Recharge are available on most stores which accept credit cards for payment, they can usually issue electronic vouchers with the same machine, or you can buy cards at newsstands (they are not so common anymore, the physical ones), in R$13.00; R$18.00; R$27.00; R$35.00; R$50.00 and R$100.00.

The SIM card costs R$10.00 and comes with R$10.00 included. I don't know about microSIM avaliability, I had to buy one for myself in exchange for another postpaid line and they charged R$20.00 for the microSIM card only, they call it a "blank SIM" where they can transfer any account to it (either prepaid or postpaid). I guess if you need a microSIM you have to buy a regular one, and then pay another R$20.00 and have the number transferred to a microSIM chip, not sure though.
