Questions people ask
Which country has the code +55?
+55 is the dialling code for Brazil.
Is +55 the same as 0055 or 011 55?
Yes. The plus sign stands for whatever exit code your phone network uses: 00 in the UK and most of the world, 011 in the US and Canada. A mobile phone converts + automatically, so saving numbers as +55 makes them work from any country.
How do I write a phone number from Brazil in international format?
Start with +55, then the number without its leading 0. For example (11) 96123-4567 becomes +55 11 96123 4567, or +5511961234567 with no spaces (E.164 format, the form apps and forms usually want).
What is the exit code in Brazil?
To call abroad from a landline in Brazil, dial 0012 (one common choice: the code can depend on the carrier), then the country code and number. On a mobile, + works everywhere.
I got a missed call from +55. Should I call back?
Only if you know someone there. Unexpected one-ring calls from abroad are a known scam ("wangiri"): calling back can connect you to a premium-rate line. Search the number first, or paste it into the callmins country-code lookup to see where it's from and whether it's a mobile or landline.
