Thanks for the info debinatore!

I still have my Dominican phone and it's expired but I'm assuming that next week when I'm there I just get a new SIM card... will post back and let you know.

I also remember seeing a post, or I'm sure you can google it, that you can go online and keep it topped up, it wouldn't cost very much and would save you having to get a new SIM card.

Cheers, Debbie

You can get an Orange SIM card in the plaza next to El Dorado ( going towards airport ) . It is a barber shop in front and a money exchange / internet cafe and cell outlet in the back . you should be able to get one for $10 to $15 .

Just a quick question - aside from the sim card, How much does it cost to purchase minutes for the phone? Are the long distance rates good? I'll b in PC next month so I wanted to get an idea on how much I'll need to spend for this.

Any info would b great.

Thanks!

mk200 , you get maybe ten mins with the SIM card , then you can buy cards for $10 up to $50 i think , i think it is about 10 cents for local calls a min and only about 20 cents a min to call North America . Actually it is a very good deal , way better than the rogers/bell cartel that we are stuck here in Canada with !

You can also rent a cell phone package with outgoing minutes to North America from www.goldstrangroup.com

Hi Guys, do you know any website that i can top up up my Sim card ? i tried some of them but if the sim card is not there they can not do that

Sim cards and phones are cheap,alot cheaper than using your own ac ount or the hotel phones. There are orange and claro stores everywhere.
