How to Dial Brazil
Saving the number in contacts
Start with +55, then use the reviewed national significant number. Remove the domestic 0 and any carrier-selection code before the two-digit area code when converting to +55 format.
Calling from abroad
On a mobile, use the + form. If a network requires digits instead, replace + with that origin network's international prefix. Brazil's own standard exit prefix for outbound calls is 00; documented alternatives include 0014, 0021, 0031.
Calling a Brazil mobile
Remove 0 and the two-digit carrier code XX; keep area code 11; add +55.

Exceptions and Routing Notes
Common Brazil Formatting Mistakes
- Saving the domestic 0 and carrier code after +55.
- Omitting the two-digit area code.
- Treating a ported mobile prefix as proof of the current carrier.
Number Portability and Carrier Data
Mobile number portability means a prefix may not identify the current carrier. Treat carrier data as a timestamped lookup result, not a permanent property of the number.
