Am I correct? is it possible to start thse plan once sims are bought in a Tim shop? I will be in Rio.
Mingelli,

To acquire the voice+data prepaid plan you just buy a prepaid SIM anywhere (newsstands, bakery, bars, wherever you see a blue and yellow TIM chip logo. Don't forget to make a call as soon as you buy and then ask for the seller's CPF, it is required by law, so you can make and receive calls, and use the data plan. Then you top up with some credit (can be bought electronically using VISA, MASTERCARD or in cash at the same store you buy the prepaid SIM).

Ok, that was the easy part.
To buy the prepaid data only SIM you need to walk into a TIM store, mostly like a store owned by TIM itself, not a third-party, because apparently TIM is phasing out the prepaid data plans since they offered the R$0.50 a day offer with voice.

You will need to acquire the prepaid data SIM card at the store and then activate it and top up with credits, you can buy the credits at the same store.

You are correct, the plan for 1 month needs to be activated by sending TWMES to the number 4141 and then reply to the confirmation message with TWMES OK

I strongly advise you to buy the SIM cards, top up and activate the plans all at once, inside the TIM store, if something gets messy they can help you at the time.

Another tip, print the pages at TIM website that describe the WEB PRE offer, so the salesman will know what you talking about.
