Gone are the days when only postpaid plans included a series of benefits, and prepaid users had to be subject to separate charges for minutes, messages or internet. With increasingly aggressive offers, the segment of lines that live on top-ups count with new — and robust — options every day, and that’s why TechSmart will help you find that ideal offer to boost your smartphone.

We went after all the packages sold by the largest operators in the country. We list the options offered with prices, benefits, which apps are offered in an unlimited way, validity of packages and other differentials. Thanks to this we arrived at a map of plans that stand out for some points, such as:

  • Vivo Turbo 5 GB (per fortnight, R$19.99) — good amount of added services
  • Tim Beta — good option for those who want a more complete package and are willing to pay a little more
  • Oi Pré 30 GB (per month, R$ 30) — pLano with the best cost x monthly benefit
  • Claro Prezão 2 GB (per week, R$ 9.99) — pLano with the best cost x weekly benefit
  • Correios Celular 4GB (per month, R$30) — pcheapest loan for the whole month
  • Claro Prezão (various options) — plano with the best added benefits
  • Tim Pré Top (various options) — plaunch with the included streaming apps

Pricing and benefits may vary slightly by user region. We took into account the pricing in São Paulo to assemble this guide.

A plan option for prepaid customers, “Claro Prezão” is constantly promoted by the operator with highlights and bets that even include advertising with artists such as singer Anitta and comedian Paulo Vieira.

Altogether, two package options are offered to users, one weekly and the other monthly, which means that the user must plan how to use it so as not to get a disadvantageous plan for its use.

Among the advantages offered to users, Claro cites the provision of a monthly book on the Skeelo platform, the possibility of using it on Claro TV+, the possibility of unlimited browsing on WhatsApp, Descomplica, Claro Música and Claro Cursos and unlimited calls.
