International Dialing Malaysia
This is the international dialing code used when dialing from Malaysia. International Dialing Malaysia Code is also known as Malaysia International Direct Dialing prefix (or IDD) is used when dialing from the Malaysia to outside Malaysia (sometimes also refers to as Malaysia international access code). Do not use Malaysia IDD code when dialing within Malaysia. By simply using the Malaysia Dialing Code before the number, it unables you to place a call to outside Malaysia from within Malaysia. Without this international dialing Malaysia Code, you will not able to place a call outside the Malaysia because the telephone exachange will not reconginize it as a valid international call.
To dial a international number outside Malaysia from within Malaysia, you have to dial International Dialing Malaysia Code or Malaysia International Direct Dialing prefix (IDD), Malaysia Country Code, City/ Area Code, and then the subscriber telephone number respectively as:
+60 (International Dialing Malaysia Code) + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call.
When dialing from a mobile phone outside Malaysia from Malaysia, only Dial '+' + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call. (The "+" is universal mobile international direct dialing prefix also includes Malaysia)
On the other hand, when dialing to Malaysia from outside Malaysia, a Malaysia Country Code is used. Malaysia Country Code however is not used when dialing within Malaysia.
The other type of code is Malaysia National Direct Dialing prefix (or NDD). It is used only when dialing to a destination within the Malaysia (Refer to dialing Malaysia code). Malaysia NDD code is only used as long distance dialing within the Malaysia. Do not use Malaysia National Direct Dialing prefix when dialing from outside Malaysia into Malaysia.
