Updates for Brazil - general
Hi, this is a nice website. I came across looking for 3G prepaid data plans to use on my trip in May/June to Italy/Switzerland/Finland. Found for both Italy and Finland via this site.
As I am from Brazil I checked the info on Brazil and an update is necessary. Lots of things have changed around here. General:
It is very easy now to buy prepaid SIM cards, they are available, mostly from OI, at newsstands and many other places. There is no need to present a CPF , however in the first call the call is intercepted and the user must key in a CPF. That part on how difficult is to buy prepaid SIMs in Brazil can be removed. All mobile operators now offer WCDMA/3G services. The frequencies for each company/state are available here.3G no Brasil | Mosquito Eletrônico . To make a long story short it can be abbreviated as
