Calling the DR

Hi, I am from Illinois and I am trying to find the cheapest way to call my bestfriend who is in Santo Domingo for the entire summer. I found that using 10-10-297 was about 45 cents a minute. I was wondering if a calling card would be cheaper, but I know that he had taken a couple of calling cards down with him and they do not work in the DR, I didn't know if it would be the same for me calling there. Any suggestions would be appreciated! I was also wondering about the mail system. Any idea how long it would take for a letter to reach the DR from the United States? Thank you!

I have been using 1-800 225-438 .22-.24 cents per minute. There is no seet up or rounding of minutes

This subject has been discussed at great length in the past couple weeks. Do a search and you will learn about all the options.

How are you getting US$0.22/min.? IDT's rates are US$0.24/min.

Tom can you please repeat that 1 800 number looks like a number is missing. thanks

I have been using teh IDT since last week to call, and it is about .24/minute. As far as mail, it has taken me as long as 3 weeks to get a letter there, however most of my mail is averaging 5-7 business days. Have mailed stuff on Friday and they recieved the folowing friday. about the same time coming this way. Jerry

Hello,

does anyone know if its possible to get a 1800 number? whats the cost and how to get one?

thanks

Any long distance provider will sell you an 800 number. I have a couple myself. I'm not sure how that applies to calling the DR though. They range from free with minimum usages to about US$10/mo.
