Locked Cell phones

Good Afternoon,

I found a good deal on a phone at the time I thought which worked when I bought it but then later the carrier locked it. Does anyone know if you can use a locked cell phone from USA in DR?  I went to a few shops in Santo Domingo in the past and noticed cell phones there are pretty expensive.

Many places know how to unlock them!  And it's inexpensive to do so here.

Thanks Planner. I used to  be able to do it in US but my methods no longer work. Guy here quoted me $100 how much is it there?

Thank you planner.

Cost ranges depending on the phone but most expensive I have ever seen was 600 Rd. About 12 dollars

awesome thanks
