Ding Recharge

[kenshireen]

I have used them for a while but the exchange rate is horrible and then they add a service charge.
I just bought 336 pesos for 8$ and the a 1.24 service charge.
Anyone know any better sites

recharge is more $$ by my math.......sure the fee is less.... but the minutes are more......... alot more

Question...am I wrong but don't most people have cell phone plans/wifi? I didn't realize that buying minutes is still popular? But I guess it serves its purpose.

We’ve never had a plan. I used to recharge to keep our numbers between visits

I think people who have plans are in the minority here.

The OP said he gets 336 pesos for $8. 336/8 = 42 pesos/USD

With Recharge you get 280 pesos for $5. 280/5 = 56 pesos/USD.

According to my math, Recharge is much better.

I agree with you but curious "what purpose""?

I had no idea...we have 3 plans one of which we do not use unless we are moving/traveling about in the DR. I know all about recharging as we have done it in the past. Maybe it is time to look into it again for at least one of our lines.

As in does not want a plan, in/out of the DR, traveling in the DR, or in Ken's case just helping someone keep their phone/minutes active.

I live here full time and have zero need for a plan. I make most of my calls from home on WhatsApp which is free. Any calls when I'm out and about I make a point of keeping them short. I use less than 10 minutes a month. If I have to make a lot of calls when I'm away from home for some reason, I can buy a paquetico for 49 pesos and talk for as long as I want on WhatsApp for 24 hours.

Correction: Less than $10 dollars a month. Usually closer to $5.

Got it thanks. I was guessing some plans with due diligence might be cheaper in the long run. No frills, etc just a wifi connection to WhatsApp and talk all day long .

I added 280 pesos/ $5.99
to a Dominican/ Altice prepaid number
a few minutes ago using www.recharge.com
zero problem.

Download Altice/Claro app, ask your GF for the 4 digit code connected to her phone number, that is used to use digital services, such as buying paqueticos (if she doesn't know, ask her to go to the nearest store of her service provider for help). Follow the instructions in the app to be able to connect the account, and then you can add minutes/paqueticos directly on her phone number without any 3rd party service provider and pay nothing extra.
