A rebuilt cell phone is a possibility. There is at least once business in the Sosua area that sells them for around RD$2000 and I would expect them to be available in Puerto Plata as well. These are phones, most from the US, that were turned in by people upgrading. The phones were then reconditioned and are now being offered for sale with a one month guarantee. With one of those phones and a phone card, you are in business.
The sticker in your post is the desire to receive calls. Otherwise calling from the local Codetel office would be the best way to call people at home.
Have you considered having people call you at the hotel during a certain time period? For outgoing calls, go to a Codetel office since calls from hotels are usually very expensive.
