singapore phone numbers

Global Call Forwarding offers two types of Singapore phone numbers: Toll Free (mobile accessible) and National. These numbers allow foreign businesses to maintain a virtual telephone presence in Singapore, and they are toll free to callers. The numbers work as follows:

  • A caller dials the number.
  • Global Call Forwarding forwards the call to your destination number in over 150 countries around the world.
  • Your company receives the call.

Characteristics of Singapore Phone Numbers

Toll Free (mobile accessible) – Persons dialing the Toll Free (mobile accessible) number can call from landlines, mobile phones, pay phones, and fax transmissions in Singapore; however, persons in other countries cannot reach the number. The number format is 800 n1n2n3 n4n5n6n7. Callers easily recognize that format as a toll free Singapore phone number, but the subscriber’s cost-per-minute is higher than that of the National Singapore phone number.

National – Persons dialing the national number can call from landlines, mobile phones, pay phones, and fax transmissions, and persons in other countries can reach the number. The number format is +65 n1n2n3n4 n5n6n7n8.
