Malaysia country code +60 — call Malaysia & get a number.

Malaysia at a glance
The numbers and facts you need before you dial.
What is the country code for Malaysia?
Malaysia's country code is +60, sitting over an open numbering plan with a domestic trunk prefix "0". That 0 is the whole game when dialing in: it's there for local calls and gone for international ones. From abroad, drop it and dial +60, then the area or mobile code and the subscriber number — whether you're reaching KL on the Peninsular or Kota Kinabalu across the sea.
Code +60 was assigned to Malaysia by the ITU under the E.164 plan. The “+” means “dial your local international exit code”; on a mobile, press and hold 0 to type it.
All four mean the same thing — they connect your call to Malaysia.
How to call Malaysia from anywhere
Exit code, then 60, then the national number minus its leading 0. A KL line shown as 03-2xxx xxxx at home becomes +60 3 2xxx xxxx abroad — and the same drop-the-0 move applies to an East Malaysian 08x code like Kuching's 82.
Full example: +60 3 XXX XXXX — drop the local leading 0 when calling from abroad.
Malaysia phone number format explained
Malaysian numbers aren't a fixed length, and the geography is the reason. Peninsular landlines take a 1-digit area code (3–7, 9); Sabah and Sarawak take a 2-digit 8x code — then a 6–8 digit subscriber number depending on the area. Mobiles sidestep all of that with an 01x code (1 plus one more digit) and 7–8 more digits.
Telepon rumah
Peninsular e.g. +60 3 2xxx xxxx (Kuala Lumpur, 8-digit subscriber); +60 4 xxx xxxx (Penang). East Malaysia e.g. +60 82 xxxxxx (Kuching, Sarawak) — note the shorter subscriber length behind the 2-digit code.
Seluler
01x format, e.g. +60 12 xxx xxxx. The 011 and 015 ranges carry 8-digit subscriber numbers; the other mobile ranges carry 7. Mobiles work identically on both sides of the South China Sea.

Malaysia mobile network prefixes
The prefix after +60 tells you which network issued the SIM — though number portability means it no longer guarantees the operator.

Malaysia time zone
Malaysia runs MYT, UTC+8, year-round with no daylight saving — and notably, Peninsular Malaysia and East Malaysia keep the same clock even though Sabah and Sarawak sit well to the east. One zone, two land masses.
KL mornings (9:00–12:00) reach Australia and the late US evening; afternoons (14:00–17:00) catch early Europe (8:00–11:00 UK). Since Kuching and Kota Kinabalu share KL's clock, one schedule covers the whole country.

Common mistakes when calling Malaysia
Hampir setiap panggilan internasional yang gagal disebabkan oleh masalah format, bukan masalah jaringan.
Leaving the trunk 0 on from abroad: Malaysia's most common slip. Locals dial 03 for KL or 088 for Kota Kinabalu, but internationally the 0 disappears
dial +60 3... and +60 88..., never +60 03...
Treating East Malaysia like the Peninsular: Sabah and Sarawak use 2-digit 8x codes (82 Kuching, 88 Kota Kinabalu), not the single-digit codes of the Peninsular
and their subscriber numbers run shorter.
Reaching for Singapore's retired 02 shortcut: it ended in 2017
dial full +60 from Singapore now.
Getting subscriber length wrong: KL (area 3) carries 8 digits, most Peninsular areas 7, and East Malaysia 6

Use the 2-digit code without its 0: Kuching is +60 82..., Kota Kinabalu is +60 88...
