Claro review

Plans start at PEN 29.90, and the PEN 50 tier sits above that entry price. Pasaporte Claro data packs are separate products for a fixed trip window, bundling data with texts, minutes and messaging apps, so the entry price covers only part of a trip.

No open-ended option here. Unlimited data is a no for these plans, and the fair use policy puts a ceiling on how much data each plan uses abroad, so the Ilimitado names describe the allowance on the largest package rather than an uncapped line.

No. Hotspot sharing is a no for these roaming plans, and the fair use policy bars tethering as well. A phone cannot act as the trip's router, so anyone needing shared connectivity should sort a separate device or a different provider before departure.

The widest plan covers 35 countries, centred on the Andean region and the Americas, with higher tiers adding the United States, Canada and a European group including Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy and Russia.

Japan is outside the 35 countries Claro covers, so a Japan trip needs another option. It matters on a multi-country route too, because the list changes with the tier and a higher tier does not add Japan.

Pasaporte Claro packs run for a short validity window, or until the content is used, whichever comes first. The fair use policy also states that unused balance is not recoverable, so a trip that overruns the window loses the remainder.

It is the carrier itself. The operator behind it is America Movil Peru S.A.C. (RUC 20467534026), and the roaming feature is sold as carrier, so it attaches to an existing Claro line and bill rather than arriving as a separate travel eSIM.

Support runs on phone, email and chat, so help is reachable by phone, email, chat and a help centre while abroad. Top-ups are available as well, which helps when data runs low on a longer trip.
