How to Dial Haiti from the US
Dial 011 — the US international exit code (or press + on a mobile)
Dial 509 — Haiti's country code
Dial the 8-digit local number
Number Format Examples
Mobile: 011 509 3XXX XXXX or 4XXX XXXX
Landline: 011 509 2XXX XXXX
Common Mistakes
- Haiti uses a flat 8-digit numbering system with no area codes — dial all 8 digits directly after +509.
- Mobile numbers start with 3 or 4 (Digicel and Natcom), landlines start with 2.
- Do not confuse Haiti (+509) with the Dominican Republic (+1-809). They share the island of Hispaniola but have completely different country codes and dialing formats.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest way to call Haiti from the US?
Google Voice offers the lowest rate at $0.24/min, but requires a $10 minimum prepay and Google account. BubblyPhone starts at $0.42/min with just a $5 minimum top-up, no subscription, and bonus credit on larger top-ups. For callers who want straightforward pay-as-you-go without account hassles, BubblyPhone is a strong choice.
How much does a 10-minute call to Haiti cost?
With BubblyPhone, a 10-minute call to Haiti costs approximately $4.20–$8.30 depending on the carrier prefix. Compare that to T-Mobile at $30.00 (without a plan), Verizon at $14.90–$16.90, or AT&T at $10.00–$15.00.
Why are AT&T and Verizon so expensive for calls to Haiti?
Haiti is classified as a "premium destination" by major US carriers, partly because of infrastructure costs and limited competition. Verizon charges $1.49–$1.69/min and T-Mobile charges $3.00/min without a plan. These carriers profit from high base rates to push monthly add-on subscriptions. BubblyPhone offers competitive rates without requiring any monthly commitment.
Can I call Haiti mobile numbers, or only landlines?
BubblyPhone connects to both mobile and landline numbers in Haiti. Mobile numbers start with 3 or 4 (Digicel and Natcom networks), and landlines start with 2. Our system automatically routes to the best rate for each prefix.
Do I need to download an app to call Haiti?
No — BubblyPhone works directly in your web browser at bubblyphone.com. You can also download our iOS or Android app for a native experience. Either way, you get the same rates and call quality.
What time should I call Haiti from the US?
Haiti is in the Eastern Time zone — the same as New York, Miami, and Boston. Haiti also observes daylight saving time on the same US schedule. So there's zero time difference if you're on the East Coast. From Central Time, Haiti is 1 hour ahead; from Pacific Time, 3 hours ahead.
Are there any hidden fees or connection charges?
No hidden fees with BubblyPhone. You pay only for the minutes you use, billed per second. The minimum top-up is $5. Larger top-ups include bonus credit: $20 gets you $21, $50 gets you $55, and $100 gets you $110.
How much credit do I need to start calling Haiti?
The minimum top-up is $5, which gives you approximately 6–12 minutes of calling to Haiti depending on the prefix. For the best value, top up $20 and get $21 in credit (5% bonus), giving you roughly 25–50 minutes.
Can I get a transcript of my calls to Haiti?
Yes — BubblyPhone offers AI-powered transcription for just $0.01 per minute. After your call, you'll receive a written transcript and summary. It works with calls in English, French, and Haitian Creole.
Why not just use WhatsApp to call Haiti?
WhatsApp is excellent when both sides have smartphones with good internet. But internet connectivity in Haiti can be unreliable, especially outside Port-au-Prince. For calling landlines, businesses, or family members without smartphones or reliable data, BubblyPhone connects through the actual telephone network for consistent call quality.
Is Skype still available for calling Haiti?
No — Microsoft shut down Skype on May 5, 2025 and migrated users to Microsoft Teams. BubblyPhone is a straightforward alternative: no subscription required, competitive rates starting at $0.42/min, and you can start calling in under a minute.
Does BubblyPhone work for calling Haiti from outside the US?
Yes — BubblyPhone works from any country with an internet connection. Whether you're in the US, Canada, France, or anywhere else, you can call Haiti at the same competitive rates through the web app or mobile app.
