Cell phone service CRAP

Verizon & Tricom services have been terrible for the past month or so. Don't know about Orange, I flushed them 2 years ago.

Hey, I've been calling an orange cell phone, from Canada, all the time with basically no problem. I use Primus and although sometimes I have to call a few times to get through or have a bad connection, overall it's not too bad. And it's only 17 cents a minute..so it works for me!

Some Problems

Over the past few days I have also experienced some problems reaching an Orange cell in La Romana. I have tried to direct dial and use my discounted carrier. This happens mostly in the late evening and I get a busy circut message.

Same Problem

I have had the same problem over the past few days. Everytime I try to call a cellphone in the DR (mostly Verizon), I just get air or the message that all circuits are busy. I have tried to call only a few minutes after missing a call from my boyfriend but with no luck. I seem to have this problem in the evening to late night. If I try in the morning, I do not usually have a problem. He calls me almost everyday and says that he does not have a problem. I have been able to get through to friends who have the Orange network but the line has been terrible. I thought that it was my phone line. I use the Verizon International Plan.

La Barbie - I am in the US but would like more information on the calling cards. I am sure that it would be cheaper than my international plan. Can you post the information or PM me? If anyone else knows of really cheap calling cards, please let me know.

Thanks!

Same problem

It's damn frustrating. I only get to talk to my sweetheart once or twice a week now and then we can't hear each other. I'm having the problem with both verizon and orange.

Cell Phones

at least im not alone... anyone know when this crap will be fixed

DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED. I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH. TRYING TO CALL DR WHEN IT IS MOST IMPORTANT, IS IMPOSSIBLE. I'VE TRIED CALLING EARLY IN THE MORNING AND LATE AT NIGHT, NO CONNECTION. WHEN I FINALLY REACH THE PERSON, THEY TELL ME THAT THEIR PHONE WAS NOT OFF. JUST KEEP TRYING. OR THEY WHERE IS A BAD AREA. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?

I have been having crazy problems too! I guess Orange has some towers down, or working on them, which is interferring with the connection. I'll either get a busy signal, or dead air. Or else I'll get the circuits are busy att his time. Don't get hat too much, but I do get the busy signal.

The mornings or late late like 3am, I'll get busy signal, and in the evenings like 6-8pm I'll get dead air. It's very frusterating...hope they get this worked out soon.

I call an orange cell 2 -3 times per day in la Romana and have had very few problems in the last 10 days.

I am in NYC and it is impossible to make a call for the last 2 weeks.
I was told that the electricity goes out for 6 - 12 hours a day down there.
