It is important to keep in touch with friends and family who live in Malaysia.You can make a successful call to Malaysia from your cell phone if you know the US exit code (011) and Malaysia's country code (60).You can use different social media apps to make a video or voice call from your phone.
Step 1: The US exit code is.
This code tells your telephone provider that your call is going to be directed to another country, which will allow you to leave the US through your phone.It will look like this at the beginning of your call to Malaysia.
Step 2: The country code of Malaysia is 60.
This tells your phone provider that you are calling Malaysia.Some countries have more than one country code, but Malaysia only has one.Your call will look like this after you dial the country code.
Step 3: If you're calling a phone, input the area code.
If you want your call to go through, you need to include the area code for Alor Setar in your country code.You can find a list of Malaysia's area codes at www.howtocallabroad.com.If you were calling a landline in Muar, it would look like this.
Step 4: If you are calling a cell phone, put a "1" after the country code.
Cell phones don't have an area code.Enter the number "1" instead.If you were calling a cellphone in Malaysia, the call would go as follows.
Step 5: The area/cell phone code should be entered after the 6- to 8-digit phone number.
You have to get the number from the person you are talking to.It will be either 7 or 6 digits.Wait for your call to be connected after you dial the number.When you are done with your call, it will look like a variation of this.
Step 6: If you don't have an international calling plan, purchase a calling card.
Buying an international calling card may be more cost effective for your calls to Malaysia.Go to your local grocery store or shop online to compare prices.Make sure that the calling card includes calls to Malaysia.The per-minute cost is not the only fee that might be included.There may be a connection fee that is separate from the per-minute fee.You can look up reviews online to see what others are saying if you stick with big names.
Step 7: You can place calls for free with social media apps.
If you have a Facebook account and have downloaded the Messenger app, you can use it to call anyone who also has that app.If you don't have a phone, you can use Facebook Messenger from your computer.You could send videos to someone in Malaysia using apps.You won't be able to talk back and forth like you would on a phone call, but it's an easy and free way to send a quick message.
Step 8: Video and voice calls can be made using other apps.
International calls can be made using popular and well-reviewed apps.The person you are calling has the same app and is connected to the internet.You can text internationally for free with many of these apps.To avoid overage charges, be aware of how much data you are using.
