Quick question. With WhatsApp, the girls in Brazil would need my regular phone number to my phone in order to message me on the app?

Posts: 196I looked around Copa today as I was told there was a TIM shop around siqueira campos but I could not
find it. The VEVO shop near me used to sale them but they stopped due to hassle she said?!
I will try Centro on Monday.

They did a copy-cat of T-Mobile international service 6 months ago or so.
Just call Sprint and have them activate your international service, free service.
Works great!

Posts: 53TIM Pre Pago
This is available at certain Posto do Jornals or a TIM store.
For $50 R it comes with instructions in English.
Set up is easy:
Call the included number (free) to speak to a rep in English or Portuguese.
All they require is your Passport details.
$25 R is allocated to data of which you get 1. 5 gigs over the course of 7 days.
The other $25 is credit towards making calls.

Both were very easy to activate. Just digit the CPF and pronto. Also an option for those without CPF.

Posts: 4058I've been comparing planos pré-pago, Vivo, Claro and TIM.
No big differences. All are cheap as long as you call the same operadora. When you call another operadora it becomes really expensive.

Posts: 27I switched from TIM to Claro last year mainly due to the majority of the people I was calling were on Claro and it is much cheaper calling within the same network. I thought the signal and data worked better and less dropped calls too. It also gave me updates whenever a charge was made against my pre-paid account so I was better aware of my balance than with TIM. I did need a CPF to activate the chip.

Actually, I remember a guy on one of my very first trips who used a watch that looked nice but did not work for the same reason.
So, I will be interested to know from people's experience which one would be a better alternative.
I heard good things about Vivo, and I also remember I saw that many of the girls and other Brazilians had more than one number on more than one operator, and I understand that it is because they can call people cheaper on the same network, but I also noticed all of them had Vivo in addition to either a Tim or a Claro, so that might be saying something good about Vivo.

Posts: 4058Choose operadora
I've always used TIM. Now I want to change operadora as I'm no longer satisfied with TIM. I was thinking about Vivo or Claro. Somebody can give some feedback on using Vivo and Claro in Rio?
