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:
“I had a feeling that out there, there were very poor people who didn’t have enough to eat. But they wore wonderfully colored rags and did musical numbers up and down the streets together.”
—Jill Robinson (b. 1936)
