If you have a locked phone in the US (most phones), you can either:

  1. work on getting your phone unlocked, a sometimes difficult process, or even impossible (on verizon, if you have an iphone, for example, it's not unlockable).

  2. Buy a new phone in Brazil.

  3. Buy a new phone in the US.

    Number 2 is a bad option, you're definitely not going to get a good phone for cheap in Brazil -- prices are 2.5x for phones what they are in the states, and the kind of throwaway phone you'd want is normally garbage, certainly without a quality camera.

    Number 3 is the way to go. I like the Moto Gs -- they're incredibly popular in Brazil, so you won't stand out, and the first generation one has a decent camera and is a steal at $80. You can take this to a telecom store (Oi, Vivo, TIM) in a mall, and normally with a passport # they'll be able to give you a SIM card and get you on your way. Sometimes, they might suggest that you need a brazilian ID# (a CPF), and you don't actually, I've done it with passport info.

    Still, bureaucracy and such in Brazil means that some stores will just say "No, you need a brazilian CPF", but your best shot is to go to one of the big malls in the Zona Sul (where are you staying, exactly?) and find someone who speaks English and tell them you need a limited plan to work for a couple weeks while you're in the country.

    MAKE SURE you stay with them until your phone is activated and working -- if you don't speak portuguese, the activation-by-phone process would be nigh impossible.

    Here are two phones -- the 1st generation is my go-to in brazil. Standard, not flashy, gets the job done, takes good pictures when the lighting is good.
