How the unlock works

A device bought on Claro in Latin America stays tied to that carrier until the contract or instalment plan is settled. The carrier holds the lock in their database; once the record is cleared, the phone accepts any SIM.

This service clears the lock server-side using IMEI-based carrier unlock. Nothing is flashed, nothing is opened, and the device keeps its warranty. You only need the IMEI.

  1. Confirm the Apple iPhone is locked to Claro (any carrier check service).
  2. Order service #460 and submit the IMEI.
  3. Wait for delivery — usually 1-7 business days.
  4. Restore or insert a new SIM; the iPhone activates without the carrier lock.
