The number
As written
There is no exit code. The Dominican Republic is part of the same numbering plan as the United States and Canada, so you dial 1, then 809, 829 or 849, then the seven digits, exactly like a long-distance call inside the US. Dialling 011 first is the usual mistake and it fails.

03Cost
Basic rates from a US caller ID
Which of those applies is read off the digits you type, so you are never asked to guess whether a Dominican Republic number is a landline or a mobile. Services that ask you to pick quote one of these prices and are wrong whenever the guess is.

05Questions
Common questions
How do I call the Dominican Republic from the US?
Dial 1, then 1, then the Dominican Republic number. There is no exit code. The Dominican Republic is part of the same numbering plan as the United States and Canada, so you dial 1, then 809, 829 or 849, then the seven digits, exactly like a long-distance call inside the US. Dialling 011 first is the usual mistake and it fails. From a browser on Airlophone there is no exit code at all: you type the number starting +1 and the price for that exact number appears before it dials.
What is the country code for Dominican Republic?
+1. From the US you dial 1 first to leave the country, so the full string begins 1 1. From the UK and most of Europe the exit code is 00 instead, and from Australia it is 0011.
How much does it cost to call the Dominican Republic?
Basic calls to Dominican Republic start at $0.42/min for landline. From a US caller ID: landline $0.42/min, mobile $0.49/min. Professional adds $0.02/min to paid calls, whether recording is on or off. Connected calls are billed per minute, with part of a minute counting as a full minute. Enter the number to see its exact price before calling.
Can I use my own number as caller ID?
Yes, if the number is eligible. Verify that you control it once, then select it as your Verified Caller ID when you call. Some networks cannot present a number you own on every route, and the dialer confirms that before the call starts.
What is the best time to call the Dominican Republic from the US?
The Dominican Republic is on UTC-4 all year with no daylight saving, so it is an hour ahead of New York in winter and matches it in summer. Timing is never the constraint here.
Do I need an app or a SIM card?
No. Airlophone runs in a browser tab, so there is nothing to install and no SIM to buy, and it works the same on a laptop you have borrowed. The person you call needs nothing either: the call arrives on the ordinary phone network, so their phone rings whether it is a landline or a mobile and whether or not they have internet.
