Reading a +55 number

• •Mobile or landline? The number can't tell you: mobiles and landlines start with the same digits in Brazil.
• •Landlines start with an area code, for example +55 11 XXXX-XXXX for São Paulo.
• •Premium rate if it starts with 50 or 90 after +55: never call these back.
• •Local time: 8:08 PM in Brasilia right now.

• •Don't call back a number you don't recognize. One-ring scams hang up after a ring or two so you return the call, which can add a per-minute charge on top of an international rate.
• •Caller ID can be faked. The code shown is not proof of where the caller really is.
• •Real callers leave a message. If it matters, they'll text, email or leave a voicemail. Otherwise, block the number.
