You can buy a NEW Orange phone if you don't need to take pictures etc., for RD$1000 or so, or less than US$20 , in which case US$25 a week to rent one is pretty dumb. Brand new phones are a deal and a half in the DR, and the service is adequate. so don't rent, don't bring one and roam, don't bring some old one and spend 1/2 a day getting it unlocked and activated, buy one, use it, give it away when you go as a gift.
