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

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.
程式碼 +60 被分配給 Malaysia 由 ITU 根據 E.164 計劃制定。這 “+” 意思是「撥打您當地的國際退出代碼」；在行動裝置上，按住 0 來輸入它。
這四個意思都是一樣的——它們將您的電話連接到 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.

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.
固定電話
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.
移動的
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
幾乎每次失敗的國際電話都是格式問題，而不是網路問題。
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

Malaysia +60 — FAQ
Do I keep the leading 0 when calling a Malaysian number from abroad?expand_more
No — that 0 is a domestic trunk prefix. From abroad, drop it: dial +60 3... for KL, not +60 03...
How do I dial East Malaysia — Sabah or Sarawak — from overseas?expand_more
Use the 2-digit code without its 0: Kuching is +60 82..., Kota Kinabalu is +60 88...
Why are some Malaysian area codes one digit and others two?expand_more
Peninsular Malaysia uses single-digit codes (3–7, 9); Sabah and Sarawak in East Malaysia use 2-digit 8x codes — a split that mirrors the country's geography.

CelcomDigi, Maxis, U Mobile and YTL (Yes 4G) — but with portability since 2008, the 01x prefix shows only the original carrier.
