Sosua Reports

[Mr Enternational]

I have been using the same T mobile international plan. It is about $95 per month.

Which plan are you on? It sounds like the Magenta Max. I do not know how old you are, but there are discounts for being over 55, being a first responder, or being military or veteran. I am a veteran so I pay $70 for that particular plan.

How often do you travel internationally to warrant paying $95 every month? Are there some months when you don't use the international portion of your plan? I'm asking because, I became a T Mobile subscriber back in 2021. I have a 55+ plan for $50 a month. I went on a 5 country traveling spree, and added international service to my plan for 30 days. For an additional $50. But after 30 days, my plan went back to my $50 plan. I only needed international coverage for 3 weeks of those 30 days. Like you, I use other apps which keeps me stay connected to the US. Google Voice for example, and of course Whatsapp.

I go to other countries every two months. Not every time for mongering. Yes you can add international plan when you require but I do not want the hassle changiyback and forth.

I have been using the same T mobile international plan. It is about $95 per month. They have just increased the roaming data allowance. It is one less hassle to go anywhere in the world. Besides you are connected just like you are in US. Calls are $25 cents a minute. I use WhatsApp, messenger, Skype etc to make calls. Most often use hotel wi fi. Nowadays almost all restaurants, massage places etc have wi fi.

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.

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.

Thanks again for this. I have one more question. Danny, the Whiskey and Rum youtube guy and owner of Malibu beach bar on one of his videos recommended using the money changers outside El Conde and Mango Tropical Restaurants to change money. Is this sound advice?

In Plaza Colonial (Next Door to Banco Popular on Alejo Martinez) it's in the rear left side of the plaza. Passport not needed. Exchange at WU in the plaza across from the Playero Supermercado, or The Inside of Playero Supermercado. Bring passport.

You could also exchange at Caribe Express next door to Super Pola Supermercado. Bring passport. There is an exchange office / booth as you walk on that short street from Bailee's towards Pedro Clisante. It's on the right side of the street. 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.

How was your trip?

The trip was just ok. There were a lot of guys there just for ladies who probably have no clue there is a place outside of Sosua. Girls look amazing from far and just ok up close. Lots of 6 or 7 chicks. Let me know if you want prices, places to go, or places to stay.

Yes your pm is not activated. But prices and your experiences. Are the girls open to BBBJCIM, anal etc.

With AT&T you can pay $10 per day to have access to your service internationally. You may need to talk to them before leaving to ensure it's available to you.
You can unlock your phone to add a local SIM to it once you get there but should have service to call Uber or use WhatsApp to text your chica.

Thanks for the info. Not only extra money but also extra pain it appears with AT&T. Sim card, unblocking and so forth. For such people, it would be cheaper to buy a sim card locally. T mobile is smooth, one does not have to put in either extra effort / time, or spend extra money.

Yes, we do. Details are always welcome. Thanks!

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.

I had an option to go to Sosua or Havana, sorry Sosua peeps, but the chicas in Havana are just more cleaner, cheaper and tighter.

La Habana? I am curious. That I know of, it was hard for people in the US to get there, without lying or jumping through hoops, as in transiting through other countries but perhaps you are from somewhere else?

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..

With AT&T you can pay $10 per day to have access to your service internationally. You may need to talk to them before leaving to ensure it's available to you. Connectivity in 210 destinations. It works in DR.

You can unlock your phone to add a local SIM to it once you get there but should have service to call Uber or use WhatsApp to text your chica. (you would want to unlock the phone before leaving the country. Can be done on AT&T website through a request).

Not really as they may mix in fake bills also you don't want to exchanging all you money out in the open on the street like that even if the area is pretty safe.
