Calling Brazil on Your Phone
Download Article
Check with your phone service provider to find out the cost of your phone call. Call your phone service provider using their customer service line. Talk to a representative about international calling between the U.S. and Brazil. Charges vary by phone service provider, your phone plan, and which country you're calling.[1]- If you plan on making a lot of calls to Brazil, it might be smart to invest in an international phone plan.
Begin your call by typing "011" to exit the United States. The exit code for the United States is "011." This code will let your call out of the U.S., so remember to include it.[2]Advertisement
Enter "55," Brazil's country code. After entering the exit code, enter Brazil's country code: "55." This code will allow you to place a call in Brazil.- The numbers you've dialed should appear in this sequence: "011-55."
Dial the area code for the phone number you’re dialing. After entering Brazil's country code, enter the two-digit area code for the number that you're calling.- If you're not sure of the area code, try Googling the location of the number you're trying to reach.
- So far, the numbers you've dialed should look like this: "011-55-area code."
Dial the number “9” to reach a mobile number. If you're trying to reach a mobile phone in Brazil, you will also need to dial the number 9. 9 is the initial dialing code for all mobile phone numbers in Brazil, so you must include it.- If you're calling a mobile phone, the numbers you've dialed should be "011-55-area code-9."
Dial the phone number. Now that you're all set to make calls in Brazil, dial the rest of the phone number. The phone number should have 8 remaining digits. Now, you just need to wait for the caller to pick up the phone.- When you've dialed all of the necessary digits, they should look like this: "011-55-area code-9 (for mobile numbers)-8 digit phone number."

Staff AnswerHow.com.vn Staff EditorStaff AnswerTo call a Brazil toll-free number from the US, dial the originating country's exit code (011) followed by the country code (55), and then the toll-free number. Keep in mind that if you're not in Brazil, that "toll-free" part doesn't include you and the call may end up costing you lots of money. - QuestionI am a U.S. citizen traveling in Brazil - how do I use my cell to call a U.S. number from Brazil using my U.S. iphone ??How.com.vn Staff EditorThis answer was written by one of our trained team of researchers who validated it for accuracy and comprehensiveness.
