Any other tips about Curitiba is also welcome because, as I said, everything is new for me

Hi Dorian,
The mobile phone account won't be a problem to arrange in your name provided you have a passport and CPF. If you don't have at least these two documents then you will only be able to use a pre-pay phone.
The bank account is impossible unless you have a permanent visa and CPF. Sorry to tell you!
See my post "A Gringo's Survival Guide to Brazil" it will explain all the burearcracy here in Brazil.
Cheers,
