Country code Singapore, +65 or 0065?

There are two spellings for the Singapore area code, namely +65 and 0065. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Singapore and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Singapore that starts with a “+” (i.e. +65) 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 Singapore using the +65 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 Singapore area code with leading zeros (0065) 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 0065

In fact, the 0065 variant is used for calls to Singapore, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 0065 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Singapore begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 01165.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Singapore you can always use the country code 0065. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international dialing code (+65) of the Singapore country code works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
