Cell phone plans do exist
[QUOTE=Bravo]Cell phones have been available to the average brasilians for what, about 10 years now? Why dont they have call plans in rio they way they do in the states? Why cant Claro, Tim, Oi, VIVO all have plans where you have free nights and weekends. I am spending fortune in minutes because NONE of the girls can keep credits on thier phone, so they all call collect. After 10 plus years, there is no reason why they cant have better cell phone service in rio. I jjust dont understand.[/QUOTE]
Most plans are only on a yearly basis for residents with proof of residence, income etc.
BUT
every phone company has some pre-paid perk. But the trick is: you have to sign up for it to earn it.
Tim has:
pay only first minute of a call to Tim or landline phone, about 25 or 50 cents, and talk as long as you want
Vivo has
load a cell phone card and earn hundreds of free minutes to Vivo (or land lines)
Claro has something similar ......
Basically free minutes to the same phone company
Some people have several phone company's phones for that reason, so they get a good plan for everyone.
The problem is that nowadays you can freely transfer your number to other phone companies. So you cannot be sure by the prefix to figure out the phone company of the recipient of your call ......
Only neck rubs without pay at termas?
[QUOTE=Buster1]Is it ok to pay the cover charge at a terma like 4x4 have a few drinks and flirt around for a few hours than leave. I have an intimacy fetish so I go around giving out foot massages and neck rubs, to the beauties. Pay the 40 or so dollars and leave.[/QUOTE]
Well, girls don't like this at all
They call it "pentelho" (pubic hair). Someone that hangs around and never fucks.
You can take her to the back room for 200 Reais and give her more neck rubs there, in a very intimate private setting. Then they would not object. Even if you neckrub 4 girls and take only one up, that still would be within limits.
Basically, don't you just want to save money?
These girls are friendly so they convince you to go to the room and pay up. They usually are not there to get neck rubs. People like this make girls end up being unfriendly, because they don't see no point in being friendly and wasting their time.
Of course, you can be plain honest. Say you are not going out with her but want to give her a neck rub. Or tell her you want to give her a neck rub and then give her R$ 20 for her 10 minutes she spent with you.
You could go to cheaper places where you don't mind paying even without sex. I can show you plenty of places for R$ 25 or so. If you hang out with the girl for 10 minutes after the end of the program, and take her to the back room for 20 minutes just to give her a neck rub, she will not object.
So the answer is: you can do this but you are abusing the system and the girls' trust. Unless if you cann pull this through being perfectly honest (I saw a guy like that, but he was the total pickup talent and could sweet talk anyone.)

Dolce Vita and Balcony Photos
I took these pictures during my January-February 2010 Rio trip. I took them fast so I wouldn't get noticed taking them. Sorry that one is blurry, but you might get the jest of how crowded Balcony gets.
