Okay I can Hook up ,with either Claro or tri whatever but I have a ph #from orange can I still keep that or do I need a new #. Thanks for all the knowledge provided I thought for sure I bought a DUD!!!!

Should be able to..."Portabilidad Numerica" or the ability to transfer your number to a different phone operator was implemented in The DR a couple of years back. If I was you though I would just get a new number (unless your Orange number is for an established business). Less hassle and will allow you to cut off those people you don't want to have your number...at least for a while. You know the "Ay papi he tratado de llamarte mucho porque tu sabes mi mama esta enferma y necesito que me "preste" algo de dinero..." type. This should work at least until you give them your new number...

BTW as a side bar it looks like Orange has upgraded their network big time (Apparently they have 4G LTE now in some areas). I've noticed a huge speed difference (Internet movil) even in Cotui, where they definitely do not have 4G, this last time I was down there. They're almost twice as expensive as Claro, but worth it IMO if you want to do anything significant on the internet.
