Nextel phone in dr?
If your cellphone use a microship the only company that use GSM tecnology is Orange, if you have the roaming service activated you phone maybe doesn't has the right PRL. the other companies use CDMA Tecnology
If don't want to use the roaming service you have the opticon to activate it with pre pay plan, the activation is free, you only need to know the telephone activation code, and program the PRL that cost about 50.00 pesos and that it.

Two members of my family have Nextel. It doesn't work in the DR and won't. The only option is to get an Orange account/phone and replace the chip in your Nextel phone with the Orange chip. A true pain.acmike said:
It's easier to have Nextel auto-forward your calls to a DR cell. Get the caller's number and call them back. The auto-forward isn't cheap but you don't miss calls.
You're right, nextel will not work in the DR unless you sign up for the international service plan and purchase the telephones that work with the service before you leave the US. I asked about it before leaving the US. The service is very high in price, $2.99 (US dollars) per minute, for incoming and outgoing calls.
