Yes, it's high, they charge that much in prepaid plans.
OI operator price list
That's the reason most people in brazil who own a prepaid mobile use to mostly receive calls, with an eventual emergency outbound call and lots of SMS's. Calls to a mobile phone from a landline are charged about R$0.80 peak and R$0.55 off-peak per minute. I think if the operators would decrease their prices they would have much more traffic, but the usual way to go here is "charge high from just a few, not charge low from a lot'

Indeed it is expensive. I used to have a prepaid "caps" plan in Australia, $30 AUD would then be charged about 0.25 per minute and 0.20 per megabyte of data, with 30 day validity. Sooo different.
