Visit the puerto plata office, if you have a Cedula no problem (more easy), in you have only a passport in a first time you will have access only to prepaid plans (Prepago).
I heard Claro can be hell to get for a foreigner ... what are my options and how have you done it ?
Do whatever you can to get Claro. If you have a problem get someone with Claro internet to vouch for you, or even put it in
their name. After 3 or 4 months you can change it to your name. They need to see payment receipts for I believe 3 months
to change the name.
Also, when you have signed up and are waiting for installation go to where the Claro tower is in Sosua, that is where the
technicians are. Find one and show him your contract, or give him the number that is on it. Tell him you will pay him for
immediate installation. They can and will do it when you find the right guy. I have done this anywhere I go in the DR.
Otherwise you will be tied down forever waiting for installation.

I will try for sure.
I do not need all this but i am def interested in getting in touch with him. Do you know if he speaks english by any chance ?
Thank you
And if you need cloud, I would certainly not pay Claro. For 60 USD per year you can get unlimited Amazon cloud. Unlimited as in unlimited, I already have 3tb stored on cloud and still good to keep adding.
You are right... the only thing i really need from them is really strong internet probably 10 or 20 mbps. The thing is that I am currently abroad and would need to have it hooked up rather quickly.
If optic fiber is available in your location you can have up to 100 mbps ; with dsl 5 et 10 mbps (10 if your line is good and near the central) ONLY CLARO can inform you on what is available

dorift_it, where is your new office located? 10MBit ADSL is widely available in El Batey, Sosua. Upload is 1Mbit.
If you have a problem get someone with Claro internet to vouch for you, or even put it in
their name. After 3 or 4 months you can change it to your name.
The office is located right in front of the Don andres hotel.
