Good to know before you call Singapore

Sound like a local

“Hello”

The plain English greeting used to open most calls

“Hello”

Emergency number

999

995 reaches the fire brigade or an ambulance, not the police. IMDA sets aside every number starting with 99 for the emergency services, which is why both numbers are three digits.

IMDA, National Numbering Plan

Singapore's shared exit code is 000, not 00. Every phone company also runs its own separate 00X prefix, such as 001, for its own IDD service.

Singapore has just one numbering area. IMDA's plan uses no area or trunk codes, so every 8-digit number works the same nationwide.
