Hola! I will be arriving in DR on Friday for my year work placement and the first thing I will need to sort is the above.

Moving from Mexico where we just have one network, do you guys have more than one and if so what is the best deal?

I will only be using it for texts and local calls.

Also husband will need a contract with internet. Who does the best package?

Many thanks

Looking forward to my move!

For the best coverage, Orange and Claro are similar. Same similarity in pricing. For the best pricing go with Viva, which is only RD$4.90 + taxes per minute. Orange and Claro are both about RD$ 8 + taxes per minute. All of them have per-second billing. Same price for calls within the DR and to the USA. Viva has lower coverage, but since 2 years ago is growing and now covers roughly 90%.

If I had to go with prepaid, I would go with Viva. I do have a corporate fleet plan with Orange where I pay dirty cheap for calls, so I stay with them, but if I had to do prepaid(pay-as-you-go), Viva would be my choice, 100%.
