• Device Compatibility: Make sure your cell phone or tablet is unlocked and compatible with Claro networks.

• Choosing a Plan: Decide whether you want a prepaid, controlled or postpaid plan, depending on your needs.

Now that you're ready, let's go step by step to activate your Claro chip!

Step 1: Check Your Chip

First of all, check that the chip is in perfect condition. Check that there is no physical damage such as cracks or scratches. Make sure that you received the complete kit, including a manual with instructions and, in some cases, a PIN to unlock it.

Step 2: Inserting the Chip into the Cell Phone

1. Turn off the device: To avoid problems, turn off your cell phone before inserting the chip.
2. Locate the SIM Slot: The SIM tray is usually on the side of the device and can be opened with an ejection tool.
3. Insert the Chip Correctly: Position the chip in the tray with the metal contacts facing down and fit it in place.
4. Close the Tray and Turn the Device Back On: Make sure the chip is correctly positioned and turn on your phone.

If the chip is correctly inserted, your device will automatically identify the Claro network.

Step 3: Setting Up the Network on Your Cell Phone

To ensure that your Claro chip works perfectly, it is important to configure your device's network correctly. Follow the steps below:

1. Go to Settings of your device.
2. Go to “Network and Internet” and select “Mobile Network”.
3. Enable Mobile Data to ensure internet access.
4. Choose Carrier Manually, if necessary, and select “Claro” from the list of available operators.

If the data connection does not work properly, you may need to configure the APN manually.

Step 4: Activating the Claro Chip

With the chip inserted and the network configured, it's time to activate it:

1. Call Activation Number indicated on the chip packaging or sent via SMS by Claro.
2. Enter your details: Normally, you will need to provide your CPF and other personal data.
3. Confirm Activation and wait for confirmation via SMS.

The process can take a few minutes, but sometimes it can take up to 24 hours.

Step 5: Testing the Functionality

Now that the chip is activated, run a few tests to make sure everything is working properly:

• Make a Call to confirm that voice service is active.
• Send an SMS Message to test the messaging functionality.
