Brazilian cell phone number. Mobile Internet in Brazil. How to call from Brazil to Russia

When going on a trip, you can not leave the issue of cellular communications in the end, as you can go broke. Today we will consider the proposals of local, Russian, international operators and choose the best option.

Offers of local mobile operators in Brazil

There are several companies in Brazil that offer prepaid (contract) mobile phone services:

Nextel
TIM
Oi
Claro
Vivo

But if you are going to this country for a week or two and are not going to move here, the question is whether it is worth spending money on a local SIM card. After all, the prices for calls to Russia are quite high, in addition, Internet tariffs cannot be called affordable either. What else stops tourists from using local SIM cards? Many companies require documents and registration, but this is not suitable for everyone, you don’t want to waste time. But if you still chose the option of buying a local SIM card, we advise you to connect service packages (to the Internet, calls, messages). This will work out a little cheaper. For example, the mobile operator TIM offers to connect a package of messages and the Internet. You choose your own expiration dates. You can connect for one day or for a month.

As for mobile Internet, two types are offered:

For tablet.
For smartphone.

But the number of megabytes is small - a maximum of 100-150 per day. For three reals, a tourist can get 150 MB of Internet for his tablet if he buys a Vivo SIM card.

The TIM operator offers 80 MB per day for 2 reales, Oi charges 50 MB for the same amount. But if you connect a package of 100 MB or more, you will get free access to the operator's Wi-Fi points. As you can see, using local operators is expensive and unprofitable, especially when it comes to calls to Russia. What then remains for a tourist who does not have such a large budget and needs to save a lot?

Offers of Globalsim and other mobile operators

Mobile operator Globalsim offers favorable tariffs for tourists on mobile communications and the Internet in Brazil.

• Incoming calls are free.
• Outgoing - $0.59 per minute.

You can call 140 countries. But for this you need your interlocutor to have a SIM card of this operator. At the same time, for incoming calls, basically, you do not need to pay. Note that if you wish, you can forward the Russian number absolutely free of charge. This will save your interlocutor from having to constantly carry a phone with an Estonian SIM card.

Also, there is a new special option: per-minute billing for calls from a GlobalSim SIM card to Viber has been cancelled. Now the cost of a call from Brazil will be only $0.59, regardless of the duration of the call. All that is required of you is to dial a number in the format 00007********** or +007********** and your interlocutor must have the Viber application installed.
In addition, each subscriber can connect the necessary amount of high-speed traffic.

Rate SmartData 1 GB for $19 and SmartData 2 GB for $35. Packages are valid for 30 days from the moment of connection and, if necessary, packages can be extended.

Beeline offers Internet at a price of 90 rubles per 1 megabyte. You can also use the services of Russian operators, but in this case the price for the Internet will increase:

For 1 MB of mobile traffic from MTS, you will have to pay 240 rubles.
Megafon offers traffic at a price of 166 rubles / megabyte.
Comfort Way for 147 rubles per MB.
Mobile Internet from the Tele2 operator - 50 rubles per MB.

As you can see, of all the options presented, it is best to choose Globalsim. After all, a SIM card can be used in 140 countries. For active travelers who plan to travel a lot around the world and optimize roaming costs, this is the best way. There is no need to suffer with activation and contract, everything is easy and simple and will not take much time.

The structure of the Brazilian mobile communications market is similar to the Russian one - there are also four operators, of which three are recognized leaders (TIM, Vivo, Claro), and the fourth (Oi) competes very successfully with them due to the low cost of its tariffs.

As for the quality of reception, most of the country's territory is occupied by the jungle, which is not covered by towers: a stable signal is only on the coast and in large cities. When flying and leaving settlements, it disappears after 50-70 km, be prepared for this.

Where is the best place to buy a SIM card

You can solve the problem with communication immediately by connecting at the operator's desk at the airport. Also, nothing prevents you from buying a SIM card in any store selling all sorts of things - there are enough of them here, and everyone is a dealer. But keep in mind that a non-resident of Brazil can register a package and start using the services only upon providing a passport in an official mobile phone store.

With English language here is the trouble, but, fortunately, on the packaging of tourist tariffs, all the information is duplicated on it, so it’s quite easy to figure it out. The cost of SIM cards is 50-60 reais (about 1000 rubles), which, you see, is a lot.

Mobile tariffs for tourists

At the moment, the best travel rates in the country are offered by the largest operators Claro and TIM.

Visitor from TIM:

• the price of the card is 50 reais;
• calls to Russia - about 1 real per minute (18 rubles).

Visitors from Clara:

• card price - 60 reais;
• the cost of calls to Russia - no billing, the package "protected" 21 minutes of conversation and 40 SMS messages.

Given that the average cost of calls in roaming costs about 140-160 rubles. per minute, these offers can be considered quite profitable.

How to call Brazil from Russia

The country code is 55, it should be dialed before the cell number if the subscriber has purchased a local SIM card. If the subscriber uses services in roaming, then the call takes place in the operator's network. Also, if you plan to call landline phone, use the prefixes of the country and the locality you need.

To mobile phone

Set examples:

• +55-ХХХ-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ (if the SIM card of a local operator is activated);
• 8-ХХХ-ХХХ-ХХ-ХХ (if the subscriber uses services in roaming).

To a landline phone

To call, for example, to the capital, dial:

• 8 (beep) 10, then 61 (Brazilia code), then 2 and XXXXXXXX (end number). Accordingly, to call to other cities on a landline phone, substitute the code of the desired locality.

Codes of major cities of the country:

• Brasilia - 61;
• Rio de Janeiro - 21;
• Salvador - 71;
• Sao Paulo - 11.

How to call Russia from Brazil

To make a call, you will need to dial 00 to reach international communication, country code (in Russia it is "seven"), as well as the prefix of the settlement.

To mobile phone

Since you are calling a mobile that is in the network of Russian operators, a direct call occurs:

• +7-XXX-XXX-XX-XX.

To a landline phone

First dial the code to access the international communication center - 00, then 7 and the prefix of the settlement. The subscriber's phone number is at the end.

Articles and Lifehacks

Unfortunately, not every domestic tourist can afford a trip to Brazil, however, those whose cherished dream still comes true find themselves in a real fairy tale. How can I contact friends or relatives who are there? ? To correctly dial another subscriber, you should know a few simple rules. It is also useful to clarify how feasible it is to make international calls cheaper.

How to call Brazil from Russia

To reach somewhere, you need to know how. If we are talking about international calls, there is no way to do without the code of the state to whose territory they will call. When calling to a cell phone, the following input sequence is provided:
+55 number.

If a person can only reach another person using a Brazilian landline number, but can only call from a cell phone:
+55-city code-number.

Obviously, this is not very profitable, and therefore it is better that a landline phone is still used for calls to a landline. The correct dialing order in this case would look like this:
81055-city code-number.

Each call to a subscriber located in Brazil involves a large financial cost. In this regard, you should decide not only how to call from Russia to Brazil, but also find out alternative communication options. They will significantly reduce the cost of outgoing calls.

How to save money on calls from Russia to Brazil

To do this, you should pay attention to one of the many resources that offer IP-telephony services. For example, such a service is UcallWeconn.net. Just 5 minutes after the end of registration, you can try to make the first call to the territory of Brazil. When a call is made, it is redistributed among several VOIP operators, however, the priority remains for the one who offers the most favorable tariffs for this direction. In addition to software IP-telephony, there is a hardware one, which requires a special VOIP-device with support for the SIP protocol. Of course, software or computer telephony remains the most convenient, thanks to which registered users can make calls to Brazil completely free of charge. A service such as getting a direct number is also provided.

If the person you're about to contact uses Skype, it's best to add them to your contact list and make free voice or video calls to them. By the way, via Skype you can also call the most common phone numbers, but this will be paid for in a separate order.

A foreigner can buy and activate a SIM card only at the operator's post offices with the presentation of the original foreign passport. And given the fact that almost no one speaks English in Brazil, tourists experience difficulties in the process of activating and using local mobile communications and the Internet. That is why some operators have developed special packages aimed at people with a short stay in Brazil.

Because I have phones of both operators and I have been working with them for quite a long time, then according to my feelings as a user, TIM is a more convenient and attractive operator, so further on I will mainly describe working with this company.
