Brazilian Carrier Selection Code

To dial a long-distance number within Brazil, one needs to use a carrier selection code, in order to choose which long-distance carrier will be used. The carrier selection code is specified before the area code; so, to actually place a call, one should dial 0-xx-aa-nnnn-nnnn , where xx is the two-digit carrier selection code. Because of that, sometimes long-distance phone numbers are written down as (0 xxaa) nnnn-nnnn , with two actual letters x as placeholders, which the caller will replace by a carrier code.For example, to call the number 2222-2222 in Fortaleza (area code 85 ) using the long-distance carrier Oi (selection code 31 ), one would dial 0 31 85 2222 2222. The use of carrier selection codes can be very confusing, because of the obvious added complexity, the different rates charged by different carriers, and even which long-distance carriers can be to place the call, since not all of them service the entire Brazilian territory, and some are only available from mobile or from VoIP lines. For example, Embratel (selection code 21 ) is available from any telephone line in all of Brazil, but Sercomtel (code 43 ) only in the cities of Londrina and Tamarana (and some neighbouring cities). ANATEL's had a useful on-line system (in Portuguese) where the standard rates of all available carriers could be compared for the particular long-distance call one wants to place, but it was cancelled by 2013 March.
