How do you dial a telephone call from Brazil to Japan?

Answer 1

Brazil is telephone country code +55. The area code is 2 digits. Most subscriber numbers are 8 digits, but there are some 9-digit subscriber numbers for mobile phones from Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states (area codes 11 through 26).

Calling on a mobile phone (cell phone), dial +55 (including the plus symbol), followed by the 10- or 11-digit Brazilian number.

Calling on a landline or fax, dial 011 55 followed by the Brazilian number.

Answer 2

If you are calling on a mobile phone, just prefix the 10-digit US number with telephone country code +1 (including the plus symbol).

If you are calling on a landline phone, replace the plus symbol with the appropriate international access prefix for the long distance company you wish to use for this call. The international access prefix is of the form 00xx, with the last two digits selecting the long distance company. For example, the code 0012 selects CTBC, but 0014 selects Brasil Telecom. There are several other possible choices.

Answer 3

The telephone country code for Japan is +81, and you must drop the trunk prefix 0 from the beginning of the Japanese domestic telephone number. For example, Tokyo's area code 03 becomes +81 3.

If you are calling on a mobile phone, just enter the number in international format, beginning with +81 (including the plus symbol).

Otherwise, substitute the appropriate Brazilian international access prefix for the plus symbol. The international access prefix for calls from Brazil is 00, FOLLOWED BY a two-digit carrier selection code, to choose the long distance company that will handle the call. You must dial 00xx 81, not just 0081.
