How to top up Entel and Claro Peru with crypto
Entel and Claro are Peru's two largest prepaid mobile carriers. Entel and Claro are both available on the Peru mobile top-up page on Cryptorefills and accept USDT, USDC, SOL, BTC on Lightning, and other supported coins. Enter the Peruvian number in international format (+51 followed by the nine-digit subscriber number), select the carrier and denomination, pay with crypto, and the credit is applied to the number within minutes.
How to enter a Peruvian mobile number correctly
Peruvian mobile numbers are nine digits long and begin with 9. In international format, the country code +51 is added before the nine-digit number. A number written locally as 9XX XXX XXX becomes +51 9XX XXX XXX internationally, or +519XXXXXXXX without spaces.
There is no leading zero to remove in the Peruvian domestic mobile format, the number begins with 9 in both domestic and international use. Enter the full nine-digit number after +51 with no spaces or hyphens. As with other LATAM markets, number portability means the prefix is not always a reliable guide to the current carrier. Confirm with the recipient if there is any doubt.
Entel or Claro, how they differ in Peru
Entel has operated in Peru and grew rapidly on the strength of data-focused plans and competitive pricing. It is the dominant choice among urban users in Lima and other major cities. Claro operates extensive infrastructure in the country by coverage area and is the more reliable option for recipients in smaller cities, provinces, and rural Peru. For Lima-based users, both carriers offer comparable service. Outside Lima, Claro's geographic reach is an advantage.
Which crypto to use for Peruvian top-ups
USDT on Tron carries fees below $0.01 and is the most cost-efficient choice for amounts under $20. BTC on Lightning settles near-instantly at equivalent cost. USDC on Solana is a practical alternative for Solana wallet holders. For larger amounts, the fee difference between networks is less significant.

USDT on Tron and BTC on Lightning both carry fees below $0.01. For small amounts, these are the most cost-efficient choices. USDC on Solana is also low-fee. Ethereum mainnet is not recommended for amounts under $30 due to gas fees.
