Hi guys! I just arrived today, headed to Sos?a. I got a Claro SIM for my iPhone 5c, and everything works. Except. I can call and text and receive same to/from DR numbers just fine. I can call and receive calls to the US. I can receive texts from the US as well. But I just can't send texts. The Claro kiosk at SDQ was unhelpful. After a couple minutes of poking they shrugged and handed it back.
I am using 1 before the area code, but I also tried +1 and then the number. No go. This evening I took it to the corporate store on St Vincent in SD. I got way in over my head with my Spanish, although I *think* I learned I'd never be able to text ATT customers. I don't care about that network, but I do need to text Verizon subscribers. (My family is on vzw). When I came last year with a little crappy flip phone, I had no issue at all texting US people.
Have you damas y caballeros got any ideas or input? Barring ideas, I'm going to go to Orange tomorrow and see if they have a similar issue. But I've already got some money into this, so if I can roll with it, I'd like to- unless you think I *should* go with Orange. I'm open to suggestion!
