You keep it on your whatsapp. Use both whatsapp and zapbiz. Get a google phone which allows multiple users. With 4 users and using both zaps, you can have 8 numbers. Keeping the chip alive itself may not be necessary.
As we say, I don't do IT, and I can't help stupid.
[QUOTE=DreamCarnarvon;2571802]I've had my Brazilian number since 2019 with 'Oi'. I only recharge it when I am in Brazil. Never recharged it once while I was outside of Brazil. Can't speak for the other operators.[/QUOTE]
I would strongly suggest the terma, Mosaico, after midnight, and really best after 2 AM. It is in VM.
I also strongly suggest the prives, which you seem on your way to doing, especially the top tier prives.
[QUOTE=TiaVoyage25;2571832]Lots to report so buckle your seatbelts and enjoy the ride. Full disclaimer. Most of this is regarding non-mongering activities but does have mongering implications / uses.
1.) I've spent several days recently in Buzios. What is Buzios you may ask? It is a luxury beach town about 3-4 hours outside of Rio. You will likely be paying US prices for things, but I found the excess costs to to be worth it. A few times I looked out over the water and thought I was in Italy or Greece. This place is worth bringing a non-pro for a weekend getaway. It wasn't very crowded because it is winter time, but locals did inform me that there are working girls in the clubs during the summertime. You can get a nice Airbnb for $100+/ night during the offseason.
2.) If you are visiting Rio as a newbie, like myself, one should indulge in the sites to see but be careful of your surroundings. I went into a few favelas since I blend in and was with a friend who knows the lay of the land / is Brazilian. While visiting these places may be enticing, I don't advise it for your average monger unless you take a formal tour. My speculation is that these tours are arranged through the companies and local gangs to ensure the safety of the tourists, as it brings money to the favelas. Be careful.
3.) I do recommend the average newbie visit the Christ statue, Lapas (famous steps), Saint Theresa, and the Botanical Gardens. Just take a formal tour. It is worth it even if you are only here for a week or so. There is a lot to see.
4.) If you are looking for a good non-pro social scene and are a senior member who has contributed to the forum, feel free to PM me and I will advise you on some great locations. But, you need to speak Portuguese or else you will not have any success..[/QUOTE]

5.) I did my due diligence and explored the darkside termas. I was not a fan. At all. For me, mongering is about quality and convenience. I found them to be dirty and the talent lacking for my tastes (brancas). Yes, there are brancas there, but it is like finding a diamond in the rough, which violates the principle of convenience. I'm ok with paying more for the convenience of 4 x4, 65, MC, Solarium, and even Centaurus. Experienced mongers looking for a bargain deal will of course disagree with me on this by stating that there is quality on the darkside and that the girls at these other termas are not much better for the price. To that I say this: if the average in a darkside termas is a 4 (a huge stretch BTW), while the average in a tier 1 terma is a 6, I'd rather be harassed and annoyed by 6's in a comfortable and clean environment where I can more easily find the 8+ that I am looking for. And yes, I am willing to pay for it because it is my money to spend.
Bottom line: if you are a newbie to Rio, are interested primarily in brancas, and simply want the convenience of higher quality laid out for you in a comfortable environment, stick to 4 x4, 65, MC, Solarium, and Centaurus. You will pay more for this experience. Also BarraVIPs. Nothing but positive experiences with it so far.
.[/QUOTE]Thank you for writing this. My views exactly. At least you did due diligence. My diligence was asking my agent in Rio about VM and he started laughing and told me it was trash and would never go there. That was good enough diligence for me 🤣.
Convenience is a big deal to me. I don't see why I should go from one to another to another "hoping to find a diamond in the rough". I would rather go to one where I am pretty much assured of a few diamonds at a higher price.
In the end. To each his own.

[QUOTE=Bravo;2571794]Is there a way to keep your number 'charged' when you are out of the country so you won't have to get a new number every time you travel to Rio.[/QUOTE]Sure there is. Etopuponline. But for me, since the invention of whatsapp and T-mobile's free international internet, having a Brazilian SIM went the way of the dodo bird about 8-10 years ago.

I concur, unless you actually understand and speak fluent Portuguese and want the have a verbal conversation there is no reason to have a Brazilian SIM. Generally all GP's use WhatsApp or Zap (or other internet / WiFi based messaging service), all you need is an international internet access plan from your Cellphone provider or from any number of Cellular Plan providers.
But if you wish its easy to get a Brazilian SIM Card, just bring your passport when going to any one of The four largest mobile phone companies in Brazil are [B]Vivo[/B] (Telefnica / Portugal Telecom), [B]Claro[/B] (Amrica Movil), [B]TIM[/B] (Telecom Italia Mobile) and [B]Oi[/B] (Telemar) located in the Major malls.

In the end. To each his own.[/QUOTE]I 100% agree with this post.
The tier 1 termas are such good value (for my level of cleanliness and safety) plus prives.
(SP clinica and boates cleanliness / convenience / level of girls are it's biggest strengths and the only thing that give rio it's run for it's money).
I'm not a neat freak or anything like that but there's a line that I personally won't go below and everyone has that line it's just higher or lower for different folks.
Trying out some non-pros would definitely be a better adventure I believe.
From what I gather the poster who stay for extended period of times in rio, it makes more sense to try out everything rio has to offer and save some cash and earn some interesting stories along the way.
(there are certain days / times to go to different termas / clinicas and if you time it right you definitely can score big time).
But for posters like myself who will only be there for 8 days or so it might not be as lucrative as the clock is always ticking and the days really fly by when you're having a great time!

Great nigth out with ' the boys'.
Miamiboy.
Tia.
Zebra.
Like 4 superheros we mongered over from 65 to 44.
All that is written is true, it is a good venue.
I got like 10 numbers.
I am back at the love shak with Monique.
Look, all you superheros, vagabundo only wants world peace, and a few thousand or maybe a million concubines.
As we are all offloading cash from the ships which regularly flow into Rio like moonrakers it makes no difference.
Vagabundo is watching gia derza anally ploughed by a preto while he prepares to plough a pretinha.
And this time of year, the hold outs for pernoite at the tier 1 termas are coming around.
Cash is king.
300 pernoite is the programa, and it will be a 24 hour sessiion.

[QUOTE=TheCane;2571850]Some things are better lived vicariously![/QUOTE]Very true but I have done enough vicarious shit in my 20's and 30's to last a lifetime. I am till suprised how I am alive, how I have yet to be robbed and beaten or how I was able out of some jams.
Today, I have the money and the wisdom to keep a low profile and just enjoy my time at a nicer joint that meet my standard.
Let the young, dumb and full of cum types enjoy their daring adventures 🤣.

A lot of Brazilians (non-Pros) do speak English nevertheless the problem with my dissertation is you can't tell by looking at someone.

Sure, its hit or miss but it can happen (and you may feel your wasting your time) just depends on the environment you're in. Believe me the Brazilians know who the Gringos are.
For those who are working in a large company with a Brazilian office or have a Friend who is Brazilian, connect with them. Again, this is your non-mongering time. I have had friends refer me to a Brazilians who they worked with in country while on a contract to hang with. They contacted their contact indicated I was visiting, and the contact showed me the town once I arrived. They knew or had a better idea of the locations where Brazilian patrons have likelihood of knowing ESL. (I. E. , Company X happy hour at Restaurant&bar X).
Just like in the States some people of other nationalities speak English but if you ask them a question, they indicate they do not understand you. In most cases they do not want to be bothered with you.
Haven't you been for example. The grocery store and the cashier utters something to you like "are you a frequent store discount member?" or instructions you do not understand in Portuguese to which you do not know what is being said looking bewildered and a customer in line behind steps up recognizing you don't understand and comes to your aid and translates the cashier's question or instructions?? Yes, it probably happens to everyone at some point. Would said customer if you walked up to them cold and asked a question would respond? Who knows but since you were holding up the line and their desire to get out of the store they stepped up to translate and help you so the line could start moving again. LOL.
Finally some friends and I were in Leme at [URL=http://marius.com.br/]Restaurante Marius Degustare[/URL] and a nice looking Carioca asked my friend if he was from Texas since he had a Houston Rockets Jersey and 6'9 (probably thought he was a player) anyway she initiated contact, spoke English because she had a "desire" to converse with my friend. They did eventually exchange numbers but nothing never happened since we were flying out the next day.
Codename Vagabundo executed a movement to contact by the 19 h bus from Barra.
As he pushed to centro, team ISG -- fuck you-- was hovering like demons in the night.
The night was rainy. Vagabundo had on a Goretex Parka, over a Rio Lifeguard red rash guard shirt, and bombeiro pants with a rip in his crotch, letting his nuts hang out, a little something for the ladies. He had an invicta blade in the pocket, expertly sharpened in a little shop in Lapa off Riachuelo. The other sharpening services suck.
He also carried a SOG Seal Strike inside his waistband.
Heading into centro, TIA, Miami, and Zebra stated their pos at 65, where Zebra had already torpedoed a carioca hole or three.
From checkpoint 65, just a block north of a big ass church, and two blocks west of the Tribunal Maritimo, which adjudicates all maritime disputes in Brazil, SEAL TEAM ISG, with a Swiss Guard liaison headed West towards 4 x4.
One wag mentioned club 21, some new gay club, which sounded pretty gay, but since the team was headed to 44, it was not gay at all, just a laughing matter.
A sniper fired off a few suppressed rounds, but Vagabundo threw a HC smoke, and TIA put on his thermals and whacked the aggressor with a few silenced shots. Zebra, being a endangered species, took cover.
That was all bullshit. Just a typical Hemingway esque lie. All the great writers are liars.
After punching out the doormen, and tossing their bodies in the bay, our team of 4 heros, made their way up to the 3 d floor, the main boate.
Vagabundo got like 10 numbers.
Zebra, being a animal from the fields of Africa, sessioned again.
Miami being from Miami, fucked a hot little number, a morena with a tight little size zero body. Vagabundo got her number, and vowed to turn her into a asset for the Vatican intelligence services.
TIA well, he probably sessioned too, but Vagabundo has been smoking whacky tabaccy, on Copperhead Road.
Meanwhile, Gato1 and Mexidan were in VM. Vagabundo missed mongering with his quick reaction force. Mexidan and Gato1 likely had a orgy with Eliza Sanches who is seen in VM often. Then Gato1 and Mexidan executed a uber mobile infiltration to 65, where they also speared the assholes pussies and mouths of likely some of the same holes used by Zebra.
From there, Vagabundo got a indriver and picked up Monique, took her home to Transamerica, where we are watching Dom, but Vagabundo is plotting to fuck all those sweet 4 x4 girls, including some super hotties who have been resisting the charms of our hero, Vagabundo, who promised to take them to Arrail or Buzios and fotograph their tight little asses in the sunlight for their instagram bunda content.

Vagabundo must be careful not to disclose sources for the Vatican intelligence services.
But he met a Brazilian Navy Lieutenant, female type.
***** spoke good English, but had a little mulata kid, and was basically looking for a visa for her boss and admiral, and her sister, a nun, and then the baby daddy sued.
If you are looking for non pros, you must go to the rich temples.
