I broke my cell phone this morning.
And I tried to get it repaired, but the repair cost was similar to the price of a cell phone.
So I bought a new cell phone in plaza central, but I can not use it as an unknown cause in 2 hours.
even i didn't put it out of my bag.
I could not speak Spanish so I had to leave the store as it was.
I wanna know. A reliable cell phone shop.
thank you for all :)

iN sOSUA ON pEDRO cLISANTE, 50 YARDS EAST OF bANCO sANTA cRUZ, ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE STREET IS A CELL Phone store. Run by an expat who has been in the business for a couple of decades. His name is Thomas & is my downstairs neighbor. He has a good reputation. I buy from him.  If you need contact info, let me know. This is a very large country, wherever you are I'm sure you will receive some places to try.

How about telling us where you are, then maybe we can help!

Based upon another earlier post, I am assuming you are referring to Plaza Central in Santo Domingo, which is a place where many would go or recommend to find a replacement cell phone or indeed a repair. But there are some cowboys there and I few got raided a year or so back and cell phones confiscated.

There are many in this plaza both large and small and I am sure if you try, you will find one that speaks English.

A quick 'google' comes up with a company in Plaza Central posting a Facebook page in English with good recommendations, so maybe give them a shot.

Best of luck.

Santo Domingo there are many many shops.  Where we have gone is on Calle Duarte,  near Chinatown.  I can get you a name if you want to go there!  Its completely across town for you.
