"Brazil is considered an advanced emerging economy. It has the eighth largest GDP in the world by both nominal and PPP measures. It is one of the world's major breadbaskets, being the largest producer of coffee for the last 150 years. It is classified as an upper-middle income economy by the World Bank and a newly industrialized country, with the largest share of global wealth in Latin America. Brazil is a regional power and sometimes considered a great or a middle power in international affairs. On account of its international recognition and influence, the country is subsequently classified as an emerging power and a potential superpower by several analysts. Its GDP (PPP) per capita was $15,919 in 2017 putting Brazil in the 77th position according to IMF data. Active in agricultural, mining, manufacturing and service sectors Brazil has a labor force of over 107 million (ranking 6th worldwide). Brazil's diversified economy includes agriculture, industry, and a wide range of services. Agriculture and allied sectors like forestry, logging and fishing accounted for 5.1% of the gross domestic product in 2007. Brazil is one of the largest producer of oranges, coffee, sugar cane, cassava and sisal, soybeans and papayas." - Wikipedia.

Before you start sending SMS messages to Brazil, there are a few things you need to take into consideration. Your from address (Sender ID) may be changed to a local number to provide optimal delivery to Brazilian networks. Additional restrictions in message content and format can be viewed in the table below.
It is a good idea to work with a sales advisor to ensure compliancy with all SMS regulations.

Data privacy |

|
Content of message |
SMS messages may not contain content:
Note: Brazil only supports a maximum of 157 characters per message (and not 160 characters, like most other countries). |
Sender ID is changed to a fixed shortcode such as 28908 or a local number to facilitate the successful delivery of messages.
Unicode: Unicode is not supported
Binary: Binary messages are not supported
Delivery Receipts: Delivery receipts are provided for all networks, however, in many instances, they are network receipts instead of handset receipts.
Concatenated Messages: Concatenated messages are not supported in the Oi network and will be limited to 153 characters for GSM-7 (67 for UTC-16).
Concatenated messages for the rest of the networks are supported but not guaranteed.
Destination Number Formatting: Number formatting for Brazil follows this pattern:
(Country Code =55), (2 Digits for Area Code), (8 or 9 Digits for the number).
Please note that area codes 25 and 26 are considered "reserved" and hence not have subscribers in them.
Mobile numbers can therefore only have the following format: +55 XX 9XXXX XXXX (country code + area code + subscriber number 9 digits)
Note that landlines are being converted to mobile numbers all the time, due to limitations in the mobile numbering plan. The porting information gets updated only once per month so there may be some delay in this information becoming current.
There are no additional content restrictions beyond those in our Service Usage Policy.
Note: It is important to abide by all restrictions imposed by the hosted country.
