📍 Geographic Location of Roraima
Geographic Coverage and Administration
The +55 95 country and area code combination designates the state of Roraima, Brazil's northernmost state, bordering Venezuela and Guyana. Administratively, the code falls under the Brazilian National Telecommunications Agency (ANATEL) and is assigned to the state's geographic numbering plan. The code covers the entire state, including its capital, Boa Vista, and all municipalities such as Rorainópolis, Caracaraí, and Pacaraima. Roraima is unique for being the only Brazilian state entirely north of the Equator, and its remote location influences telecommunications infrastructure and call routing.
Dialing Formats and Usage
For local calls within the same area code, Brazilian users typically dial only the eight-digit subscriber number (e.g., 3621-0000). However, for calls from other Brazilian states or from abroad, the full international format is required: +55 95 followed by the eight-digit landline number or the nine-digit mobile number (for mobiles, the number begins with 9, e.g., +55 95 99123-4567). When calling from a mobile phone within Brazil to a Roraima number, users must dial 0 + operator code + 95 + number, but with the growth of VoIP and mobile telephony, direct dialing using +55 95 is increasingly common.
Overlay and Numbering Considerations
Roraima does not currently have an overlay code; 95 remains the sole area code for the state. However, as demand grows, ANATEL may introduce additional codes. For callers, it is essential to note that mobile numbers in Brazil are always nine digits, starting with 9, while landlines are eight digits. This distinction is crucial for correct dialing. Additionally, number portability allows users to retain their numbers when switching operators, but the geographic code remains tied to the original state, meaning a number with 95 will always be associated with Roraima, even if the user moves elsewhere.
Caller Instructions
For international callers, dial the international access prefix (e.g., 011 from the US) followed by 55, then 95, and the local number. For example, to call a landline in Boa Vista from the US, dial 011 55 95 3621-0000. For mobile, dial 011 55 95 99123-4567. Brazilian callers outside Roraima should use 0 + operator code (e.g., 15 for Vivo) + 95 + number, or simply +55 95 if using a mobile with direct international dialing. Always verify the number length: eight digits for fixed lines, nine for mobile.
