📍 Geographic Location of Acre
Geographic Overview
The +55 68 area code is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the state of Acre in Brazil. Acre is located in the western Amazon region, bordering Peru and Bolivia. The code covers the entire state, including its capital, Rio Branco, and other municipalities such as Cruzeiro do Sul, Sena Madureira, and Tarauacá. As a geographic code, it routes calls to fixed lines (PSTN) and some VoIP services registered in the region.
Dialing Formats
For local calls within Acre (same area code), dial only the 8-digit subscriber number. For example, to call a fixed line in Rio Branco with number 3221-1234, dial 3221-1234.
For national long-distance calls from other Brazilian states, dial the intercity prefix 0 + the carrier code (e.g., 15 for Vivo, 21 for Embratel) + 68 + the 8-digit number. Example: 0 15 68 3221-1234.
For international calls to Acre from abroad, dial the Brazilian country code +55, then the area code 68, followed by the 8-digit subscriber number. Example: +55 68 3221-1234.
Mobile Services
Mobile numbers in Brazil always begin with the digit '9' and are 9 digits long. In Acre, mobile numbers also use the 68 area code, but they are non-geographic in nature—they are assigned to mobile operators and can be ported to other regions. To call a mobile in Acre from abroad, dial +55 68 9XXXX-XXXX.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Currently, there is no overlay code for Acre; 68 is the sole area code for the state. However, due to the growth of mobile and fixed services, the National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL) may implement additional measures in the future. Always verify the number length and prefix when dialing to ensure accuracy.
Caller Instructions
When calling from outside Brazil, remember to replace the trunk prefix '0' with the international access code of your country, then dial 55 (Brazil) and 68 (Acre). For calls within Brazil, you must include the carrier selection code (e.g., 15, 21) when dialing from a different area code. For local calls, omit the area code entirely.
