Keep the area code. Lose the 0 and the carrier.
Brazilians write long-distance numbers with a 0 and a carrier code in front. From abroad, both go: dial 55, the two-digit area code and the number. And if a mobile has only 8 digits, it was saved before 2016 and needs a 9.

Calling Brazil: your questions
Reviewed 29 October 2026.
What is the country code for Brazil?
Brazil's country code is +55. After it come the two-digit area code and the number: +55 11 98765 4321 for a São Paulo mobile.
How do I call Brazil from the USA?
Dial 011 55, the area code and the number: 011 55 11 98765 4321 for a São Paulo mobile, 011 55 21 2345 6789 for a Rio landline. Leave out any 0 or carrier code written in front. From a mobile or SIP app, +55 works instead of 011 55.
How do I call Brazil from Portugal, the UK, Canada, Japan or Australia?
From Portugal and the UK dial 00 55, from Canada 011 55, from Japan 010 55, from Australia 0011 55, then the area code and the number. On a mobile or SIP app, +55 works everywhere.
How do I call a Brazilian mobile?
A Brazilian mobile is the two-digit area code and 9 digits starting with 9: +55 11 98765 4321. If a saved number has only 8 digits after the area code, it is from before 2016; put a 9 in front.
What is the number Brazilians write before the area code?
A 0 and a two-digit carrier code, such as 0 21 for Claro or 0 15 for Vivo. They choose the phone company for a long-distance call inside Brazil. From abroad, leave both out: your own provider carries the call.
What are the area codes for São Paulo, Rio and Brasília?
São Paulo is 11, Rio de Janeiro 21, Brasília 61, Belo Horizonte 31, Curitiba 41, Porto Alegre 51, Salvador 71, Recife 81, Fortaleza 85 and Manaus 92. The reader at the top names the city for all 67 area codes.
Does Brazil have daylight saving time?
No, not since 2019, and none is planned for 2026 to 2027. São Paulo is 1 hour ahead of New York in US summer and 2 hours in US winter. Manaus and Cuiabá are an hour behind São Paulo, and Acre two.
How much does it cost to call Brazil?
$0.0032 a minute for any phone in Brazil, from São Paulo mobiles to Manaus landlines, and nothing to connect. An hour on the phone costs $0.19, and $20 buys 6,250 minutes. Each call rounds up to a full minute.
Can I call a Brazilian 0800 or 4004 number from abroad?
Rarely. Brazil's 0800 lines are free calls for people inside the country, 0300 numbers are shared cost, and 4004 and 3003 numbers have no area code and only work from Brazilian phones. Look for a regular number with an area code on the company's website.
Can I clean a whole list of Brazilian numbers?
Yes. Paste them into the cleaner above, names and all. It drops 0s and carrier codes, adds missing 9s, and copies the dialable numbers in +55 form for your phone, CRM or PBX. Nothing leaves your browser.
Do I need a Brazil calling card?
No. From the USA you dial 011 55, the area code and the number, or +55 from a SIP app; no access number comes first. Every Brazilian mobile and landline is $0.0032 a minute.
Every Brazilian phone, one rate. 6,250 minutes for $20.
