysia area code with leading zeros (0060) is then used on these phones. The leading zeros are also referred to as the so-called traffic elimination number. When you call, they indicate that it is an international call.

Problem: Access code and area code 0060

In fact, the 0060 variant applies to calls to Malaysia, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 0060 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Malaysia begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 01160.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Malaysia you can always use the country code 0060. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international variant (+60) of the country code Malaysia works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
