I am considering getting a cell to take with me to the DR. I don't have one here in the US, and can't say I know all that much about them.

I assume that I can get a good unlocked GSM cell with just voice and texting used here cheaper than there, and then get it fixed to work there. I don't want to spend a lot of money, I just want to be able to call folks in the DR when I am there.

Should I buy a phone here as I said, or get one there? I would also like as durable a phone as possible.

Thanks for any recommendations and info.

I bought a cheapo from Orange for about $12 and just buy minutes when I need it. Very durable as I have dropped it multiple times without problems. plus good quality voice and text.

If you just want a basic BS cheapie phone to text/call get a local phone in DR, if you need a smart phone bring an unlocked one.

790 pesos won't break your bank. Upgrade when you need to.
