Do you have any recommendations regarding mobile phones? Did you keep your home-country plan or use a local provider?
You cannot live here without a cell phone. Most people only have a cell for business and you cannot call a cell number from a normal local phone. There are almost no public phones. If possible wait for one of the periods when Qtel discount the package for your second family phone, but buy one on your first day in town. QR300 (CAD$100) for the Qtel sevice - you need a copy of your ID. You can generally buy a cheap phone from Carrefour or other vendors. - Feb 2007
