How to Call Singapore From the US
To call Singapore from the United States, dial 011 + 65 + area code + local number from a US landline, or +65 + area code + local number from a mobile phone. Drop the leading 0 from the local number. Kinvo connects any Singapore number from your browser at $0.05/min — no app, no subscription. For the dialing code itself and number-format reference, see the Singapore country code page.
Singapore has no geographic area codes — every phone number is simply 8 digits, with the first digit identifying the type: 6XXX XXXX is a landline, 8XXX XXXX or 9XXX XXXX is a mobile, 3XXX XXXX is a VoIP/IDD number. There is no trunk prefix to drop. Dial +65 followed by the full 8 digits from anywhere in the world.

From an iPhone
Open the Phone app, press and hold 0 until a + appears, then type 65 followed by the local Singapore number. Or use Kinvo in Safari — no dialer permissions needed.
From Android
Open your Phone app, long-press 0 to get +, then dial +65 + the number. In Chrome, open kinvophone.com and call directly without touching your carrier plan.
From a US Landline
Landlines don't have a + key, so use the full exit code: 011 65 then the local number. Check with your phone provider that international calling is enabled to avoid blocked calls.
How to Call Singapore For Free
If the person you're calling in Singapore has a smartphone with internet access, the cheapest way to call them is free: use WhatsApp, FaceTime, Telegram, Signal, or Google Meet. Both sides need the same app, and calls travel over the internet rather than the phone network — no per-minute fees, no country code needed.
For calling any regular Singapore landline or mobile number — the kind that requires dialing +65 — there is no truly free option, because someone has to pay the termination fee to connect the call. Kinvo is the lowest-cost option for dialing Singapore phone numbers, starting at $0.05/min with no subscription, compared to $1–$3/min at most US carrier rates.
Singapore Calling Tips
Singapore has no area codes. All numbers are 8 digits. Landline numbers start with 6, mobile numbers start with 8 or 9. Dial +65 followed by the 8-digit number. Business hours are 9 AM to 6 PM SGT. English is one of the four official languages and is the primary language for business.
