What is it with the Dominican Republic and this obsession with voice calls on mobile ´phones? Try and get almost anybody to send you an SMS or even better an email and they go deaf or something . You explain that you live in a bad signal area and that you can only receive SMS and they still leave messages on *777 which , of course, you cannot pickup until you go into town. It can´t be just down to the level of illiteracy because even lawyers, banks and government officials do it disregarding the obvious problems of mishearing or mistranscription. I note now that even the American Embassy is doing it . They have NO email address for Visas. I love the place but for some things its a sad, sad country where even those who should know better set no good example.
