Can I use a Boost Mobile phone in DR? It is a spare Samsung phone that is no longer in service. The idea would be to get a dominican sim for it for when I travel back and forth there. Thanks All.

And if the bands match with the bands that use your phone will work 3G and LTE in the local company that you get your sim card. If you give me brand and model of your phone I can check where will work better.

Its the LG Tribute, model LGLS676
Thanks Riva

Im checking that model and I dont see the bands that use carriers here.

VIVA and Claro 2G use 1900
VIVA 3G use 1900
VIVA LTE use 1700/2100

CLARO 2G 1900
CLARO 3G 850
CLARO LTE 1700/2100

Altice 2G and 3G 900
Altice LTE 1700/2100

You need a phone that use those bands.

Look at my post above yours. Claro will work. They have CLARO 3G 850, from your post. His phone has it from my post.

GSM:
850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz

VIVA and Claro 2G use 1900. This from your info. His phone has GSM 1900 so it will work with Claro on 2g. It definitely will work if unlocked. I have used phones similar here already.

If will use it only for voice service in 1900 then will be fine with Claro or VIVA. Data service in 2G maybe only for whatsapp
