Hi,

Yes I can confirm that it works for the iPhone, I was surprised as I was told before arriving here that you could not get 3G without being on a contract. Both my wife and I have iPhones when we arrived here I put an orange pay as you go sim in my iPhone having accepted the fact that I would have no 3G, originally we had decided just to have one phone, but then my wife decided it would be a good idea for her to have one. As I happened to be in la Sirena at the time I thought I would give Claro a go, went to the store, they put a pay as you go sim in and what do you know 3G, working right of the bat! Did not need to mess around with settings as the iPhone set it self up, just don't leave it oh all the time as it eats the pesos! I can confirm it sends mms quite happily, surfs the net etc.

If this is for an iPhone 3GS just get them to put the sim in, if it is for an iPhone 4 then you will need to get a sim cutter (I brought one with me) as the concept of a micro sim does not seem to have reached the north coast! In the city it might be different.

Hope it helps!
