Who is this page for?
You are a business owner or manager looking for a Portuguese phone number.

Unlock the Portuguese market
A Portuguese phone number gives your business a dedicated local presence in one of Southern Europe’s most attractive markets. It makes it easier for Portuguese customers to reach you at domestic rates and signals commitment to the Portuguese market.
We provide authentic Portuguese (+351) phone numbers that forward directly to your existing landline or mobile. No Portuguese office, no new hardware, no complicated setup.
Your business appears local to every caller, whether they are in Lisbon, Porto, or the Algarve.
Why Portugal?
Portugal has a population of 10.3 million and has undergone a remarkable economic transformation over the past decade. The country has become a European hub for technology startups, tourism, renewable energy, and real estate investment. Lisbon is consistently ranked among Europe’s top cities for tech talent and startup ecosystems, home to Web Summit and a growing number of international companies.
Portugal offers a strategic gateway to both European and Portuguese-speaking markets worldwide, including Brazil, Angola, and Mozambique. The country has strong infrastructure, a highly educated workforce, and one of the most competitive cost bases in Western Europe.
Portugal trade benefits from one of the oldest diplomatic alliances in the world, dating back to the Treaty of Windsor in 1386. Portugal is a popular destination for businesses in tourism, property, financial services, and retirement planning. An estimated 50,000 expatriates live in Portugal, creating a natural demand for businesses with a local Portuguese presence.
For businesses, Portugal offers a growing economy, a welcoming business environment, and a consumer base that increasingly shops online and expects professional, local-language customer service.
The Southern European advantage
Portugal sits in the same time zone as your home country (WET/WEST), which is a significant operational advantage that no other Southern European market offers. Your your team can handle Portuguese calls during normal business hours without any time difference to manage.
CallFactory lets you manage Portuguese, your home country, and other European numbers from a single account, with consistent features and a unified platform. Your existing call routing and IVR configurations transfer directly.
If you also serve Spain, Brazil, or other Portuguese-speaking markets, a Portuguese number complements your international setup and positions your business across the Lusophone world.
Which Portuguese number is right for you?
Not sure which type to choose? Here is a quick guide.
800 numbers are toll-free for the caller, making them ideal for customer service and support lines. They signal that you take customer communication seriously and remove any cost barrier for Portuguese callers. Available with a worldwide address.
30 numbers are national numbers used by VoIP and virtual phone services, giving you a professional Portuguese presence without a city-specific area code. They require a verifiable Portuguese address.
707 numbers are standard rate numbers where call costs are capped at €0.10 per minute from fixed lines and €0.25 per minute from mobile networks. They are commonly used by businesses for information lines, booking services, and customer support where shared cost is appropriate. They require a verifiable Portuguese address.
How to display your Portuguese number
All Portuguese phone numbers are 9 digits with no trunk prefix. Portugal adopted a closed numbering plan in 1999, meaning the full 9-digit number is always dialled — there is no leading 0 to drop.
The country code is +351. For international advertising, use the format +351 800 XXX XXX for toll-free, +351 30X XXX XXX for national, or +351 707 XXX XXX for standard rate.
Domestically, callers simply dial the 9-digit number directly: 800 XXX XXX, 30X XXX XXX, or 707 XXX XXX.
This simple numbering system means there is no confusion about how to format or dial your Portuguese number — one format works everywhere.
How it works
When a customer in Portugal dials your Portuguese number, the call is routed through our network and forwarded to wherever you choose: your landline, a mobile, a VoIP system, or a team of agents through a phone menu.
The caller hears a local Portuguese ringtone and, if you like, a professional welcome message in Portuguese generated by our text-to-speech engine. There is no noticeable delay or quality loss — the call sounds like any other domestic Portuguese call.
On your end, you answer the call as normal, with a short beep or announcement letting you know it came in on your Portuguese line so you can greet the caller appropriately.
You can also set up time-based routing so calls during Portuguese business hours go to your team, while calls outside those hours go to voicemail or an alternative destination. Portugal shares the same time zone as your home country (WET/WEST), which means no scheduling complications.
A partner you can trust
We have been a specialist virtual number provider established in the Netherlands in 2000 with Dutch management.
We are not a reseller — we run our own IVR platform and phone network, which means superior audio quality, full control over features, and no middlemen. Start simple with basic call forwarding, and scale up when you are ready. Need a fully custom-built IVR flow, dedicated servers, or private API access? We can build that too.
We are registered as a telecom provider in 14 EU countries, so as your business grows across Europe you stay with one provider instead of juggling multiple vendors.
Built for businesses expanding to Portugal
A Portuguese phone number from CallFactory fits naturally into several common scenarios.
Tourism and hospitality businesses serving tourists in the Algarve, Lisbon, or Madeira can provide a local contact number for bookings, enquiries, and guest support.
Property and real estate companies working with your home country buyers investing in Portuguese property can offer a dedicated Portuguese line for viewings, legal coordination, and after-sales support.
Financial services firms serving expatriates or Portuguese clients can provide a local contact point for account management, compliance, and advisory services.

800 toll-free numbers are available with a worldwide address.
Both 30 national numbers and 707 standard rate numbers require a verifiable Portuguese address.
