How to Say Phone Numbers and Addresses in Portuguese
Use clear number groups to give an address, share a phone number, and check details when two digits sound alike.

The short answer
When you share a phone number, say the digits slowly and pause at natural group boundaries. There is no need to force one grouping if the other person prefers to enter the number digit by digit. If they look unsure, offer to repeat the final group or write it down.
Say a phone number one group at a time
The number names from zero to nine are zero, um, dois, três, quatro, cinco, seis, sete, oito, and nove. Use native audio to practice the sounds, especially when a connection is noisy or the person is taking notes.
Meu telefone termina em três, sete, zero.
My phone number ends in three, seven, zero.
Pode anotar os números em grupos?
Could you write the numbers down in groups?
Vou falar cada dígito devagar.
I’ll say each digit slowly.
Give a street address with its number
A simple address frame is O endereço é… (The address is…). Say the street name first and the building number after it. For example, Rua das Flores, cento e vinte gives the listener a street and a number to enter into a map.
Brazilian number names join tens and units with e: cento e vinte e cinco is 125. For a building number, use the cardinal number as part of the address; do not turn it into an ordinal unless you are naming a floor or position.
O endereço é Rua das Flores, cento e vinte.
The address is 120 Rua das Flores.
A casa fica no número quarenta e oito.
The house is number 48.
Meu apartamento é o número trinta e dois.
My apartment is number 32.
Confirm digits that are easy to mishear
Numbers such as quinze and cinquenta can be difficult to distinguish in a fast exchange. Repeat what you heard as a short confirmation question. The other person can correct one part without having to give the whole number again.
You can also ask the person to read back the number they wrote. This is especially useful for a hotel room, appointment, delivery address, or contact detail. A brief check can catch a digit that was missed the first time.
Você falou quinze ou cinquenta?
Did you say fifteen or fifty?
Pode repetir os três últimos números?
Could you repeat the last three digits?
Deixa eu confirmar: é cento e vinte e cinco?
Let me confirm: is it 125?
Use a short script for contact details
Practice using a made-up example instead of sharing a private number while you study. Give the number, pause, and ask the listener to confirm it. If a spelling is involved too, use the Portuguese alphabet guide to spell names and email addresses one part at a time.
The I Speak Portuguese source guide covers number patterns from zero to one hundred. This Real Life adaptation applies those number names to phone and address details, with a focus on clarity and read-back. Listen to native Brazilian audio, then role-play both sides of the exchange.
Meu número é este. Pode confirmar para mim?
Here is my number. Could you confirm it for me?
O endereço está certo: Rua das Flores, cento e vinte?
Is the address correct: 120 Rua das Flores?
Vou mandar a localização para você também.
I’ll send you the location too.
Put it into practice
Practice with a made-up phone number and a made-up street address. Say each number clearly, pause at a group boundary, and ask the other person to read it back.
