  International Phone Card
by nickyte
 
 

Miscellaneous: When you arrived at Rio de Janeiro International Airport (GIG) after the immigration checks, before to get out the airport you can go to the telephone wicket to buy a calling card. With this card you can call practically every where in the world from any public phones in Rio. Phone cards are also everywhere being sold, in a kiosk, magazine stand, supermarket, foreign exchange places and restaurants. Phone booths for public in Rio are numerous but some are not well maintained and out of service. For privacy, it is best to use the phone center shops. Calling a cell phone in Rio is quite expensive and can be done in any Locutorio or Internet-Phone places which are everywhere in Rio.
