The main use will be for communicating with folks back home in the US, not calling local numbers while I'm in DR. I'm just looking for the most economical way.

I apologize in advance if this has been asked before.
You've got it! Having an unlocked phone is the way to go for sure. Your incoming calls will be free but check there rates for LD, I suspect they are high.
Perhaps you could set up an arrangement to text your folks back home when it is a good time for them to call you too as the rates from NA are generally a lot less.
