Palembang, the capital of South Sumatra, is one of the oldest cities in Southeast Asia — once the seat of the seafaring Srivijaya empire — and today a river-trade city of roughly 1.7 million people on the banks of the Musi.

A local number with the 711 prefix connects your business to South Sumatra's commodity trade, its industry, and a proudly distinctive local market — accessible from any device or software.

A note on SMS: any business use mentioned on this page applies to calls and voice features only. Outbound SMS on FlyNumber is a personal, person-to-person (P2P) service for individuals only — under carrier messaging rules it is not available to any business, organization, or entity, or to anyone texting on a business's behalf, even for one-to-one conversational messages. That is Application-to-Person (A2P) messaging and needs a registered campaign (e.g. 10DLC) through an A2P provider. Outbound SMS is disabled by default and enabled only after an account review. Details here.

FAQ’s

Are there registration requirements for Palembang 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 Palembang virtual phone number?

Unfortunately Palembang, 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.

I buy commodities from South Sumatra — how does a 711 number help?

Suppliers, surveyors, and freight agents around Palembang can reach you on a local call instead of an international one. The calls forward to your desk anywhere in the world, and with the optional cloud PBX you can record conversations and route inquiries by department.

Can a family business selling pempek take nationwide orders on this number?

Yes — list the 711 number on your packaging, marketplace store, and social profiles. Use the cloud phone system's call menu and queue so busy pre-holiday order rushes don't overwhelm a single phone line.

Can I make outgoing calls showing the Palembang number?

Yes. With our optional cloud phone system you can place outbound calls displaying your Palembang FlyNumber as caller ID, using the free app or a SIP account. A low per-minute rate applies.

I'm from Palembang but live abroad — can relatives reach me cheaply?

That's one of the most common uses. Family in Palembang dials your local 711 number as an ordinary local call, and it rings on your phone abroad via the free app or call forwarding.

Local info you may want to know

Palembang was the capital of Srivijaya, the Buddhist maritime empire that dominated Southeast Asian trade routes from the 7th century — making the city well over a millennium old. Its modern icon is the Ampera Bridge, a vertical-lift bridge spanning the Musi River, with the floating markets and river houses of the Musi banks below and Kemaro Island's pagoda a short boat ride upstream.

The city co-hosted the 2018 Asian Games with Jakarta, a legacy that left it with the Jakabaring Sport City complex and Indonesia's first light rail transit (LRT) system. Industry runs deep here too: Palembang is home to Pusri, one of Indonesia's largest fertilizer producers, and serves as the trade hub for South Sumatra's coal, rubber, and coffee.

And of course there's pempek — the fishcake dish Palembang gave the entire country, shipped daily from the city to homesick fans across the archipelago.

A genuine Palembang ID phone number

Palembang uses the area code 711, the recognized prefix for South Sumatra's capital and its surroundings.

From abroad, dial +62 711 followed by the local number; within Indonesia, callers dial 0711 first — the code locals associate with the Musi River city.
