I don’t recall seeing any but there likely is. Just look for the Tigo or Claro logos when you deplane.

Just went to a Tigo office and they said if you don’t recharge for 2 months the card will stop working.

I don’t know for sure, but it’s unusual elsewhere in the world for a card with no current balance to stay active that long. You’d need to check with Tigo for the definite answer, though.

How long do they stay activated outside the country?

Do you know in what increments they sell credit/saldo for voice/text? And how much credit does one text message sent use?

Thanks!
