Almost all girls have Android phones. So it is easy to arrange meetings. Just check the bill monthly. One time I got charged $25 for calls I did not make. They credited my account.

ATM's in Sosua is risky, or the exchange rate on your money is not good. Definitely do not use the ATM at Banco Nacional across from the big Playero Supermercado, your card may be compromised. Several people have reported their card being compromised when they used it in the Supermercado. As well. I'm thinking a card reader was used.
Google Pay, Samsung Pay or Apple Pay can be used at the cash registers in the big Playero. Thats a safe option for making large purchases, and keeping your pesos in your wallet. Also recommend having a fee less debit card as your travel card. One that reimburses you for ATM fees, and does not charge you foreign transaction fees. Charles Schwab is such a card.
Once you exchange and get your pesos, try to pay for things with your larger billsso you can accumulate smaller bills for tips, and motoconchos. Try not to give up your smaller bills unless you have to. Don't take a moto or taxi and then whip out a large bill and expect them to change it. Unless you ask in advance if they can change your bill, have small bills on hand and get the price of the ride upfront. Try to have exact change, because you may still have a driver claiming they can't give you change from your payment.

Posts: 22Pay it forward or don't complain
Well I just got back from Sosua and I received almost zero help from anyone specifically yet I see a lot of people complaining about guys overpaying or doing the wrong things. If you want to see that change be that change. If anyone is heading there and wants some info fresh unbiased info ask away and in a few days I will drop some answers.

Posts: 45I had an option to go to Sosua or Havana, sorry Sosua peeps, but the chicas in Havana are just more cleaner, cheaper and tighter.
Don't get it twisted, the ease and beauty of Sosua will always have a piece in my sack. My last visit was Jan of 2020, and Ahnvee was great.
I'll be back eventually.

I see a lot of questions about where to get the sim cards locally and so forth. Just for the newbies, if you have a T-Mobile phone (and of course if you are from the US), your phone would be switching over to the local network at say tentatively 3 G /4 G speed. This means you do not need a new sim card, a second phone and money to charge the card. Once you are at the hotel, the wifi would do the job. That's that. Attention: if you are using the phone to call someone, that would be pricey (20 cents a minute if I recall it used to be), using T mobile voice which is easily skirted if you use whatsapp for your calls / texts even internationally, which means essentially you are using data only and not voice.
I am afraid I do not know if AT&T or Verizon has similar deals internationally but I have had T mobile for ever and it is one less hassle, ever since they launched the international connectivity part.
