hey gang is anyone tech saavy when it comes to phones? Im kinda new to the phone game but i was told that if i purchase an "unlocked" phone that i could use it on a dominican phone service provider(i guess Claro or Orange or whoever else is down there) My question is if i retrieve an unlocked phone and insert the dominican sim card, lets say i wanted internet and navigation and such, would i be able to get it prepaid or would i have to purchase a plan?

Also can anyone recommend a good smartphone to use, preferable inexpensive but comes with android and navigation app?

Also how is the GPS in the DR? anyone ever use navi down there?


Thanx

I have a palm treo with a claro sim card and I can use internet through my prepaid service.The internet speed without a plan is 128kbps, with a plan it is faster, 3.5mbps I think. Claro can unlock verizon phones for 300 pesos, I don't remember what other they unlock.
