Leitao,
Using a phone when you need it the most is important. All the 4g phones that are manufactured to work on the Verizon network are global ready. Since the phones are made to use on our network we cannot guarantee that phones will work when a sim from another carrier is used. If you're having trouble using the phone you would have to contact the Brazilian carrier.
