Well as far as I know those rules have not changed.
My understanding is that for
Claro you have 60 days to keep the balance from expiring and 120 days to keep from loosing the number.
Orange you have 120 days to keep from loosing the number. Not entirely remembering how many days you have with Orange to keep the balance from expiring but I seem to remember it being a little longer than Claro (Someone else can clarify that)
If you are in the country and have Claro you can dial *122# and it will tell you what your balance is and when it expires
With Orange I think it is 453 or *141*# to check your balance but not sure.
I was in Puerto Plata in mid June and both my Claro and Orange numbers worked fine.
Both were obtained with my passport at the stores in Sosua about three years ago.
I also have a unregistered Claro card from the street and it also worked last trip.
I always keep them topped up via babblebug.com.
Next Wednesday I fly into Las Americas for a trip to La Romana. I desperatly need my phones data connections to work for buisness.
Will I need to re-register the sim cards, thst were origionaly purchased with my passport?
Does anybody know if there is a Orange and Claro store at the airport?
If neccessary, will I be able to purchase new cards with my passport?
My favorita will surely get me the new cards on her cedula if neccessary. I just hate to put them in her name and also dont want to loose my numbers.
Thnx..!!!
The entire reason for all of this is to have a verified name for each number. If you bought yours with your passport as ID, it's a safe guess it's registered in your name already, so you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
If they do suspend it, just call customer service and tell them and you should get it back up and running
If you think it's love try not paying in the morning..
"Do not regret growing older. It is a privilege denied to many."
It makes sense but I don't think it is working that way.
I purchased my sim card in a Claro store in Sosua 2 years ago and at that time it was registered in my name with my American passport.
Upon my arrival the end of June my Claro phone was not functional.
Your case might be different but be prepared for it to not work when you arrive.
Right. That's why I said "shouldn't" instead of "betting my life"
I mentioned before that I had a problem with all 60+ phones I have in my name with Claro and Orange. One phone call to each phone company rectified the situation. Both companies resolved the problem in less than 5 minutes.
I think they went a little overboard on shutting down numbers.
The way I understand it is that your number (sim) is now suspended until you re-register it. I have been told that with Claro, even a foreigner can do it on line with their passport, but who knows if that is true. The latest story I heard was that the system was now overloaded and not working. Whether true or not, it is believable.
Just back from a week in Santo Domingo. At Las Americas airport it took only minutes to confirm both my Claro and Orange sim cards. Both numbers worked on my June trip but would not work when I landed this time. Both are numbers I have had for three years and were origionaly registered with my passport. Interestingly neither store even looked at my passport. They typed in my number, my name came up. They asked me if the name was correct. I said correct. They typed a few keys on their laptop and presto the cards worked again.
My favorita brought me new cards just in case. She put them in her name. She was complaining because they told her she can only have three numbers now.
Bring on the next contestant
Same happened to me on a recent trip.
My sim was purchased in the store using my passport maybe 2 years ago, but did not work on arrival.
Stopped at the store in the airport. Was told I would have to go to the main office, but when I questioned that...she typed a few keys, and told me I would be good within the hour. 5 minutes later I was good to go.
My orange sim was finally suspended this past week. I went to the Orange store over by banco poplar. The chica clicked a few keys on the computer and I was back up and running. She didn't even ask for my ID. It took all of one minute and eleven seconds. And the sim isn't even registered in my name.
Same here as some of the previously mentioned. I have an Orange sim I purchased years back in my name. I arrived and put some minutes on it at a pharmacy, but calls/texts wouldn't go through. I went to the Orange store in Sosua and told them it wasn't working. After punching my number in the computer, he verified my name, punched a few more keys, and all was good again...........no identification needed.
