Our verdict
Claro Paraguay is the network behind these tariffs, selling prepaid and postpaid lines in a single market and listed as network rather than a reseller. It suits people who want a data-only plan from the carrier that runs the network, with prepaid entry at PYG 10,000 and plan terms of 1 month.

Pros and cons
Pros
- It is the network itself, listed as network, so the plan and the coverage come from the same company.
- Sim only lines are available, which matches the norm: 99.5% of the plans on the site are sold that way.
- 5G and eSIM are both offered, and its eSIM support sits at 100% on the site, the full share.
- Billing covers contract and prepaid, so a prepaid top-up and a postpaid contract both come from the same operator.
- Plan terms are 1 month, so a postpaid line renews monthly with no long commitment attached.
Cons
- Billing stops at contract and prepaid, so there is no rolling monthly option as yesss! offers with contract, rolling and prepaid.
- Lonestar Cell MTN lists $0.20 as its starting figure, well below the PYG 10,000 Claro Paraguay entry point.
- Support runs on phone, chat and help centre only, with no email channel in the list.
- Plan terms are 1 month, so there is no longer commitment to trade for a lower monthly figure.
Who it suits
- People in Paraguay who want a tariff from the carrier that runs the network, listed as network.
- Users weighing prepaid top-ups against a postpaid contract, since contract and prepaid covers both.
- Handset owners who want eSIM and 5G on a data-only line, with Sim only available.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after a rolling monthly tariff: yesss! lists contract, rolling and prepaid.
- Buyers who only care about the smallest starting figure: Lonestar Cell MTN lists $0.20.
What it does well
Everything Claro Paraguay sells is a data line rather than a bundle, and the Sim only option means no handset is attached to the tariff. 5G is available on the plans, which places the operator with 95.2% of the providers on the site, and eSIM is available too, matching the 100% share that hand out an eSIM profile. Sim only lines are close to standard in this category: 99.5% of the site's plans work that way, so the decision comes down to allowances rather than to whether a phone is included. The plan list is plain: a prepaid top-up plan, postpaid gigabyte plans charged month by month, and an eSIM option on the carrier's own network.
Who runs it
The tariff seller is AMX PARAGUAY S.A., the legal entity behind the Claro Paraguay brand, and the operation is based in Paraguay. Because the seller is a network operator rather than a reseller, the line and the network come from the same company, so the contract sits with the carrier itself. Support runs on phone, chat and help centre, covering a phone line, a live chat and a help centre, with email not among the options.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Claro Paraguay plan cost at the entry point?+
Prepaid is the lowest way in, with the Recarga Prepago top-up plan starting at PYG 10,000 for the month. The postpaid gigabyte plans sit well above that figure on a monthly contract, so the gap between the smallest top-up and the largest data plan is wide. Pick the tier of data you will actually use.
Do I have to sign a long contract?+
Contract plans run on 1 month, so postpaid billing renews each month rather than tying you into a longer term. The gigabyte plans themselves are also charged month by month, so the monthly figure is the figure you keep paying. Prepaid top-ups sit under contract and prepaid and are paid as you go.
Is this the network or a reseller selling on top of it?+
It is the network. Claro Paraguay is listed as network, so the company that sells the tariff is the company running the radio network, with no third party between you and the coverage. Across the site, 70.4% of sellers work the same way, which is the normal arrangement for a carrier of its own infrastructure.
Can I get an eSIM and 5G?+
Yes on both counts. eSIM is available, so a new line can be activated on a handset that already supports it, and 5G is offered on the plans, placing Claro Paraguay with the 95.2% of providers here that carry 5G. Sim only lines are available as well, so a separate handset is not required.
Which country do these plans run in?+
They run in Paraguay only, with PY listing a single market and the operation headquartered in Paraguay. Treat these as local tariffs rather than something that travels: the line is built for use on one domestic network, and a buyer based elsewhere will not get a plan they can use abroad.
How do I reach Claro Paraguay for help?+
Support runs on phone, chat and help centre, which covers a phone line, a live chat and a help centre. Email is not among the channels, so anything urgent is worth raising on the phone line or in the live chat. The help centre covers the routine questions in your own time.
Can I go prepaid or must I take a contract?+
Either works. contract and prepaid covers both contract and prepaid on the same operator, and the prepaid Recarga Prepago top-up plan starts at PYG 10,000. Prepaid suits light, occasional use, while the postpaid gigabyte plans suit heavier monthly data use billed on a contract.
How does the entry price compare with Lonestar Cell MTN?+
Lonestar Cell MTN is the cheaper of the two at the start, listing $0.20 against Claro Paraguay's PYG 10,000. If the smallest starting figure is the deciding factor, that comparison settles it, while the postpaid gigabyte plans on offer here cost more again for larger monthly allowances.
