Frequently asked questions

How much does Claro Uruguay roaming cost?+

Plans start at UYU 425 and the price per GB runs $150. Reference packs are billed in USD, with separate bundles for America, Europe, China and Israel, while the rest of the world uses pay-per-use rates.

Which countries does Claro Uruguay roaming cover?+

The plan covers 91 to 92 on a global footprint. Cuba is voice only with no internet data service, and several Caribbean destinations are voice only too, so check the destination list before booking.

Is the data unlimited?+

No. There is no unlimited data option, and the fair use policy caps included roaming data at a set run of consecutive days abroad, after which destination rates apply. Longer trips fall back to pay-per-use rates.

Can I share the connection with a hotspot?+

Hotspot sharing is not available, so other devices cannot be tethered to the plan. Budget for a separate data plan if you need to share a connection while travelling.

Which data packs are priced for regional trips?+

Reference packs vary by region. America, Mexico, Canada and the rest of America have more than one bundle, Europe including the UK, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Turkey, Czechia, Greece, Croatia and Austria has a single bundle, and China and Israel has its own. Japan and Thailand sit in the roaming benefit of the larger plan only.

Can I top up while abroad?+

Top-ups are available, so data can be added mid-trip rather than waiting for the next plan cycle. Support runs on phone and help centre, which covers phone and a help centre.

Is this an eSIM or a carrier plan?+

It is a carrier plan rather than a marketplace eSIM, so activation follows the roaming terms of the home network. That suits travellers who would rather keep their usual number while abroad.
