Latest on cellphone use in DR with phones brought from England.

Archive information suggests that in 2000 Orange was a possibility. Does anyone know the current situation? Can one use a phone here that has been pre-activated in the UK with Orange or anyone else for that matter? Or is it necessary to activate here by inserting the required chip?

Some shops which sell cellphones in Britian will tell you that their phone works in the Dominican Republic. This is true, but what they do not tell you and probably do not know is that they only work in certain areas. If your cellphone company or service provider has a webpage they show a map with the area from Santo Domingo up through the Ciboa valley (Santigo) and up to Puerto Plata. Outside this shaded area the phone will not work. This area may coinside with the Orange network.

Have had several people from Britian who have been misinformed here.
