does anyone know what the problem is in Cabarete re the telephone? I have not had service since the hurricane. Is anyone else in the area experiencing the same problem?
When I contact the telephone company .....I am told that it is a big problem???? Help, I need my internet.

Sami,
Call Alex - oh, I forgot - you don't have the phone??
We're all back on and have had only a few problems since Jeanne, then the crashed burnt out car melting all the cables, etc. etc.
Did you report the fault?? Verizon do take action within 3 days, any longer and they will reimburse you with a credit on your next phone bill.

duh!!!!Alex.
I thought the phone company would just know after a dozen phone calls. Do you know of anyone else in the area having the same problem. Or does anyone out there have a good contact :tired:

Phone problems

We've had problems in Puerto Plata with cellular service for about 2 weeks. Switched lines, disconnecting, not going thru. Who the heck knows what it might be this time.... I am told the problems are fixed but I pretty much don't believe them.....

I have also been having problems calling POP from Canada. Call once- busy, call twice- answering machine, third call - dead air. And I get charged for that dead air!! :cry:

No troubles at all calling my new DR land-line in Sosua a few dozen times over the past three days to trouble shoot an unrelated system. I did notice more of a delay than one might hope, but all calls went through fine and were of decent quality.

Could anyone tell me if cell phone jammers are legal in the DR. I swear they're being used...

trouble calling from Canada too

I've been having trouble calling from Vancouver, Canada to Puerto Plata for about 2 weeks. Last couple of days have been impossible and I haven't gotten through at all. The call either just rings with a busy type tone, says the circuits are busy or is just dead. Tried again today and still not working.

Hopefully things are back up soon!!

I have had very little luck calling any DR cell phones in the last week or so. In fact even calling landlines has been iffy. I get a wide range of error messages etc. At first I thought it was my calling card, but I have tried several and since others here are having similar results. . . .

Still having problems today connecting from T.O. to POP. I've also tried other calling cards thinking it was just the company, but it seems to be everywhere. I even contacted Bell Canada because I couldn't connect directly from a Bell land line and they said the problem was on the receiving end and to keep trying. I'm pretty persistent though and I usually end up connecting after about 20 consecutive attempts. It's so frustrating! I hope they resolve it shortly.
