I will be staying at Puerto Plata (hotel Hotel Grand Oasis Marien ) arriving at Gregorio Luper?n Airport (Puerto Plata) airport.
Location -
+19? 46' 41.35", -70? 39' 31.0 - Google Maps
My cell phone roaming is $2/min, so I would like to buy a local prepaid SIM card, mostly for calls to/from US. I am only concerned about voice calls, no data needed.
I do have unlocked quad band GSM phone. From what I understand there are 3 GSM provider in the country ? Orange, Viva and Claro
Please advise where I can buy prepaid card in the airport or around hotel without too much hassle. I don?t really want to spend ? of my vacation day in a search for a sim card J
Does it have to be authorized store or any convenience store sell sim-card ? Do I need any documents to buy it ? Will they take USD or DR pesos are required?
What is the average price of the starter package and how many minutes/RD$ are normally included in the starter package?
I don?t speak Spanish except for few words, so any ?keywords? to help to complete the transaction would be appreciated (I can manage to say ?Tengo que comprar tarjeta de prepago ? )
Any recommendations for the specific company / plan are welcome (I will need a phone for 5 days) maybe 100+/- minutes.
Thanks a lot !
Sorry if these questions have been already answered ( i did some serach , but didnt find specific answers)
