Country code Brazil, +55 or 0055?

There are two spellings for the Brazil area code, namely +55 and 0055. Which area code do you have to use? What is the difference between the two country codes for Brazil and what are the different versions for?

The country code of Brazil that starts with a “+” (i.e. +55) is the so-called international code (international spelling). It is primarily used in the mobile communications sector. Most cell phones can make an international call to Brazil using the +55 area code. This applies to almost every country in the world.

Unfortunately, there are phones (especially older models) that do not support the international spelling. The area code Brazil with leading zeros (0055) is then used on these phones. The leading zeros are also referred to as the so-called traffic elimination number. When you call, they indicate that it is an international call.

Problem: Access code and area code 0055

In fact, the 0055 variant applies to calls to Brazil, especially in Europe. In other countries of the world, the international code 0055 will not work. Example: In the USA, international calls to Brazil begin with 011. An international call here begins with the area code 01155.

Conclusion

For calls from UK to Brazil you can always use the country code 0055. In other countries, the two leading zeros must be replaced by a different access code. The international variant (+55) of the country code for Brazil works in all countries in the world. However, it is not supported in all networks and by all telephone devices.
