There's a company selling Dominican Claro SIMs on eBay. AFAIK Claro has better coverage than Orange.

I thin you can easily buy a card once there.

From Claro's website:

So just passport is needed.

I've been to DR several times, and if you go on all-inclusive packages you may have a tough time buying one. Most resorts ban the sale of SIM and top-up cards on property and unless you're in a bigger town you may not find a store selling them.
