01/2014 - checking phone balance

To check the balance on a Claro pre-paid sim card cell number, maybe: *122# and press send. https://www.aryty.com/ and https://www.ezetop.com/ can be used to add minutes to DR prepaid cell phone numbers, with a bank card or credit card, starting at $5US increments. Cards with a scratch off code on the back can be purchased, I have seen starting at 60 pesos (some shops can also add minutes). For Claro dial something like 1133 and press send and then enter the code that appears under the scratch off part of the card (instructions are on the back of the card).

To check minutes on Orange dial #131#

You can add Internet service to your Claro phone by dialing *111# and following the screen prompts.
No need to visit a store.
It will ask you which services you are trying to add and for how long you want them.

You must have previously setup your mobile internet account in a store.

Excellent information, thank you very much. I just added both numbers to my cell phone.

I guess a person with an unlocked GSM cell phone with wifi hotspot capability, could connect a laptop or tablet, through that cell phone's internet connection.

There might be something with Claro, where you can hear certain Claro prompts in English.
