February2011 costs .
I did check today with Claro office on calle del Sol : for 60 days, they charge 3 875 pesos plus impuestos ( modem comes gratis).
Orange office on the same street charges daily 120 pesos, there isn't a charge per a set number of days.
Tomorrow, I will check with Viva.

Orange is good in Punta Cana for short term if the signal is good where you are at. I have a dongle from them that I use for a back up when I have a problem with land based Claro. The dongle cost about 2500rd and it is 120 rd for any 24 hour period. You can put money on the dongle and just use it when you want for a 24 hr period.
But the speed is OK, but nothing to rave about. About 1 Mg down and .33 up. But you can get by with it for normal use.

If you can get it to work. I tried that and even Claro tech people couldn't get it to work.
there is also a 7 day period right ?
is it ok to skype with it ?
thanks
I did not use it for months, and when I did it still worked. As long as you have money there it will work. It is weak on Voip calls, it will work but not too good.
RE: Skype..... you can get away w/ voice, but the video Skype is tough.
Agree w/the others - verify the signal first, then choose....

I had an Orange pre-pay dongle for a while. Then the next time I tried a Claro pre-pay dongle.
In the Santo Domingo and Punta Cana areas, they both had worked well for my purposes - mostly email for work.
But I was able to Skype as well. The video picture was a little distorted at times, but functional. GoToMeeting conference calls also worked, but again the video quality was poor.
The only difference between Orange and Claro for me was: Claro was less expensive, but also needed me to go back to the Claro office again because it did not work out of the box at first.
