FAQ’s
Are there registration requirements for Medan phone numbers?
Yes, Indonesia requires identity and address verification — an Indonesian passport or ID copy (businesses provide an Indonesian incorporation certificate), an address in Indonesia with a utility bill less than 6 months old, and a brief description of how you'll use the number. The number shown during signup is a demo; your active number is assigned once registration is complete. Please see the main Indonesia page for full details.
Can I get SMS on my Medan virtual phone number?
Unfortunately Medan, ID numbers do not come with SMS capabilities at the moment. This can change at any time, so follow us on social media for updates. Full list of SMS enabled numbers here.
My family lives in Medan but I work in Malaysia — is this useful for me?
Very. Medan and the Malay Peninsula are separated only by the Strait of Malacca, and plenty of families and businesses span both sides. Give relatives a local 61 number to call, and answer with FlyNumber SIP in any SIP calling app, or have calls forwarded to your Malaysian number.
Can commodity traders use a Medan number for supplier relations?
Yes — North Sumatra's plantation and commodity businesses run on phone calls. A local Medan number lets suppliers, brokers, and logistics partners reach you at local-call familiarity, while the calls ring wherever your trading desk actually sits.
Can I make outgoing calls with the Medan number as my caller ID?
Yes. With our optional cloud phone system you can place outbound calls displaying your Medan FlyNumber, using the free app or a SIP account. A low per-minute rate applies.
Does the 61 area code cover more than Medan?
Yes — 61 serves greater Medan, including Binjai and much of the surrounding Deli Serdang regency, so your number reads as local across the metropolitan area.
A genuine Medan ID phone number
Medan uses the area code 61, covering the city along with Binjai and the surrounding Deli Serdang area — the commercial heart of North Sumatra.
From abroad, dial +62 61 followed by the local number; within Indonesia, callers dial 061 first. It's the prefix Sumatrans associate with the island's biggest marketplace.

Local info you may want to know
Medan grew rich on Deli tobacco in the late 1800s, and that plantation-era wealth still shows in landmarks like the Maimun Palace of the Deli Sultanate, the Great Mosque Al-Mashun, and the Tjong A Fie Mansion in the old Kesawan quarter. Today the city is one of Indonesia's most multicultural, with Batak, Malay, Javanese, Chinese, and Tamil communities shaping its commerce and its famous food scene — think soto Medan, bika ambon, and some of the best durian in the country.
Economically, Medan anchors western Indonesia: it's the hub for North Sumatra's palm oil, rubber, and coffee trade, served by the Port of Belawan and Kualanamu International Airport. The city is also the jumping-off point for Lake Toba — the world's largest volcanic lake — and the orangutan forests of Bukit Lawang, making tourism a growing part of the mix.
