Calling abroad from Brazil: the basics
Brazilian outbound calling is a portrait of the country's migration history. Heavy traffic runs to Portugal — by far the busiest destination, with Brazilian communities in Lisbon, Porto and the Algarve growing steadily since 2017 — and to Italy, where centuries of Italo-Brazilian heritage mean families in São Paulo, Curitiba and the south still keep up regular contact with relatives in Veneto, Lombardy and Sicily. Beyond that: large Brazilian communities in Florida, Massachusetts and New Jersey; the long-running Japanese-Brazilian dekassegui flow to Aichi and Shizuoka prefectures; growing populations in Ireland and the UK. Carriers Vivo, Claro, TIM and Oi all sell international bundles in reais, but cross-rate volatility and bundle structures make consistent pricing elusive.
Phonecall handles this from a browser. You sign in, see the rate to your destination in advance, and dial — the call uses your home or mobile internet, not the carrier's international voice route. Per-second billing matters here because Brazilian calling culture leans long: a Sunday afternoon catch-up with parents in Lisbon or grandparents in Treviso can easily run forty minutes, and the difference between per-second and per-minute rounding over a year of those calls is real money. Credit you load stays put, available next time you need it.
From Brazil, the heaviest outbound corridors are Portugal, the United States, Italy, Japan, Argentina and Paraguay. Brazil uses operator-selection codes (the carrier prefix between 0 and the country code) for international calls from fixed lines — Phonecall skips that entirely and accepts +-prefixed numbers as written. Country code +55 is for inbound.
What affects the cost of international calls from Brazil?
The cost per minute depends on the destination country, whether you call a mobile or landline, and carrier routing. Mobile and landline rates often differ. With Phonecall you see the exact per-minute rate before you call — no hidden markups. Select the country and number type and we show the current rate.

Frequently asked questions
What's the cheapest way to call Portugal from Brazil?
Calls between Brazil and Portugal are one of the busiest corridors in the Lusosphere, and Vivo, Claro and TIM all sell international packages aimed at it — but the per-minute price outside the package is high and the package locks credit to one country. A browser-based service like Phonecall publishes a per-second rate to Portuguese landlines and mobiles (MEO, NOS, Vodafone Portugal) and bills only the seconds you talk. The call leaves your laptop or phone over your home internet or mobile data, the recipient in Lisbon, Porto or Faro picks up on their normal phone, and the same credit can be used the same week for a call to Italy, the US or Japan.
Can I call my family in Japan from Brazil without buying a card?
Yes. The old international calling card model — buy a card at a banca, scratch off a code, dial a long access number — is largely obsolete for the Brazil–Japan route. Phonecall replaces it with a web account: you sign in once, top up via Stripe in dollars or your local card, and dial +81 followed by the Japanese number with the leading 0 dropped. The dekassegui community in Aichi, Shizuoka and Gunma takes calls from Brazil on regular SoftBank, NTT Docomo and au SIMs; no app is needed on the Japanese side. Rates and audio quality are typically better than the card route, and there's no expiry date on what you've topped up.
What internet speed do I need to call from Brazil?
1 Mbps is enough. Both Wi-Fi and mobile data work fine.
Can I use Phonecall on my mobile phone from Brazil?
Yes. Phonecall works in mobile browsers – no app download needed.
Are there peak/off-peak rates when calling from Brazil?
