THE GAME said:at&t, cingular, nextel/boost, t-mobile phones will not work with verizon DR.
suarezn said:Yes. I take my Sprint phone down with me every time I go and get it activated down there, then activate it back with Sprint when I get back. Most likely you will need a code that some places can get for you for about 300 pesos.

THE GAME said:the phones that work with orange and in the US are the ones that
have GSM technology,,, with the sim card inside.
orange operates on 1800/1900 frequency... most gsm phones are
800/1800/1900 bands. Some are only 800/1900... but as long as they're
1900 they can be activated with orange. Just take it to orange and they
will give you the sim card.. when you go back to the states you can put
back the cingular or t-mobile sim card and bang you're back in US business.
