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:
“Cole’s Hill was the scene of the secret night burials of those who died during the first year of the settlement. Corn was planted over their graves so that the Indians should not know how many of their number had perished.”
—For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
