Trying to see if that is something of their 'culture' of if they just don't want to take the time to call. I know it is not that expensive for a three minute call to Canada-it's cheaper there than from here to there.
Any thoughts?

Don't be discouraged. But is a male thing, dominican men don't go around calling each other on the phone and having conversations. Its easier for them to have a conversation over a few "grandes bien frias" than to get on the phone and call u. Its all in good fun.
I see it allthe time in my family we have many friends and relatives that we "hang out with, drink and be merry" when we go there, we leave and don't talk for a while then we get together again and its like we never left. We don't reproach(sp.?) each other when we meet again, or anything, we just pick up where we left it, and everyone is happy.
