This has been hashed and re-hashed so many times on the board, I know but please bear with me as when I searched I couldn't find anything that actually answered my question completely.
Here it is: Which phones bought outside of the DR are Orange or Verizon compatible?
I am under the impression that a triband unlocked or GSM (or 'world') phone works with an Orange SIM card .... is this correct?
What about Verizon?
Thanks for your patience!
Stay well,

Hi Amy, I know almost nothing about cell phones or computers! Very technically challenged! LOL!
I was in Cabarete in December and brought my Nokia cell phone wiith Cingular service with me. I counted on using it in airports to coordinate my back in the US pick ups! Well, the first night I was sitting on the beach at La Casita having dinner and wondered what time it was. I didnt have a watch and pulled my cell out to turn it on to see if I could still see the time on it. Well, to my shock I had a signal and a message from Orange saying welcome! I called my husband from the beach in Cabarete! How cool! Now, my girlfriend, who has the same service (Cingular) - her phone did not work.
When I got home I asked our sales guy and he said that my package included international and hers did not. Of course, it will cost about 2.00 per minute! I didnt use it much, thank goodness!
Now, the best part is that I wont get billed from Cingular until THEY get billed from Orange. He says it can take up to three months. And may not get billed at all! Ha! Only in the Dominican Republic!
It was very nice to have my cell phone working. I am so dependant on it! Even if I didnt use it much it was still nice to know it was there if I needed it!
So, this probably wont help you out at all. Just thought it was an interseting storey!
