About Brazil Phone Numbers

Brazilian mobile numbers are 11 digits: (XX) 9XXXX-XXXX. The first 2 digits are the DDD area code, followed by 9 and 8 more digits. Landlines are 10 digits without the 9.

How to Dial Brazil Phone Numbers

To call a Brazil phone number, the exact format depends on where the call starts. Domestic mobile calls usually use the area code and national number, while international calls to Brazil use the +55 country code.

  • Within Brazil: Dial the full national number with the area code for standard domestic calls.
    Example: (11) 91234-5678
  • From abroad to Brazil: Dial +55 followed by the area code and national number.
    Example: +55 (11) 91234-5678
  • From Brazil to other countries: Dial 00, your carrier code if required, then the country code and full phone number.
    Example: 00 21 1 212 555 0123

Note: Brazilian mobile numbers commonly include a 2-digit area code, and some long-distance or international calls may require a carrier selection code.

Special Cases

Some numbers and prefixes in Brazil have special rules or reserved uses.

  • Emergency Numbers

    190192193

    Brazil uses separate short emergency numbers instead of a single universal code. 190 is for police, 192 is for mobile emergency medical care (SAMU), and 193 is for fire and rescue services.

  • Toll-Free Numbers

    0800

    Anatel defines the 0800 series as a non-geographic code for companies and institutions that pay for the telecommunications service, making the call free of charge for the originating consumer in the standard case.

  • 0300 Shared-Cost Numbers

    03000303

    The 0300 series is a non-geographic range where call charges are shared between the caller and the receiving party. It is used for regulated service access rather than for ordinary personal subscriber numbers.
