Hi everybody !

I'm a french student, just arrived in Curitiba to study 10 months in the city. Everyting is new for me, especially speaking portuguese wich I never learned before !

I want to suscribe a mobile phone and a bank contract, so if you have advices or tips for the best companies you know at the cheapest price ??

Any other tips about Curitiba is also welcome because, as I said, everything is new for me !

Thanks

Dorian

Hi Dorian,

The mobile phone account won't be a problem to arrange in your name provided you have a passport and CPF. If you don't have at least these two documents then you will only be able to use a pre-pay phone.

The bank account is impossible unless you have a permanent visa and CPF. Sorry to tell you!

See my post "A Gringo's Survival Guide to Brazil" it will explain all the burearcracy here in Brazil.

Cheers,
