    you can try doing it yourself. Just google the topic and you will get some responses. The only problem with this is that you might try to purchase the code from a non-reputable website

    When in D.R. you can go to any phone store. The problem with this is time, knowledge, and technology. It can run you up2 2000rd depending on the phone.

    all those entail the same thing. purchasing the unlock code(s).... Hopefully your service provider can do it for free.

    Now that you mention it i have to unlock my phone....
    Smh I can't believe I'm just now doing this and you guys told me over a year ago. The code is very easy to get. I'm replacingmy beat up g2 droid and getting a brand new one thanks to my warranty (cost is 5 dollars) and later ill upgrade andhave a phone for the states and my new g2 for travel once I unlock it.

    My last trip to Sosua in Sept I took a AT & T iphone 3gs down that I thought was already unlocked. Turned out is was still locked and I ended up taking it to a couple different cell phone shops and neither one could get it unlocked.

    Once home I was able to get it unlocked through AT & T but it was a process that ultimately included an upgrade to ios 6 through an Itunes restore.

    This was a rather lengthy process so if your thinking about taking a newer iphone you might want to make sure it is unlocked before you get there.

    I took an iphone 3 on an earlier trip and was able to unlock it in a different manner with no issues and I think the DR phone guys would have been able to unlock that one as well.
