What is the Brazil country code?
Everything you need to dial a Brazil number correctly from a UK phone.
+55
The Brazil country code is +55. Dialling from the UK? Use 0055 instead of the + — they do exactly the same thing.
How to dial a Brazil number from the UK
Dial 0055 + area code + local number for landlines, dropping the leading zero. Mobile numbers include an extra "9" before the subscriber number.
Example: São Paulo: 0055 11 + 8 or 9-digit number.
00 or +? Either works
Typing +55 (hold the 0 key on most phone keypads to get a +) is the international standard and works automatically wherever you're calling from. 0055 is the UK's own way of dialling out internationally — both reach exactly the same number.

What is the Brazil country code?
The Brazil country code is +55. When dialling from a UK phone, replace the + with 0055 instead.
Do I dial 00 or + to call Brazil from the UK?
Either works on most modern phones — typing "+" (hold 0 on most keypads) and the country code is the international standard and works automatically. The 00 prefix is the UK-specific way of dialling out internationally and does exactly the same thing.
Does this work for mobiles as well as landlines?
Dial 0055 + area code + local number for landlines, dropping the leading zero. Mobile numbers include an extra "9" before the subscriber number.
Is there a free way to call Brazil that doesn't need a dialling code at all?
Yes — WhatsApp, FaceTime and similar apps call over data instead of the phone network, so there's no country code to dial at all. They're free if the person you're calling also has internet, but aren't a substitute for reaching a landline or someone without a smartphone.
