International Dialing Singapore
This is the international dialing code used when dialing from Singapore. International Dialing Singapore Code is also known as Singapore International Direct Dialing prefix (or IDD) is used when dialing from the Singapore to outside Singapore (sometimes also refers to as Singapore international access code). Do not use Singapore IDD code when dialing within Singapore. By simply using the Singapore Dialing Code before the number, it unables you to place a call to outside Singapore from within Singapore.

+65 (International Dialing Singapore Code) + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call.
When dialing from a mobile phone outside Singapore from Singapore, only Dial '+' + (Country Code) + City Area Code + Number you wish to call. (The "+" is universal mobile international direct dialing prefix also includes Singapore)
On the other hand, when dialing to Singapore from outside Singapore, a Singapore Country Code is used. Singapore Country Code however is not used when dialing within Singapore.
The other type of code is Singapore National Direct Dialing prefix (or NDD). It is used only when dialing to a destination within the Singapore (Refer to dialing Singapore code).
