[QUOTE=I Jags]Ok, any unblocked phone? And what is and where do I get an orange card? and what does 15$ get you?
THANKS[/QUOTE]
You go to any orange cellphone store in DR and buy an orange sim card for no more than 500RD and also a orange phone card for 50RD,100RD, or even 200RD for mintues to put on your phone and than your all set.
Simple answers to a simple problem. Just go to a Verizon store, or any cell phone store and shell out about $28. 00 US and the cell phone is yours today and your next trip to the DR. Trac-phone = cell phone. Simple. Handy. And a must have item.

I called Verizon and they have nothign to do with Trac Phone. I'm confused.
Can anyone give me feedback on if the Hilton is girl friendly? Can I find any talent in the hotel itself? Anlso, are there any working girls around in the morning hours? What is the earliest time to find someone around there or in the streets?
You cannot use the trac phone to make calls when you are outside of the US. You can make international calls from the US if you dial a special number and set up that service however. This may be helpful to you to call the DR or other countries and not have a real "paper trail" so to speak. Maybe good for keeping in touch with various "novias"...lol.
The phone you want is an "unlocked" phone, not "unblocked" and you said in your recent post. I am not trying to be a smart a** but there is a difference in what they mean and "unlocked" is what you want. Some cell phone companies will give you the code to unlock your current phone (they don't always make it easy but they have no reason to deny you this FREE service but you must be currently using their service) and you can just swap sim cards to the one that works in the various countries you visit. I have a two or three year old Razor phone from Cingular/ATT&T or whatever they call themselves this month and it works fine. I have used the same phone in 3 different countries (buying the sim card for that country when I got there) with no problem. Yes, the cards are small and a little fragile and easily lost so if this may be a problem then go with the other suggestions of buying one on e-bay. A good point of bandwith was mentioned (SL Willie) so to be safe, get yourself a quad band phone or a tri band phone at the least. They are not expensive and if it isn't unlocked, the Orange store in DR will do it for you for a small fee. You may be able to get someone to give you an old dual band phone that will work but you need to research the phone to see if it works with those bands.
There is another carrier (Claro?) in the DR and their stores are all around too. Their are a few differences between the two I think, but Orange worked best for me and who I was calling. Don't forget to take a copy of your passport because they will need that to give you a card. You don't need it to refill your minutes once you get the card. Pana Nyc mentioned the prices of refilling the card and the best price to pay for the card. I don't remember myself.
Hope I was able to help.

Yes that does help. I think I have it now. But you lost me on the smallness of the Sim cards and Ebay correlation. I have a SIM card now and it goes inside my phone so it does not matter how small it is to me. And I am curious why you would buy a phone on Ebay to avoid a small SIM card. Don't they all have SIM cards and needed in the DR?
I know this is crazy but I don't want to mess with it a week down there..Thanks DP.
I was just suggesting the e-bay phone in case you didn't want to bother with swapping out the sim card. I used two phones my last trip to DR because I still wanted to keep getting messages sent to my US number. I also noticed a bit of wear on my sim card from swapping it in and out over the past couple trips.
One other reason was I thought I lost my sim card because I forgot where I "safely" hid it...lol. If you travel even a fair amount, I think it is easier to have the other phone for traveling. All that being said, you can be just fine with one phone...lol.
Oh, not all phones have a SIM card. This may not be true with the newer phones but some of the older phones did not have one. A friend of mine with a Razor phone, from T-mobile i think, did not utilize the SIM card but had the slot for it. You are correct about needing a phone with the SIM card in the DR though.
It's not crazy at all, I had the some of the same questions!

Ok so I buy a 1800/1900 GSM on EBAY. It has a SIM card already, so when I get there I will not need a new one, correct? And it doesn't really matter what brand I get?
I just have to buy minutes and that's it?
Do I have it right now? lol
I am nothing..lol
Buy an unlocked phone on ebay that works in those bandwiths. i think you can select those things in the search feature. It will not have a SIM card I'm pretty certain but that doesn't matter, then when you get to the DR, get a SIM card from the Orange shop. The unlocked feature just means that the phone can be used with any carrier as long as that carrier's SIM is in the phone. Correct, the brand of phone won't matter as long as the other things are present.
The new SIM card usually comes with some minutes but buy extra and let them add them on. They will explain how to add the minutes and ask them to make sure the menu comes up in English if you aren't good at reading Spanish. The other people here can help with this but I think the card defaults the menu to Spanish.
So, you definately need a SIM card from the DR. If you can find someone to give you a phone that isn't too old and uses a SIM card then you can get it unlocked down there. They will take out the old SIM and put the Orange one in. Don't forget to ask your carrier if you can unlock your phone in case you don't get a phone before you leave. Unlocking your phone should not change anything with your plan at all but ask just to be sure.
Now, I think you got it...lol!
Does anyone know if any of these places are worthwild?

No girls available at the hotel itself. This hotel is high class, better then most hotels I stayed in major cities in the usa. I would recommend it for sure!
