"Yes sir I believe we can handle that, and that's not a problem at all, okay, so long. Hi everyone, my name is Russ Handler, and did you know while dialing internationally out of the United States you actually have to dial four separate numbers. That's right, so let's say you want to dial Brazil. Here's how you do that. First of all you dial zero one one, that tells the operator you want to get out of the country. The country code is then five five for Brazil, then there's a city code and a number code. So let's say you want to dial Brazil. Zero one one five five, the city code, let's say for instance you want to call Rio de Janeiro, let's say it's forty-one for the city code, and then the number five five five nine six two, nine six three two one. It's that simple, now, Brazil does have a pretty dramatically adequate communication system comprising of satellites as well as submarine cabling. Most of the rural areas do have cell phone service, but landline service is in some cases limited, so keep that in mind. I'm Russ Handler, and that's how you call Brazil."
