Hey, I'll be visiting RD in June.. how's cell phone service on the island? I have T-Mobile.
With T Mobile's Simple Choice Plan you?ve unlimited data and texting. All at no extra charge. Calls stateside they?re just 20 cents a minute. Again thats
ONLY with T-Mobile's
Simple Choice Plan. Data will be very slow. Don't expect to be streaming Netflix while lounging on the beaches of Boca Chica. The free roaming option will only provide data at 2G speeds.
When you land T-Mobile will send you a "Welcome to DR" text, with an additional text for an option to purchase a high speed data plan.
Additionally, make sure your phone is compatible with DR's network (Orange). Tmobile piggybacks off Orange Dominicana I believe. Your "coverage" will be as good/bad as Orange is.
Don't forget that with a T-mobile branded phone or a newer iPhone you can make free WiFi calls to the US. Also you may want to call Tmobile before leaving to make sure no "international calling blocks" are on/activated on your line(s) or none of the above will work.
Below is a link to Tmobile's coverage in DR:
