Number Portability
Beginning September 2008, ANATEL has started the use of number portability in Brazilian territory, but the current rules of the numbering plan have been kept. Fixed-line customers can keep their numbers when moving their address and/or when switching telephone companies, provided they stay within the same local area (i.e., the portion of the area code where calls are charged as local).

Famous quotes containing the word number:
“Computers are good at swift, accurate computation and at storing great masses of information. The brain, on the other hand, is not as efficient a number cruncher and its memory is often highly fallible; a basic inexactness is built into its design. The brain’s strong point is its flexibility. It is unsurpassed at making shrewd guesses and at grasping the total meaning of information presented to it.”
—Jeremy Campbell (b. 1931)
