Hello all !!! I know there are numerous threads about cell phones and sim cards, but I still cannot understand it...I am going to be in the DR for 2 months and need a cel phone. My current provider here in Canada is Telus, but my phone cannot be use internationally.

Money is a factor, so should I buy and "unlocked" phone here, on Ebay and then bring it there or can I buy/rent a cell phone from there ?

What is best, as I have NO CLUE !!!! NONE !!! :bunny:

You can buy a decent working, slightly used or reconditioned, phone for
RD$1200, @ any phone store, includes a few hundred pre-paid Pesos and avoid the eBay BS!
