Default A place to get the SIM card?

Hi everyone!

Maybe someone knows what would be the best way for me to buy a local (orange?) SIM card on the way from the airport in Punta Cana to Iberostar resort? Are there any reseller stores (kiosks) in the airport? in the hotel?

Thanks in advance!

yeap,
tat Plaza`at Fruisa is named Plaza Larimar,
you can not miss the porange shop there, entre the parking place and on the right side middle of the small plaza grongfloor it is, big Ornage signs on. like written above $10.- per sim with 200 pesos credit on, it is located right on the way from the airport to the iberostar, 7-8 minutes before you rach the resort. you know when there when you see the Texaco gas station, plaza larimar is right across the street.
have fun
Mike

You can also buy a SIM card from VIVA (more retail stores than Orange) for RD$ 100 pesos, with the 100 pesos credit on it.
