How to Dial the Dominican Republic From the US
The Dominican Republic shares the North American country code +1, just like the US and Canada. This makes calling the DR simpler than most international calls — but it can still be expensive without the right plan.
Dialling Format
From any US phone: 1 + area code + 7-digit number
The Dominican Republic uses three area codes: 809, 829, and 849.
💡
Because the DR uses country code +1, you dial it just like a US long-distance call. But carriers still charge international rates unless you have a plan.
Example Calls
