How to top up a Claro number from abroad

A Claro El Salvador top-up on Slashtel is a direct recharge sent to the mobile number, not a voucher or a code you forward. You enter the Salvadoran number, choose an amount or a SuperPack, pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the credit or bundle is delivered to the phone in minutes. The operator is detected from the number itself.

  1. Enter the Claro El Salvador mobile number you want to recharge, using the 8 digit national format such as 7012 3456.
  2. Check the operator shown. Claro is detected from the number, so no network selection is needed.
  3. Choose an Airtime top-up or a Claro SuperPack from the list that appears.
  4. Pay with a debit or credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
  5. Wait for delivery. The balance or bundle arrives on the phone in minutes, and the person holding it gets a confirmation from Claro.

You do not need a Claro account, a Salvadoran bank card or an app installed on the recipient's phone. The number is the only detail that has to be right.

The plans and what lands on the phone

Two families of products appear for Claro El Salvador. Airtime top-ups add balance with no expiry attached to the recharge itself, and the amounts that land are $12.58, $18.87, $25.15, $37.73 and $62.89. Claro SuperPack and Data Plan bundles carry a validity period, from 7 days up to 30 days, and are written in US dollars because El Salvador uses the US dollar.

Airtime is the flexible option. It suits a family member who tops up their own bundle from the balance, or a phone kept for calls and messages rather than data.

The SuperPack range covers shorter and longer windows. Superpack $7 All included USA runs 7 days, Superpack $12 All included USA runs 15 days, and Superpack $15 All included USA runs 30 days. Data Plan 1 USA runs 7 days, while Data Plan 2 USA, Superpack All Inclusive 4 USA, Data Plan 3 USA and Plan Datos 4 USA each run 30 days.

None of the amounts shown are reduced by an operator tax on these lines, so the figure you see is the figure that lands on the phone.

Entering the number correctly

Claro mobile numbers in El Salvador have 8 digits, and the example number is written 7012 3456 nationally or +503 7012 3456 in international format. The country dialling code is 503. There is no leading zero to drop, so the digits you type are the digits of the number as it is normally written.

If you are copying the number from a message, remove spaces and any punctuation before you enter it. If it already starts with +503, keep the 503 and the 8 digits that follow.

A wrong digit is the most common reason a recharge does not arrive. Check the number against a recent message or call from that phone before paying.

If a top-up does not go through

Most failed recharges come from a mistyped number or a number that belongs to a different operator. Claro is detected from the number, so if the detection does not match the phone, the recharge will not complete. Tigo and Movistar numbers in El Salvador need their own top-up path.

If the payment is taken but nothing lands, wait a few minutes first. Deliveries are usually immediate but can queue briefly. Then check the number again, digit by digit.

If the number is correct and the operator matches, the order can be checked against the number you entered. Keep the confirmation you receive so the details are easy to quote.

Paying safely

Payment is made on the Slashtel checkout by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the recharge is sent straight to the number you entered. You are not sharing card details with the person receiving the top-up, and no Claro login is involved at any point.

The price you see at checkout is the price for the top-up. The only figure that changes between options is the amount that lands on the phone, which is shown in US dollars for every Claro El Salvador line.

If you top up the same number regularly, the number and the amount are the two details worth saving, so the next recharge takes less than a minute.
