International Call
An international telephone call is a call between the origination and destination located in different countries. In the public switched telephone network (PSTN), these telephone calls are processed by international gateway exchanges (switches). Charges for these calls were high historically but declined greatly during the 20th century due to advances in technology liberalization. Originally they were placed via long-distance operators. The calls are transmitted by cable, radio links, fiber, and communications satellites, but the advent of the Internet has enabled direct connections from endpoint to endpoint with Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technologies. In the 1960s, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) established a world-wide telephone numbering plan to facilitate fully automatic international service, by the use of telephone country codes.

Due to the small geographical size of Singapore, there are no area or trunk codes; all numbers belong to one numbering area, and thus come in the same 8-digit format. Numbers are categorised based on the first digit, thus providing ten possible categories, of which six are currently in use and the remaining four reserved for future usage. History Until 1985, subscribers' telephone numbers in Singapore were five and six digits. Five digits were introduced in 1960s, whereas 5-digit and 6-digit phone numbers were introduced in 1960s as fixed lines grew, but in that year, these changed to seven digits as the introduction of new towns arose (Tampines, Jurong East, Bukit Batok, Yishun and Hougang) and a large number of new numbers were required.
