Does anyone know what a "pay as you go" mobile phone costs in the DR and where is a good place to buy one? I want to buy one for a friend so we can talk more.

Going to the Verizon booth in Mason's supermarket and picking up a cheap reconditioned phone for RD $800 Pesos activated with a free card.

Thanks for the tip Larry but where is Mason's? My friend is in Puerto Plata.

Same situation, same deal

at the Verizon booth in the Western Union on the carretera. Eastend of PP across from the Plaza Tourista. Added benefit is that you can exchange your money at what is usually a competitive rate while you are there.
