Buy a Brazilian Virtual Phone Number

This page is for businesses that want to be reachable in Brazil without opening a local office. Whether you are selling to Brazilian consumers, supporting Brazilian customers, or expanding into the Latin American market, a Brazilian virtual phone number lets you present a local identity while keeping your operations internationally.

Brazil is Latin America’s largest economy and the world’s fifth most populous country, with over 210 million people. It is a member of the G20 and BRICS, and its economy spans agriculture, mining, manufacturing, financial services and a rapidly growing technology sector. São Paulo alone has a GDP larger than most countries. A Brazilian phone number gives your business direct access to this vast market.

When a Brazilian customer sees a local São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro number, they recognise it as a domestic call. They pay standard Brazilian rates and feel confident they are dealing with a business that serves the local market. That recognition translates into higher answer rates, more enquiries and stronger customer relationships.

Brazil is the dominant economy in South America, accounting for roughly half the continent’s GDP. The country has a large and growing middle class, high smartphone penetration and an increasingly digital consumer base. Businesses in technology, financial services, education, professional services and consumer goods will find significant opportunities.

The time zone ranges from BRT (UTC-3) in the major business centres to UTC-5 in the western Amazon region. São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro are three hours behind London in winter and four hours behind during daylight saving time, allowing reasonable overlap for afternoon calls from abroad.

Portuguese is the official language, and while English proficiency is growing — particularly in technology and business — having a local Brazilian number removes the perception of distance. A São Paulo 11 or Rio 21 number tells your Brazilian customers that you are set up to serve their market.

Brazil shares borders with nearly every country in South America and serves as the economic engine of the continent. A Brazilian phone number positions your business at the centre of Latin America’s largest market. São Paulo is the financial capital of South America, and Rio de Janeiro remains a major centre for energy, tourism and culture.

For businesses looking to build a presence across Latin America, Brazil is the natural starting point. The country’s size, economic weight and regional influence mean that a Brazilian presence carries credibility across the continent. Combine your Brazilian number with numbers in Argentina, Colombia and Mexico to cover the region’s major markets.

Toll-free 0800 — Free for callers from any Brazilian phone. Best for customer service lines, support desks and national marketing campaigns where you want to remove any cost barrier. Requires a Brazilian address.

Local area code — City-specific numbers that carry a recognisable area code. An 11 number says São Paulo, a 21 says Rio de Janeiro, a 61 says Brasília. Best for businesses targeting specific cities or states, or wanting to appear locally established. A worldwide address is accepted.

Mobile — A Brazilian mobile number starting with 9. Useful when your customers prefer to reach you on a mobile number, or when you want to use the number for both voice and messaging. A worldwide address is accepted.

For most businesses entering the Brazilian market, a local São Paulo 11 number is the most common starting point. Add a toll-free 0800 line for national customer service coverage once your Brazilian business grows.

Brazilian numbers use a trunk prefix 0 for domestic long-distance calls, followed by a carrier selection code and the two-digit area code (DDD). Landline subscriber numbers are eight digits; mobile numbers are nine digits (starting with 9). When displaying internationally, drop the trunk prefix and carrier code, and add +55:

Landline example (São Paulo): 0xx 11 1234 5678 domestically, +55 11 1234 5678 internationally

Mobile example (São Paulo): 0xx 11 91234 5678 domestically, +55 11 91234 5678 internationally

Toll-free example: 0800 123 4567 domestically

On your website, always show the international format with +55 so both Brazilian and international visitors can dial correctly. In advertising targeting Brazilian audiences, use the domestic format.

You choose a Brazilian number — toll-free 0800, local area code or mobile — and tell us where to forward calls. We activate the number, typically within one business day. When someone in Brazil dials your number, the call routes through our network and reaches you on your landline, mobile or VoIP system. The caller pays standard Brazilian rates (or nothing, for toll-free) and your team answers as if they were in São Paulo.

You manage everything through your online account: change forwarding destinations, set opening hours, configure a phone menu or enable voicemail. No hardware, no installation, no Brazilian office required.
