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
