Brazil Prepaid sim with data

[mingelli]

Will spend some time in Rio and would like to get a prepaid local sim with the possibility of activating a data plan paying so much every week/month for so much traffic to use in my iphone, I have checked Tim Brazil web but cant find any info ralated to data plan on prepaid sims. Any suggestions, advice?

I know this is a late reply but I was in RJ in June/July and managed to get a local friend, who has a CPF number, to obtain a prepaid SIM on Claro. Data cost me R$51.00 per 7 days from memory. Not all of the Claro shops know about it. I had to ring up Claro Customer Service to add the service once I had charged up enough credit. I had tried Vivo prior but after 2 days of waiting for the SIM to activate, we returned it and gave up with them. TIM and Oi weren't very helpful. Claro have a free phone customer service number which you can call from within Brazil and they speak English.

Bit of a strange request but do you still have the VIVO sim, i will explain why if you do and pay you for you sim/post/time etc.
