Ask for PrePago. They all have it.

Claro has it. You need to top it up every few weeks to keep it active.

All companies now have eSim, Just tell you want to witch your number to eSim. Im using in my Iphone 2 lines. Main line for calls and 2nd. line use it for Data only with VIVA. Im saving my plan Gb to use it while Im on vacations as roaming and If I visit an area that its not serve by VIVA, so while at home and work Im using Wifi

Go by a prepaid cell card from Altice or Claro. You can even buy one in the street of the main shopping areas or main park of whichever town/ city for around 80 pesos. Add credit in your local colmado or local Banca (Loteka, Suerta, Bingo) and you can then activate an internet plan on your phone for as little as 49 pesos.

Altice does not have a pay as you go eSim. Offered package only.

Phone only holds eSims. No card slot.

I thought eSim cards were "physically" attached to the phone, already built in.

They are digital sim cards. You still need to get the coded in from your carrier. Relatively new and allow you to add more than 1 sim to a phone.

I hate progress. Unless it's new dive gear.

Nope

No, they're just digital. New iPhones don't have physical SIM card slots.

You can add up to 8 eSIMs on your iPhone but only 2 can be active at once. With some carriers (none in the DR that I'm aware of but in US/Europe) you can set them up online, just scan a QR code, pick your service plan, and you're all set.

Yes some have both

 

[AlaPlaya]

Yes some have both

iPhones made for the US market do not have physical SIMs anymore. Which is where most (if not all) iPhones imported into the DR are made for.
