Brazil WhatsApp Number Format (+55) Guide

Brazilian mobile numbers normally use country code 55, a two-digit DDD and a nine-digit mobile number beginning with 9.

Brazilian mobile structure

For international use, Brazil uses country code +55. A mobile number normally contains a two-digit DDD area code followed by a nine-digit mobile subscriber number beginning with 9.

Example(11) 98765-4321 → +55 11 98765 4321 → 5511987654321

DDD and the ninth digit

Keep the two-digit DDD. Do not include domestic carrier-selection prefixes in an international WhatsApp lookup. The ninth digit is part of Brazilian mobile numbering and should be present when applicable.

Numbering reference: Anatel — Numeração.
