Will my cellphone work in dominican?

Question

I live in Canada and im going to dominican Republic, will my cellphone work in dominican?

Answer 1

It really depends on your carrier and whether or not you have a world phone.  Sprint, T-Mobile, and AT&T usually work.  Just contact your service provider in advance and make sure your phone can be used abroad.  It can be expensive though, so only use it if you really have to.  Otherwise, just use a calling card.  Good luck!

Answer 2

Depending your provider and it can be expensive (roaming)

so it's better to use tel. cards and call the folks at home this way. Enjoy your stay

Yupp. well, mine did, i have verizone. But i think you shouldn't call anyone cause it will cost a lot more,becasue I sent a txt and it cost like 10$

Answer 9

Call your cellphone provider and tell them your travel plans and ask them IF your phone will work AND what the cost per minute would be. Some cell providers work well in the D.R. but are a bit expensive.

Answer 10

Most mobiles work in most countries.

Best thing to do is ring your service provider and check with them.

I haven't had to in the past but different providers have different policies.
