Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need to add a '9' for mobile numbers?

In 2016, Brazil standardized its mobile numbering plan by adding the digit '9' to the beginning of all mobile numbers. This was done to increase the availability of new phone numbers. You must include this digit to connect to a mobile phone.

What is the cheapest way to call Brazil from Australia?

Using a prepaid phone card or a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service like the ones offered by Phone Card Choice is typically the most affordable way. These services offer much lower rates than direct dialing through major mobile or landline carriers.

Can I call a Brazilian toll-free number from Australia?

Generally, no. Brazilian toll-free numbers (starting with 0800) are usually not reachable from outside the country. You will need to find a standard local number for the company you wish to contact.

Do I need to dial the exit code (0011) if I use a phone card app?

It depends on the service. Many modern VoIP apps and services handle the exit code automatically. You can often start dialing with the country code (+55). However, if you are dialing from a landline using a calling card access number, you will likely still need to dial the full sequence.
