Using Local Numbers, Mobile Numbers or SMS to contact Brazil

There are 3 different ways to contact Brazil using a VoIP enabled number. These are discussed below:

1. Local Landline Numbers - A virtual local landline number of a specific location. You can use it anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. This is ideal for remote work and international travel.
2. Mobile Number - A VoIP mobile for international calls is essentially a mobile phone app or device that uses Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology to make calls using the internet.
3. Text / SMS - VoIP text messages work by converting the text into digital data packets and transmitting them over the internet using a VoIP service provider. Having a virtual number will allow you to freely call or text Brazil, across time zones, using any device via an internet connection.

Virtual phone numbers are quick and easy to set up and can be forwarded to any phone. From a business point of view, a local landline number instantly imposes a feeling of presence in a specific geographic area, so setting one up, holds huge business advantages.
