The Dominican Republic shares +1 with the US and Canada, so you dial 1, the area code and seven digits, with no 011. From Spain and the rest of Europe, put 00 1 in front. Three area codes cover the whole country, and none of them reveals if the phone is a mobile.

New York time half the year. Never Madrid time.
The Dominican Republic stays on Atlantic time, UTC-4, all year. When the US moves its clocks, the gap to the East Coast opens and closes; from Spain and Italy it is always a morning-versus-afternoon call.

Calling the Dominican Republic: your questions
Reviewed 29 October 2026.
What is the country code for the Dominican Republic?
The Dominican Republic is +1, the same as the USA and Canada. After the 1 come one of three area codes, 809, 829 or 849, and seven digits: +1 809 555 1234.
How do I call the Dominican Republic from the USA?
Dial 1, the area code and the number: 1 809 555 1234. There is no 011 to dial, because the Dominican Republic is inside the +1 area. Even so, most US plans bill it as an international call. From a mobile or SIP app, +1 809 works too.
How do I call the Dominican Republic from Spain, Italy or the UK?
Dial 00 1, then the area code and the number: 00 1 809 555 1234. From Australia dial 0011 1. On a mobile or SIP app, +1 works everywhere.
Which area code is Santo Domingo or Santiago?
All three. 809, 829 and 849 cover the whole country, so a Santo Domingo landline can be 809 and a Santiago mobile 849. The code does not tell you the town, or whether the number is a mobile.
Is 829 a mobile number?
Not necessarily. 829 was added in 2005 when 809 was filling up, and 849 came later; each is used for mobiles and landlines alike. With us it does not matter: every Dominican number costs $0.0725 a minute.
Is it more expensive to call a Dominican mobile?
With some providers, yes, even though the number does not say whether it is a mobile. With us, mobiles and landlines on all three area codes cost the same, billed by the second.
What time is it in the Dominican Republic?
The Dominican Republic keeps Atlantic time, UTC-4, the whole year and never moves its clocks. It matches New York from March to November and is an hour ahead from November to March. It is 5 hours behind Madrid in winter and 6 in summer.
What does a call to the Dominican Republic cost?
$0.0725 a minute to any 809, 829 or 849 number, mobile or landline, charged by the second with no fee to connect. Thirty minutes with Mami costs $2.18, and $20 buys 275 minutes.
Should I call back a missed call from 809?
Only if you know the number. Missed calls from unfamiliar 809 and other Caribbean +1 numbers are a known trick to get people to call back at international rates. Call the people you know on the number you have saved.
Can a company in the US run its Dominican team's calls through LinkedSIP?
Yes. Add LinkedSIP as a trunk on your PBX and route 1 809, 1 829 and 1 849 through it. The calculator above shows a month's cost for your team size, and the prepaid balance caps the spend.
Do I need a Dominican Republic calling card?
No. From the US you dial 1, the area code and seven digits, with nothing in front; from Spain or Italy, 00 1 first. One rate, $0.0725 a minute, covers all three area codes, charged by the second.
Every Dominican phone, one rate. 275 minutes for $20.
Your first call to the DR takes an email address, a $20 crypto top-up and ten digits after the 1: 809, 829 or 849, then the number. No 011. How sign-up and top-ups work.
