## How to call Malaysia

| Calling from | Dial |
| --- | --- |
| A mobile phone, anywhere | `+60 12 345 6789` |
| United States & Canada | `011 60 12 345 6789` |
| UK, Europe & most countries | `00 60 12 345 6789` |
| Australia | `0011 60 12 345 6789` |
| Inside Malaysia | `012-345 6789` |

Inside Malaysia, numbers are written with the trunk prefix 0 (for example 012-345 6789). Drop that 0 when you dial from abroad.

## Calling abroad from Malaysia

To call another country from a Malaysia landline, start with the exit code **00**, then the destination country code. On a mobile phone, holding **0** to type **+** works everywhere and replaces the exit code.

## Missed call from +60?

If you don’t know anyone in Malaysia, be careful with short missed calls from international numbers. “One-ring” scams hope you call back a premium-rate line. Don’t return the call, don’t share codes sent by SMS, and block the number if it keeps calling. A genuine contact will usually leave a message or text.
