Why it's hard to refill Claro from abroad

  • 1.Mi Claro app rejects all foreign-issued credit cards
  • 2.Tiendas are unreliable — closed Sundays, kiosks crash mid-transaction
  • 3.Prepaid numbers deactivate after 60 days of inactivity under CRC Resolution 5050/2016
  • 4.Losing your Claro number locks you out of Nequi, DaviPlata, and banking 2FA

“No international credit cards are accepted… It's 2024, I shouldn't have to walk into a point of sale to recharge service.”
