0 + your operator code + area code + landline or cell phone number

Don't know your carrier code? See:

• CTBC/Algar: 12
• Vivo/Telefonica/GVT: 15 (25, from GVT, is no longer used since the operator is now part of Vivo)
• Claro/NET/Embratel: 21
• Hey: 31 (if you are in the South region, the code is 14)
• TIM: 41
• Sercomtel: 43
• Nextel: 99

It is important for you to know that the DDD corresponds to the location where the telephone number is registered and not to the location of the cell phone.
