How to Dial Malaysia from the USA
Reaching Kuala Lumpur or Sabah takes three quick steps. Here is the format.
USA Exit Code
Dial 011.
This is the code that lets a call leave the United States.
(On mobile/VoIP, just use +)
Malaysia Code (+60)
Dial 60.
This routes the call onto Malaysia's national phone network.
Area Code & Number
Add the city code or mobile prefix, then the number.Important: leave off the leading zero!
Why You Skip the Leading Zero
Within Malaysia, numbers open with a '0' (for example, 03 for KL, 012 for Maxis). Dialing from the USA, that zero gets dropped.
Malaysia City Codes
Area codes for the main Malaysian cities. Once you have dialed +60, leave the '0' off.
| City | Region | Area Code |
|---|---|---|
| Kuala Lumpur | Federal Territory | 03 |
| Penang | Penang/Kedah/Perlis | 04 |
| Johor Bahru | Johor | 07 |
| Ipoh | Perak | 05 |
| Kota Kinabalu | Sabah | 088 |
| City | Region | Area Code |
|---|---|---|
| Kuching | Sarawak | 082 |
| Melaka | Malacca/Negeri Sembilan | 06 |
| Kuantan | Pahang/Terengganu/Kelantan | 09 |
| Putrajaya | Federal Territory | 03 |
| Sandakan | Sabah | 089 |
Malaysian Mobile Prefixes
The prefix tells you the carrier. After +60, dial these digits with the first 0 removed.
