Pros and cons
Pros
- Claro Uruguay is a network, so the line comes from the operator that runs the coverage.
- Billing runs on contract and prepaid, giving a choice of a contract plan or a prepaid one.
- Roaming in Europe is included rather than a separate paid add-on.
- Heavier users can step up from the entry plan to a middle or the largest plan on the same contract basis.
Cons
- Billing covers contract and prepaid only, so there is no rolling monthly option.
- Support runs on phone and help centre only, with no listed chat or email option.
- The service sits in a single market, UY, so it does not cover a second country.
Who it suits
- Uruguay residents who want a line from the network operator with contract or prepaid billing.
- Travellers heading to Europe who want roaming that is already included.
- Data users willing to move above the entry allowance to a larger plan for more data.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants a rolling monthly line, such as yesss!, which bills on contract, rolling and prepaid.
- Shoppers comparing only the lowest entry cost, since Lonestar Cell MTN lists a price from $0.20.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the entry plan cost?+
The entry plan costs UYU 425 a month on a contract. Larger plans cost more for heavier data use, with more gigas included at each step. Claro Uruguay also lists prepaid billing, so the monthly amount depends on which billing type you pick.
Can I take a contract or a prepaid line?+
Both are offered, since billing runs on contract and prepaid. The published plan prices are contract plans, so the monthly figure is tied to a term rather than to a rolling bill. Prepaid lines are billed separately.
Are there sim only plans?+
Sim only is available, and Claro Uruguay is a network, so the line comes from the network operator itself rather than a reseller or a separate virtual network. The plans are listed as data allowances for the line.
Which country does the service cover?+
The service runs in a single market, UY, so it is built for people using it in Uruguay. Travel outside that market falls under the roaming terms rather than the home plan.
What support can I get?+
Support runs on phone and help centre, so you can call or use the help centre. There is no listed chat or email route, which matters if you would rather write than phone. The phone line suits urgent billing questions.
Does the plan include roaming in Europe?+
European roaming is included, so Europe is covered by the roaming offer rather than sold as a paid extra. That makes a trip easier to plan without adding a separate roaming package. The roaming terms still apply while you are away.
How does the price compare with other operators?+
Claro Uruguay is a network selling its own coverage, and the entry plan starts at UYU 425 a month. GETESA bills on prepaid and contract, while Lonestar Cell MTN lists a price from $0.20, a much lower figure in a different currency.
