Brazil Prepaid SIM Card
only $79.00

Currently Unavailable

Great Alternate Solution: While not a Brazilian phone number, the Talk Abroad™ SIM card offers prepaid cellular service in Brazil and dozens of other countries.

A Brazil Prepaid SIM Card, in conjunction with the correct GSM cell phone rental or purchase, gives you to have a Brazilian cell phone number and allows you to take advantage of the low rates that the locals in Brazil pay—and all without a cellular contract. These rates are extremely advantageous and even include unlimited FREE incoming calls.

The SIM card or chip is the brain of the phone and is what allows you to make calls within Brazil and internationally. The card is prepaid so that you will never receive a phone bill and will always be in complete control of your expenditures. If needed, you can simply add more talk time to the card by purchasing scratch off recharge cards and entering in the PIN number on the handset. And since incoming calls are free (in their respective cities), even if you have depleted your credit you may still be able to receive incoming calls from anywhere in the world. The SIM card slips easily into the cellular phone and if needed, you can purchase other SIM cards as well for other countries to where you may be traveling. We also offer international SIM cards that are convenient for travel to multiple countries.

We offer a wide assortment of GSM cell phones for purchase and you can use any of our GSM phones in conjunction with the SIM cards we offer. For your convenience, we also rent cell phones for Brazil.

Activating Your Service:

  • Go to Brazil
  • Snap out the Brazil SIM chip from the SIM card and insert the chip into your GSM Phone with the metal portion facing down as to make contact with the contact prongs. (You will usually find your phone's SIM tray underneath the battery of your GSM cell phone.)
  • Be sure that the battery is charged
  • Turn on your phone. (There is no PIN code to enter)
  • Your first call activates the service. 

Recharging Your SIM Card:
To add more talk time to your prepaid account, you will need to purchase an "Oi Cartõe de Recarga". These may be purchased from Cellular Abroad (see below) or they can be found in denominations of 10, 15, 25, 50 and 100 Brazilian Reales at Oi stores and at most convenience outlets including convenience stores and gas stations. Even if you have zero credit, since incoming calls are always free, you will still be able to receive calls.

Brazil Oi '15 Real' Prepaid Recharge Card
only $14 for 15 Brazilian reales of talk time credit

CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK

Save time by starting your stay in Brazil with an additional 15 reales of talk time. Combined with the initial amount already on the SIM, this provides over forty minutes of local talk time or almost 20 minutes to the States! (By the way, it's OK if you want to buy more.)

As soon as you arrive in Brazil, simply scratch off the protective panel on the back of the recharge card, follow our instructions to enter the code number and your credit is applied. Knowing what the recharge cards look like and how to apply the credit, you’re one step ahead and loaded with call credit.

Convenient Tip: You can purchase additional recharge codes (from our Oi recharge cards) via phone whenever you need to add more call credits to your prepaid account. No need to ship you a card! Just call Cellular Abroad at +1 310-862-7100 and we can sell you as many recharge codes as you need. With the extra code(s), you'll be able to add more minutes from just about anywhere in Brazil. Please note that we can only provide this service to Cellular Abroad customers.
