Malaysia Mobile Number Format and Carrier Prefix Ranges

Malaysian mobile numbers are 9 digits after the +60 country code. In local format, all mobile numbers start with 01 — for example, 012-3456789 (Maxis). In international format, the leading 0 is replaced by the country code: +60 12-3456789. Malaysia has three main mobile operators, with a significant market consolidation in 2022 when Celcom and Digi merged to form CelcomDigi, now the country's largest carrier by subscriber count.

• Maxis— prefixes 012, 017. One of Malaysia's oldest mobile carriers, Maxis operates a nationwide 4G and 5G network and holds a strong position in the postpaid segment. Maxis numbers (012 and 017 prefixes) are among the most recognisable Malaysian mobile ranges and are accepted across all major Malaysian digital platforms without restriction.
• CelcomDigi— prefixes 010, 011 (shared), 013, 016, 019. Formed from the 2022 merger of Celcom Axiata and Digi Telecommunications, CelcomDigi is now Malaysia's largest mobile operator by subscriber count. The merged entity retains both legacy prefix ranges: former Digi numbers (010, 016) and former Celcom numbers (013, 019). The merger combined over 20 million subscribers and is the most significant structural change in Malaysian telecoms in the past decade.
• U Mobile— prefixes 011 (allocated blocks), 018. The fourth national carrier and the most recent to achieve full national network coverage. U Mobile competes aggressively on data pricing and has a growing subscriber base among younger users. U Mobile numbers in the 018 range are fully accepted on Grab, Shopee MY, and other major Malaysian platforms.

When entering a Malaysian number on a verification platform, select Malaysia (+60) from the country dropdown. Enter the number without the leading 0 — for a Maxis number 012-3456789, enter 12-3456789 or +60 12-3456789 depending on the format the platform expects.
