I know that much, but Im looking for specific exact information on which plan, what the terms are and how to reload.
I've had an Orange "Flex" for several years. Flex is the "Orange Card."When you bring in your phone they will activate it, insert a sim card, and give you as many minutes as you want. As your minutes start to expire, you'll get a text telling you how many minutes are left. Then you go to any colmado, or phone store, or buy a card at just about any traffic light [especially in SD] - size of a credit card. You scratch off the code, dial a # on your phone [instructions are on the back of the card], enter the code, and the money is added to the phone. Very easy.

i went the the orange link provided by Tamborista in post #4 and when i click on a figure that i think i would like to pay i get this:
"no hay resultado que coincida con el criterio "
anyone else have this problem? i would like more information as to what you get when you pay a certain amount of pesos. but if they have no results for my selected criteria how can i get more info?
When you buy a card for 200 pesos [$5-6], for example, you get about 180 pesos in talk time and the rest is taxes. Nothing hidden. How many calls you can make depends on where you call [and how long you talk].

that isn;t bad rate at all. although, what do you mean by where you call? if you are in el campo are the rates different than the city?
And incoming calls do not use minutes in DR.

My understanding is Viva's problem is coverage and network consistency.For prepaid, Viva is the cheapest (Viva Prepago). A $100 pesos recharge will give you over 18.5 minutes of calltime anywhere in the DR + USA and PR. Only $100 pesos activation. BYOD or buy cheap phones at their stand. They will even unlock your phone for free or $200 pesos.
Now they have a promo when you activate by Jan 6, 2011 and you load your account with $100 pesos every month you will get 100 in-network minutes every month for free.

I wouldn't use neither Orange nor Claro for prepaid becaus ethey are expensive. For fleet calling and business plans, that's a "caballo diferente", though
