ligar para o número 190


Explanation:
I am not sure which is correct, "ligar para 190" or "ligar para o 190".... I was unable to find grammar explanations for these case! But I would suggest to add "número", just to be on the safe side.



Example sentence(s):
  • As pessoas devem tentar se proteger e telefonar o mais rápido possível para o número 190.
