Eropean mobile phone in DR - roaming possible??
I believe yes
I'm not sure, but I think if it's a 3-band phone you can use it here with the phone company 'orange'.

In England I am on Vodafone, couldn't use that in DR. Don't know if our Vodafone and your Voda are the same though. My phone is a tri-band phone, didn't make any difference though.
I have never taken my mobile to the DR but a friend of mine did last year. His was a tri-band phone and he rang the phone company to say where he was travelling.
When he got there it still didnt work. I don't think you will have much luck with yours. Hopefully someone will come up with a plan for you.

im on Tmobile and have a tri band phone. i used it with no problems (only the internet service was unavailable) i didnt have to tell them either.
i was beginning to think Tmobile were diabolical but it looks like they might be good for something at least !!

That's interesting to hear because I was always under the impression that only GSM phones worked internationally. I was told by a friend that if I wanted to use my cell in DR, all I had to do was buy a SIM card in DR and swap it with mines. Has anybody actually tried the SIM card swap method?laura h said:im on Tmobile and have a tri band phone. i used it with no problems (only the internet service was unavailable) i didnt have to tell them either.

The only way it can be done is if your phone has no locks! or is unlocked by someone. make sure that your phone is dual tri or quad bands or atleast (GSM 1900 MHZ) that's the frequency ORANGE DOMINICANA operates in this country.......
Thanks for clearing that up. Unlocking a phone isn't illegal is it?ERICKXSON said:The only way it can be done is if your phone has no locks! or is unlocked by someone. make sure that your phone is dual tri or quad bands or atleast (GSM 1900 MHZ) that's the frequency ORANGE DOMINICANA operates in this country.......

If you are under contract with vodaphone and the phone was given to you yes however they don't need to know that nor is going to land you in jail.......unlock it and use any sim card......
the reasons are obvious that's why they lock their phones....
Why all the fuzz? Go ahead and buy yourself a prepaid cellphone from Orange or whatever, works like a breeze, and calls to Europe are cheap. At least they were about a year or so ago.
The phone itself cost about 900 pesos, when 22 pesos bought a US dollar - or actually vice versa.
