Editing List of dialling codes in Brazil

'''[[Trunk Prefix]]: 0 then Carrier Code'''

This article contains a '''list of [[area code]]s in [[Brazil]]''' for telephone dialing. The area codes are distributed geographically, citing the main cities in each area.

Local phone numbers in Brazil observe an eight-digit pattern (''dddd-dddd'') for [[landline]]s and nine digits (''dddd-ddddd'') for [[mobile phone]]s. Mobile numbers share the same geographic area codes as landlines, but the first digit differentiates them. Landline numbers start with digits ''2'' through ''5''. Initial digits ''6'' through ''9'' are reserved for mobile numbers, but as of 2017 all mobile numbers in Brazil start with the digit ''9''. (There is an exception for some [[iDEN]] mobile lines operated by [[NII Holdings|Nextel]], which are eight digits long and start with ''7'' and  disestablished in 2018.)

Area codes have two digits, and are often notated between parentheses: ''(aa) nnnn-nnnn''. For [[long-distance call]]s '''within''' Brazil, a zero (''0'') must be dialed first, then a carrier selection code (for example, ''21'' for [[Embratel]] and ''41'' for [[TIM Brasil]]), then the two-digit area code, then the local number. For example, to call the number ''2222-2222'' in [[Fortaleza]] (area code ''85'') using [[Oi (telecommunications)|Oi]] (selection code ''31'') as the chosen carrier, one would dial '''0 31 85 2222 2222'''.

For [[international call]]s '''to''' Brazil, the international access code used in the calling country must be dialed (for example, ''011'' from the [[United States]] and [[Canada]], ''00'' from [[Europe]] and most other countries, or the actual "+" sign from some mobile networks), then Brazil's country code '''55''', then the two-digit area code, then the local eight- or nine-digit number. For example, to call the number ''3333-3333'' in [[Rio de Janeiro]] (area code ''21'') from Europe, one would dial '''00 55 21 3333 3333'''.

==Exceptions==

In a few exceptional cases, some area codes span state borders to cater for tightly integrated interstate communities:

*Two villages straddle the Preto river on the [[Minas Gerais]]&ndash;[[Rio de Janeiro (state)|Rio de Janeiro]] state border. So, the village of Maringá (not to be confused with the [[Maringá|homonymous large city]] in the State of [[Paraná (state)|Paraná]]) lies partly in the Rio de Janeiro municipality of [[Itatiaia]] and partly in the Minas Gerais municipality of [[Bocaina de Minas]], while the village of Porto das Flores is divided between the municipalities of [[Rio das Flores]] (Rio de Janeiro) and [[Belmiro Braga]] (Minas Gerais). Both sides of these villages use the Rio de Janeiro area code '''25'''. Outside these villages, their respective Minas Gerais municipalities use the proper regional area code '''32'''.
*Two border cities in the State of [[Paraná (state)|Paraná]] are contiguous with larger cities in [[Santa Catarina (state)|Santa Catarina]] and use area codes from the latter state: [[Rio Negro, Paraná|Rio Negro]] (contiguous with [[Mafra, Santa Catarina|Mafra]]) uses area code '''48''', and [[Barracão, Paraná|Barracão]] (contiguous with [[Dionísio Cerqueira]]) uses area code '''49'''.
*Conversely, the border city of [[Porto União]] in the State of [[Santa Catarina (state)|Santa Catarina]] is contiguous with the larger [[Paraná (state)|Paraná]] city of [[União da Vitória]] and uses the latter state's area code '''42'''.
*The cities of [[Barão de Grajaú]] and [[Alto Parnaíba]], in the State of [[Maranhão]], are respectively conurbated with [[Floriano, Piauí|Floriano]] and [[Santa Filomena, Piauí|Santa Filomena]], in the State of [[Piauí]], and use the latter state's area code '''89''' for landlines. Most local mobile phones in Alto Parnaíba, though, use Southern Maranhão area code '''99'''. Also in Maranhão, the city of [[Timon, Maranhão|Timon]], which is next to the Piauí capital city of [[Teresina]], formerly used northern Piauí area code '''86''', but now it uses the Maranhão area code '''99'''.
*Area code '''61''' primarily serves the [[Federal District (Brazil)|Federal District]] (comprising the national capital city, [[Brasília]]), but it also serves some surrounding municipalities in the State of  [[Goiás]], such as [[Formosa, Goiás|Formosa]], [[Valparaíso de Goiás]] and [[Luziânia]]. Formerly, area code 61 was even larger and used to include northwestern [[Minas Gerais]] ([[Unaí]], [[Paracatu, Minas Gerais|Paracatu]]), now in that state's area code '''38'''.
* Until the 1990s, the city of [[Paranaíba]], in the state of [[Mato Grosso do Sul]] and served by Companhia Telefônica do Brasil Central (now [[Algar Telecom]]) used the code '''176'''. Today, this city, like the others in this state, use the area code '''67'''. Until 1997, the city of [[Fronteira, Minas Gerais|Fronteira]] was connected to the network of the municipality of [[Icém]], which used the code '''172''', and this year the network was transferred to Companhia Telefônica do Brasil Central and started to use the area code '''34'''.
