Mind the language too: Brazilians speak Portuguese, not Spanish. It is one of the most restrictive countries on the list. For a landline as for a mobile, the application relies on the CNPJ, the registration number of Brazilian companies, and on an address in Brazil. In practice, you need an entity registered in Brazil. The documents themselves are simple: a commercial register extract, proof of a Brazilian address and the CNPJ number, entered with no document to attach. ## Country code and number format - **Local (landline) **: +55 +55, then the 2-digit area code (DDD) and an 8-digit number starting with 2 to 5. 11 São Paulo, 21 Rio de Janeiro, 61 Brasília. Example: +55 11 3123 4567. - **Mobile **: +55 +55, the 2-digit area code, then 9 digits starting with 9. Example: +55 11 91234 5678. ## What you need to know ### The CNPJ The Cadastro Nacional da Pessoa Jurídica, kept by the Receita Federal (the federal tax authority), identifies each company with 14 characters (00.000.000/0000-00). Since July 2026, new registrations may receive an alphanumeric CNPJ, still 14 characters long; existing CNPJs remain valid. ### The ninth mobile digit Anatel, the Brazilian telecoms regulator, added a 9 in front of every mobile number, state by state, between 2012 and 2016. A mobile number therefore has 9 digits after the area code, a landline 8. ### Pick the right area code The area code (DDD) is always 2 digits: 11 for São Paulo, 21 for Rio de Janeiro, 61 for Brasília. Choose the one for the city where your prospects are. ## Call prospects in Brazil with a local number Skipcall assigns the local number and your teams call from the browser or the mobile app, with a number your prospects recognise.
