Malaysia Phone Number Format & Country Code +60
Malaysian mobile numbers are 10-11 digits locally starting with 01. The trunk prefix 0 is dropped for international dialing, leaving 9-10 digits after the country code. Prefixes 011x are 11 digits locally, while 012-019 are 10 digits. To dial a Malaysia number internationally, replace the local trunk prefix with +60. For example, 012-345 6789 becomes +60 12-345 6789. NumSwift converts between these formats automatically, validating each number against Malaysia's numbering plan.
