I don't know about orange phones but the maldito Claro cell phone system is also down for the past 2 days. I have not been able to call out in the past 2 plus days. "All circuits are busy" or " call failed" message would appear. I was totally cut off from my friends for the past 2 days. This morning the phone worked but just now I tried to call out and got "called failed" message 5 times in a row. Oh god, another day with phones. :(

With all the problems of the phones being out maybe someone should start a carrier pigeon business :cheeky:

I sometimes have got this problem with my new Claro cellphone, but usually if I am persistent I can make the call.

Claro emergency calls only in Juan Dolio from 7pm last night. Back to normal this morning. I chaned from Orange having had it for 6 years as they were so appalling - it go to the stage when I could never receive any calls at all. Since then Claro has been great - until last night!!

I now carry two phones, Orange and Claro. Always have service...
We do, too. I have Orance, Alida Claro. Honestly, the both have problems, but different times in different places. I don't see the superiority of either.

AZB, do you have an CDNM phone or a GSM phone?

I bought Tavina new GSM phone for use with Claro and it worked when my CDMN phone didnt....

I wonder if that has anything to do with the issues.

i have a simple phone, i do have internet capabilities but I only use my cell as a phone. I think orange has better service than claro at the moment. Claro signed up a ton of people with the GSM technology yet they just didn't have the infrastructure to support the load. :(

The key phrase is - at the moment. That can change at any time. And is very dependent on your location.

I get the Call Failed message constantly. Then for no reason, my phone goes on Emergency Calls Only or No Service. I often have to shut it off and turn it back on. No it isn't the phone, had it checked and it is new.

It is frustrating.....

I have used them all and currently the most dependable is clearly Centennial which is now VIVA. Some spots east of Cabarete are not covered yet, but for the PP area no problems with signals of any kind.
