Calling abroad from Brazil
To call another country from a Brazil landline, start with the exit code 00(?:1[245]|2[1-35]|31|4[13]|[56]5|99), then the destination country code. On a mobile phone, holding 0 to type + works everywhere and replaces the exit code.
Missed call from +55?
If you don’t know anyone in Brazil, be careful with short missed calls from international numbers. “One-ring” scams hope you call back a premium-rate line. Don’t return the call, don’t share codes sent by SMS, and block the number if it keeps calling. A genuine contact will usually leave a message or text.
