Send SMS to Brazil online
São Paulo, Brazil's largest city, is a hub for small businesses like cafes, gyms, and repair shops. Schools, clinics, and delivery services in Brazil frequently send text messages to their customers. They might text parents about school events, patients about test results, or customers about delivery updates. Texts are ideal here because they are universally accessible, require no apps, and are read quickly even by busy people.

Phone number format in Brazil
Brazilian mobiles are +55, a two-digit area code (DDD), a 9 and eight more digits, like +55 11 96123 4567. Paste them with +55 and the area code; the 0 and the carrier code some people dial at home are not needed.
Alphabet and message length
Texts in Portuguese stay at 160 characters per segment until they use á, â, ã, ç, ê, í, ó, ô, õ and ú. Those letters are not in GSM-7, so the message becomes Unicode with 70 characters per segment (67 per part). Short reminders written without them stay in one segment, and the composer names each letter that changed the count.
Main languages: Portuguese.
Best time to send to Brazil
Brazil has more than one time zone, from UTC-5 in Eirunepe to UTC-2 in Noronha in January. A campaign scheduled for 10:00 in Sao Paulo reaches other regions earlier or later, so for local reminders split the list by region and schedule each part for its own morning.
