Get Your Own Singapore Phone Number

Many international organisations and companies have their headquarters in Singapore.

Expanding your business into Singapore opens the door to one of the most dynamic economies in Asia. Known as a global hub for international business and innovation, Singapore offers companies a unique opportunity to connect with local customers and strengthen brand recognition. One of the most effective ways to establish a strong foothold in the Singaporean market is by activating a Singapore virtual number with Belfabriek.

A Singapore phone number gives you direct access to your target audience, enhances customer engagement, and allows you to handle business communications professionally—without the need for a physical office in Singapore.

Business culture in Singapore

Understanding business culture is crucial when expanding into Singapore. Punctuality, efficiency, and professionalism are highly valued. Business calls should be made during Singapore’s business hours, as timing is crucial when reaching Singaporean clients or partners abroad.

Building trust with local customers often begins with business communications that are clear, responsive, and adapted to the time zones of your clients.

By having a Singapore virtual phone number, you show that you are committed to customer support calls and available for all business conversations. This local identity makes your company appear reliable, approachable, and strategically located for the Singaporean market.

Singapore phone number format

Before activating a Singapore number, it’s important to understand the number format:

• Country code: +65 (the same code applies to the entire country; there are no separate area codes for cities).

• Subscriber number: An 8-digit sequence, making the full phone number 10 digits long when including the country code.

• Mobile numbers: Typically start with the first digit 8 or 9.

• Landline numbers: Often begin with 6.

• Toll free numbers: Usually start with 1800, enabling free calls for customers.

For domestic calls within Singapore, users can simply dial the local number without additional codes. For international calls, dial the exit code, followed by Singapore’s country code (+65), and then the subscriber’s number.
