COMMUNICATION: A line will set you back Sh3,500 only

(RIGHT) BISMARCK MUTAHI IN RIO DE JANEIRO

Want to call in Brazil? Think again! For starters, if you need a phone that is compatible with the local networks, you need Sh3,521 (110 Real) to buy a ‘Claro’ line. Aparently, a ‘Claro’ line, on offer in Rio, comes in a package inclusive of 4GB data and 10 minutes of talk-time.

Unless you buy one, you may not call outside Brazil. Away from the daylight robberies, the other good thing in Rio is open WiFi, available at major hotsposts in Rio de Janeiro.
