How To Call Denmark From Singapore

How to Call Denmark from Singapore (Landline & Mobile)

Calling Denmark from Singapore is simple and uses a straightforward format.

1. Dial Singapore's international access code: 001 (or 002, 008 depending on your phone company)
2. Dial the Denmark country code: 45
3. Dial the local Danish phone number (this is typically 8 digits long).

For example, if you're calling the number 12 34 56 78 in Denmark, you would dial 001 45 12345678 from Singapore.

Important Note: Denmark uses a closed numbering plan, meaning there are no separate area codes to dial after the country code. All numbers are 8 digits long.

Different Ways to Dial Internationally from Singapore

Singapore offers several international access codes depending on your provider:

• 001: SingTel
• 002: M1
• 008: StarHub

Using different codes might result in different charges from your standard phone provider. When using a phone card, such as those from Singapore Phone Cards, always use the local access number provided with the card for the best rates.

Understanding Danish Phone Numbers

Danish phone numbers have a simple, fixed structure:

• Country Code: 45
• Local Number: 8 digits. There are no separate area codes. The first digit(s) can sometimes indicate the type of number (e.g., landline vs mobile), but you always dial all 8 digits after the country code.

Total digits dialed after the Singapore exit code: 001 + 45 + 8 digits.

Time Difference: Singapore to Denmark

Denmark operates on **Central European Time (CET)** during winter and **Central European Summer Time (CEST)** during summer.

• CET (Standard Time): UTC+1 (Observed roughly from late October to late March)
• CEST (Daylight Saving Time): UTC+2 (Observed roughly from late March to late October)

Singapore is always **UTC+8**.

Therefore:

• During **CET (UTC+1)**, Denmark is **7 hours behind** Singapore. (e.g., 12 PM noon Singapore = 5 AM Denmark)
• During **CEST (UTC+2)**, Denmark is **6 hours behind** Singapore. (e.g., 12 PM noon Singapore = 6 AM Denmark)

Always check the current date to determine if Denmark is observing CET or CEST before calling, especially for business calls.

Special Numbers to Know (Denmark)

• Emergency (Police, Fire, Ambulance): 112
• Non-Emergency Police: 114
• Medical Helpline (Non-Emergency): Varies by region, often accessible via local health authority websites.

Calling Business Extensions

If you need to reach a specific extension at a business in Denmark:

1. Dial the full international number (001 45 LocalNumber).
2. Wait for the automated system or receptionist to answer.
3. Listen for instructions (often in Danish or English) and enter the extension number when prompted.

Best Time to Call Denmark from Singapore

Due to the 6 or 7-hour time difference, the best overlap for standard Danish business hours (approx. 9 AM - 5 PM CET/CEST) is during Singapore's afternoon and evening:

• During **CEST (Summer, UTC+2)**: Singapore **3 PM - 11 PM (SGT)** corresponds to roughly 9 AM - 5 PM in Denmark.
• During **CET (Winter, UTC+1)**: Singapore **4 PM - 12 AM (midnight) (SGT)** corresponds to roughly 9 AM - 5 PM in Denmark.

Calling during Singapore's morning will reach Denmark very early or before business hours.
