[citation needed] In 2006, América Móvil made a bid to acquire Verizon's Latin American and Caribbean operations[6] and unified its brands (Comcel Colombia, Porta in Ecuador, Telcel in México, Tracfone in the US and CTI Movil in Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina) under Claro unbrella.

[7] América Móvil acquired 100% of Jamaican mobile operator Oceanic Digital, under the brand name MiPhone in August 2007.

The acquisition was approved by the CFC (Comisión Federal de Competencia) Antitrust Office in Mexico on 11 February 2010.

The Dutch government's intervention comes after the council representing employees of KPN urged authorities to halt América Móvil's planned bid.

[17] In 2018, the company's chief executive Daniel Hajj announced that América Móvil is seeking a TV license in Mexico.

[9] During the years before 2010, due to stricter regulations throughout Latin American countries, América Móvil's market shares shrunk and Telefónica gained grounds there.

The company operates under its Claro subsidiaries in many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, these include the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Peru, Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, Colombia and Ecuador.
