Anyone know how to put data on to a Claro prepaid sim cell phone?

can't recall exact steps but try *111#

internet
compra
paquetes de data nuevo (or something like that)


*122# I believe is for balance in pesos

In small print on the back of the card I thought it explained how to do it. I don?t have a card handy to check.

I do recall turning on data on the phone and I was able to use the Internet.

You can go to any Claro outlet and they have packages, or days, week, month. They program it right into your phone, not expensive*

Actually no need when you can do it yourself. It is like a 6 step process of selecting different drop down menus.

it is *112# call
replay with option 2 Internet Movil or 4 Nuevos Paquetes de Datos
and the replay with the one you want to buy

thanks, wasn't sure if it was *111# or *112# but the trick is to first select internet but on another menu the key is nuevos paquetes de datos. This part changed in the last year or so.

The available options in the menu (and pricing!) are different depending on if you buy that Claro sim using a cedula or a passport (yes, it's higher if passport was used).

Bigbird sorry for the dislike. It was a mistake. All the advice is great! Bought sim 10 yrs ago with passport. If menu doesn't work I'll go into a Claro place.

No problem..........

Bought mine ten years ago with passport also. Maybe time to change and sign up with cedula.
