Introduction to the Lesson
- The instructor expresses a preference for physical SIM cards over virtual ones, aiming to help students acquire them at lower prices for increased profitability in sales and personal use.
Finding SIM Cards
- The instructor plans to list various locations where SIM cards can be found, sharing opinions on each. A special offer will be revealed for existing students at the end of the lesson.
Retail Stores
- Many retail outlets sell SIM cards, including supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacies, convenience stores, electronics shops, and newsstands.
- Prices vary significantly between different stores and regions; typically ranging from R$15 to R$20 per card in Uberaba.
Purchasing Directly from Operators
- Customers can buy directly from operators like Claro, Tim, and Oi. The choice often depends on available prepaid plans.
- TIM is favored because it does not require CPF registration for chip activation and generally offers lower prices compared to other operators.
Plans and Pricing
- When purchasing directly from an operator, customers usually need to buy a plan or recharge along with the chip. For example:
- R$3.30 for 13GB valid for 30 days.
- Most plans require a minimum recharge after initial activation to keep the number active.
Comparing Operator Plans
- TIM's plan offers better value (13GB for R$30/month), while Vivo provides less data (6GB for R$20/15 days).
Personal Strategy
- The instructor prefers buying standalone chips without any bundled plans or combos but occasionally takes advantage of promotional offers during events like Black Friday.
Current Promotions
- As Black Friday approaches, numerous promotions are available across various operators that could benefit buyers looking for deals on SIM cards.
Recommended Plans

- Claro Flex: No monthly commitment; includes unlimited access to popular apps (WhatsApp, Instagram).
- Vivo Easy: Offers flexible plan simulations but differs from Vivo Easy Prime.
