Why Mobiles Have 9 Digits
Brazil runs its own style of mobile numbering. Here is the part that matters.
The Extra '9'
Across most of Brazil, Sao Paulo and Rio included, mobile numbers carry 9 digits, and that opening digit is nearly always a 9.
No Carrier Codes
Calling from the USA, you do not dial the 2-digit carrier selection code (such as 21, 15, or 41) that Brazilians add for domestic calls.
