How to call the Dominican Republic from the US
The Dominican Republic shares the same +1 country code as the US and Canada under the North American Numbering Plan, which means Dominican numbers look exactly like US numbers – 1 plus a 3-digit area code plus a 7-digit subscriber number. The three area codes used in the DR are 809, 829, and 849. That superficial similarity can be misleading: dialling a Dominican area code from a US carrier still counts as an international call and is billed accordingly, often at significantly higher rates than calls to other Caribbean destinations.
Phonecall treats the DR as a separate destination and shows the correct rate before you dial, so there are no per-minute surprises on your card statement. The Dominican community in New York, Massachusetts, and New Jersey is one of the largest in the country, and weekend family calls to Santo Domingo, Santiago, and Puerto Plata are a daily use case. Per-second billing and credit that doesn't expire mean you can run an hour-long catch-up call without watching the clock.
The Dominican Republic is part of the North American Numbering Plan, so the country code is +1 (like the US and Canada). Dominican area codes are 809, 829, and 849. From the US, dial + 1 + the 10-digit Dominican number – but note your US carrier will bill it as an international call.

Frequently asked questions about calling Dominican Republic
Why is calling the Dominican Republic billed as international when it uses +1?
Even though the Dominican Republic shares the +1 country code under the North American Numbering Plan, it is a separate country with its own carriers and termination fees. US mobile and landline plans treat 809, 829, and 849 area codes as international destinations and bill them accordingly. Phonecall shows the DR-specific rate on this page so you know what you'll pay.
How do I tell a Dominican number from a US number?
Look at the area code. The three Dominican Republic area codes are 809, 829, and 849. Any 10-digit number starting with one of those after the +1 prefix is a Dominican number. All three cost the same per minute on Phonecall and connect to landlines and mobiles within the DR.
