Calling Brazil from another country is easy once you know the dialing format — and it can cost just a few cents a minute if you skip your carrier. This guide covers exactly how to dial and the cheapest way to connect.
The dialing format
- Brazil’s country code is +55.
- Add the 2-digit area code (DDD), e.g. 11 for São Paulo, 21 for Rio de Janeiro.
- For mobiles, add a 9 before the number: +55 11 9XXXX-XXXX.
