Calling family is a New Year’s tradition in Brazil.
It’s customary to celebrate New Year’s Eve with the people you care about. But it’s not always possible to have everyone together to celebrate the holiday. For example, you could be in a crowd of two million people celebrating New Years at Times Square, but you’re missing your family in Brazil, who may be celebrating in a crowd of 2.4 million people at Copacabana beach. In Brazil, New Year’s is called Réveillon, and festivities are influenced by Afro-Brazilian customs. This includes wearing new clothes to bring good luck in the new year and releasing flowers, candles and notes into the sea before midnight. With a calling app, you can make international calls to Brazil so that you can stay connected on New Year’s, no matter where you are. Today’s technology is especially helpful during the holidays. So call your mom to wish her a “Happy New Year,” and use an affordable international calling service so you can talk anytime.How do you call Brazil from the USA?
