Please do not sent cellphones to Dominican Republic.
The parents buy only telephonecards and do not buy food for the children, because the Dominicans are phone-addicted.
totally agree to CHIP,
you can always try to do something illegally but don't cry after you got caught,
those recommendations in the first posts are worthless.
i have since several weks 40 baseballbags with baseball equipments stuck in customs, and they are declared a donation with the needed papers by the dominican embassador in Ottawa.
anyways,
cellphones cost here in the country close to nothing,
i assume the e-bay purchased stuff are old models, dominicans don't buy them, the guys always want the new stuff shown on TV as the "must have's".
older models you can get here in a shop for a few bucks, plug you chip in and they work. models from the US often have to get "approved" for the use here, that means you have to bring them to a shop where they open the code so they work, that costs you $30.- - $50.- per cellphone, more than the same phone purchased here and open for the service anyways.

i dont get when someone tries to answer a question with a answer that has nothing to do with a question. seriously sometimes i end up realizing i am talking in the dr1 forum

of how things can get out blown out of proportion--as I have said before, sometimes someone's simple question looking for a simple answer turns in to a fiasco....all of a sudden they are doing something illegal. People just go on and on...I believe the question asked was what is the best way to send cell phones?
I find it irritating that people assume so much without the facts...just my two cents!!
To the OP, I sent a cell phone to a friend by Canada Post Air Parcel one year ago...my friend still has not received it.
