- International access prefix: this depends on the country or network you are calling from. No origin was given here, so the prefix is shown as a placeholder. Check the correct prefix with your telephone provider.
- Subscriber number format: the source used for this guide confirms the country code only. It does not confirm the length or structure of Macau subscriber numbers. Enter the number exactly as the Macau contact or organization gives it, without the country code.
- Trunk prefix: the source used here does not say whether Macau numbers are ever written with a domestic trunk prefix. If a number you have includes extra leading digits meant only for local dialing, confirm with the recipient or your carrier before removing them.
- Calls within Macau: this guide covers international calls to Macau. Local dialing rules inside Macau are not covered by the supplied source.
