Brazil Phone Number / VoIP FAQ's
What is a Brazilian virtual phone number?
A Brazilian virtual phone number is a phone number that, while associated with the Brazilian dialing code, can be used to receive calls anywhere in the world. These numbers are programmed to forward incoming calls to one of the pre-set telephone numbers chosen by the client, such as your office or mobile phone, regardless of your location.
How can I record calls with my Brazilian virtual phone number?
With our cloud phone system, you can utilize the Call Recorder module to record calls, including those made via SIP Account and External Line contact methods. The recorded calls can be sent to a specified email address, a file server, or a third-party cloud account. This feature can be very useful for businesses for quality control or legal purposes.
Can I set up an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system with my Brazilian virtual phone number?
Yes, our cloud PBX allows you to set up an IVR system, also known as a call menu. This system allows callers to interact with your phone system via the telephone keypad, directing them to various destinations based on their keypress choices.
How can I manage my business hours with my Brazilian virtual phone number?
Our cloud phone system includes a feature called time-based routing. This allows you to route calls based on the time of day, so you could send calls to voicemail after hours or route calls to a different person on weekends. This can be particularly useful for managing incoming calls according to your business hours in Brazil.
How can I ensure the security of my VoIP calls with a Brazilian virtual phone number?
VoIP security is a crucial aspect to consider when using virtual phone numbers. There are several strategies to secure your VoIP calls, including using strong passwords, encrypting calls, and regularly updating your software. For a more detailed discussion on VoIP security, you can read our blog post on Understanding and Combating SIP-based VoIP Abuse.
What are the benefits of using a Brazilian virtual phone number for my business?
Employing a Brazilian virtual phone number can offer a multitude of advantages for businesses, particularly those targeting customers in Brazil. It establishes a local presence for your business, fostering trust and engagement among your Brazilian clientele. For a deeper understanding of the benefits of virtual phone numbers, you might find our blog post on Entrepreneurs and the SIP protocol insightful.
How can I customize the incoming caller ID for effective call management with my Brazilian virtual phone number?
One of the standout features of our cloud phone system is the ability to edit the caller-ID for the phone receiving the FlyNumber calls. This comes in handy when you need to distinguish between calls coming in from different phone numbers. For more information on this feature, you can read our blog post on how to customize incoming caller ID .
What are the differences between local, national, and mobile numbers in Brazil?
In Brazil, local, national, and mobile numbers each serve a unique purpose. Local numbers are specific to a certain geographic area or city, allowing callers within the same area to reach you without dialing the country code. National numbers, on the other hand, can be dialed from anywhere within Brazil without the need for a local area code. Mobile numbers begin with a specific digit and can be dialed from any location.
How does call forwarding work with my Brazilian virtual phone number?
Call forwarding allows you to direct calls from your Brazilian virtual number to any device or location of your choosing. This can be another phone number, a VoIP/SIP address, or even a call handling system. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that operate in multiple locations or for individuals who travel frequently.

Technical info on Brazilian phone numbers
- Country Code:
- Brazil's country code is +55. This code must be dialed before the area code and the local phone number when calling Brazil from abroad.
- Area Codes (DDD - Direct Distance Dialing):
- Area codes in Brazil are two-digit numbers that identify a specific region or city within the country. There are currently 67 area codes in Brazil, ranging from 11 to 99. Major cities like São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Brasília have their own area codes (11, 21, and 61, respectively).
- Local Phone Numbers:
- Brazilian local phone numbers typically have 8 or 9 digits. Fixed landlines usually have 8-digit numbers, while mobile phone numbers have 9 digits. The first digit of a mobile phone number starts with the digit '9'.
- Formatting:
- When representing Brazilian phone numbers in writing, they are often formatted as follows:
- Fixed landline:
- (AA) XXXX-XXXX
- Mobile phone:
- (AA) 9XXXX-XXXX
- Here, "AA" represents the 2-digit area code, and "X" represents the local phone number digits.
- International Dialing Format:
- To dial a Brazilian phone number from abroad, you need to follow this format: +55 AA XXXX-XXXX (for landlines) or +55 AA 9XXXX-XXXX (for mobile phones).
- Domestic Dialing:
- When calling within Brazil, you may need to use the "0" trunk code, followed by a carrier selection code (CSP), the area code, and then the local phone number. The format would look like this: 0CSP-AA-XXXX-XXXX (for landlines) or 0CSP-AA-9XXXX-XXXX (for mobile phones).
