If this is the phone you use in the US with Verizon, I would not recommend having it activated in the DR. It will work all right, but getting it to work again back home after the Dominican "technico" is through with it may be another matter. If you want to use the same phone you use in the US in the DR, you need to get a GSM phone from AT&T or T-Mobile (Rogers in Canada) and just buy a Claro or Orange sim card for it.
Not quite correct.
I have a Motorola E815 Dual NAM CDMA Phone.
In NAM1 I have my
AllTel Florida number, in NAM2 I have my
Claro D.R. number.
I manually switch back-and-forth when I travel.
The only thing you need to worry about with the Dual NAM phones is to make sure the "Technico" puts the D.R. number in NAM2. By force of habit, they like to just put it into NAM1, thus wiping out your U.S. number.
One should take note that this same phone with
SPRINT as the provider, would only have NAM1. They program it that way as they want you to use it in roaming and collect big bucks from you.
Just another way to rip-off the non-savvy consumer.
