How much does it cost to call Singapore?

DialAnyone bills calls to Singapore by the second from your credit balance, with no monthly minimum and no contract. Rates vary by whether you are calling a landline or a mobile.

DestinationRateIn credits
Singapore landline$0.01–$0.02/min2.6–4 credits/min
Singapore mobile$0.02–$0.02/min4–4.4 credits/min

Calling a Singapore mobile costs noticeably more than a landline, so where you have both numbers for a contact, the landline is the cheaper option.

Singapore has 10 distinct dialling prefixes in our rate table, so the exact per-minute price depends on the specific number you dial.

How are Singapore phone numbers structured?

Singapore's numbering system is straightforward once you know the pattern. Mobile numbers start with 8 or 9, and those eight-digit strings are what most residents and professionals give as their primary contact. Landlines start with 6 and are associated with offices, hotels, and households that maintain a fixed connection — a shrinking but still relevant segment, particularly in corporate and government settings. There are no geographic area codes; the country is small enough that the first digit alone carries the type distinction. One thing to watch for: numbers beginning with 3 are VoIP lines often used by businesses running cloud-based phone systems, so a 3 number is still a legitimate business contact, just not a traditional landline. Toll-free 1800 numbers will not connect from abroad, so always look for the direct geographic or mobile alternative when calling a Singapore company from overseas.

When is the best time to call Singapore?

Landlines in Singapore are generally cheaper to call from abroad than mobiles, and many larger companies list both — worth using the 6-prefix line for longer calls. Singapore runs UTC+8 with no daylight saving, ever, which keeps the time difference arithmetic constant throughout the year. Business hours are typically 9 AM to 6 PM on weekdays. From the US West Coast, that means early morning the previous day; from the UK, it is a manageable late afternoon overlap. Singaporeans pick up from unknown international numbers more reliably than in many other markets — cold calling a company's published number is rarely wasted. Major public holidays cluster around Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Puasa, and Deepavali, all of which shift by year; checking the local calendar before scheduling a call in those periods is a small effort that avoids missing key contacts during multi-day celebrations.

Getting a Singapore Phone Number

A Singapore phone number can be essential for various reasons, whether you are a business professional aiming to establish a local presence, a traveler wanting to stay connected while in the country, or someone with family and friends in Singapore. Having a local number allows for seamless communication, enabling you to receive calls and messages without incurring hefty international roaming charges. It can also enhance your credibility as a business by presenting a local face to clients or customers. Virtual phone numbers have become increasingly popular for international users. These numbers are not tied to a physical SIM card, allowing you to receive calls and texts on your existing devices over the internet. This flexibility is particularly advantageous for expatriates or businesses with global operations, who can maintain local connections without the need for a physical presence in Singapore.

Types of Singapore Phone Numbers

In Singapore, phone numbers are categorized into several types, each serving different purposes. Local numbers are typically used for residential and business purposes, while mobile numbers are assigned to mobile devices and are essential for on-the-go communication. The country code for Singapore is +65, and numbers typically consist of 8 digits. Toll-free numbers, starting with 1800, allow customers to contact businesses without incurring charges, making them ideal for customer service operations. Virtual numbers, on the other hand, are increasingly popular among businesses and individuals seeking flexibility in communication. These numbers can route calls to any phone, regardless of location, allowing users to maintain a local presence while being anywhere in the world.

Benefits of a Virtual Singapore Number

A virtual Singapore number offers numerous advantages for both individuals and businesses. For individuals, it allows you to receive calls from Singapore without physically being in the country, making it easier to stay connected with family, friends, or colleagues. By providing local contacts with a Singapore number, it eliminates international call costs, fostering better communication. For businesses, having a virtual number enhances credibility, as it presents a local business identity to clients or customers. This local presence can significantly improve customer trust and engagement. Additionally, it can lead to substantial cost savings compared to traditional international forwarding services, allowing businesses to allocate resources more effectively. Instead of incurring high charges for forwarding calls from overseas, a virtual number can manage communications efficiently while maintaining a professional image.

Using Your Singapore Number with DialAnyone

Using a Singapore number through DialAnyone is a straightforward process. First, you’ll need to sign up for an account on the DialAnyone platform. This typically involves providing basic personal information and selecting your preferred virtual number. Once registered, you can choose a Singapore number from the available options. With DialAnyone, you can easily make and receive calls using the app on various devices, including smartphones, tablets, and computers. The platform also supports SMS capabilities, allowing you to send and receive text messages through your virtual number. One of the key features is the ability to manage multiple numbers from a single account, which is particularly useful for businesses that operate in various regions or require separate numbers for different functions, such as customer service and sales.

Singapore Number for Business

Establishing a local business presence in Singapore can significantly enhance your market reach and customer engagement. A Singapore phone number allows potential clients to contact you easily, fostering a sense of trust and accessibility. It also helps in delivering excellent customer service since clients prefer communicating with businesses that have a local touch. A professional image can be bolstered by using a local number, which signals that you are serious about serving the Singaporean market. Furthermore, integrating your Singapore number with existing business systems, such as CRM or customer support platforms, can streamline operations and improve response times. This integration can lead to enhanced customer satisfaction, as clients can reach you quickly and conveniently.

Pricing for Singapore Numbers

When considering virtual Singapore numbers, pricing can vary based on the provider and the services offered. Typically, virtual numbers can cost anywhere from SGD 5 to SGD 30 per month, depending on the features included, such as call forwarding, SMS capabilities, and customer support. Providers often offer two pricing models: monthly subscriptions or pay-as-you-go options. Monthly fees provide a predictable expense, while pay-as-you-go can be beneficial for those who anticipate infrequent use. Additionally, some services operate on a credit-based pricing model, where users purchase credits to use for calls or texts. This flexibility allows you to select the best option that fits your usage patterns compared to other communication alternatives, which may have hidden fees or higher costs associated with international forwarding.

Can a Singapore Number Receive SMS?

No. Singapore numbers are voice-only. They cannot send or receive text messages, so they will not receive SMS verification codes. SMS is not available on Singapore numbers through DialAnyone; availability is re-checked daily and this page updates if that changes.

What to use for verification codes instead

A US or UK number receives SMS verification codes from most services and works from anywhere in the world — you do not need to be in that country. The live availability list shows every country with SMS-capable numbers today.
