Skip the web searching etc., just go to one of the 4 million-odd merchants that sell Orange cells and buy the cheapest NEW phone they have which should include RD$100 time, and if you ask nice both the phone display AND the service when you call to add time (with the cards) can be programmed in English. With the death of the peso it might cost US$30, e.g. RD$1500 or so but I bet you can still find the cheapo Motorolas for RD$1000 or so.
Or go to a compra venta (helpful to speak espanol) and see if they have one for less. Free incoming, even after the card expires actually, so if you don't plan to make a lot of calls the RD$100 card may be all you need.
