Non-geographic Numbers
Non-geographic numbers have a three-digit prefix and a seven-digit number. They are usually represented as if the leading 0 prefix were part of the three-digit prefix (like with long-distance numbers), resulting in the format 0ppp-nnn-nnnn. Some 0800 numbers are 6-digit only, For example CELESC (Centrais Elétricas de Santa Catarina) has 0800-480-196
The currently allocated prefixes are:
- 0300: local-rate calls
- 0303: televoting, charged at local rate
- 0500: premium-rate telephone numbers for charity donations, with a maximum of R$ 30.00 per donation (the telephone number is assigned to a donation value) + R$ 0.50 for call costs.
- 0800: toll-free telephone numbers
- 0900: premium-rate telephone numbers

Famous quotes containing the word numbers:
“... there are persons who seem to have overcome obstacles and by character and perseverance to have risen to the top. But we have no record of the numbers of able persons who fall by the wayside, persons who, with enough encouragement and opportunity, might make great contributions.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
