try this link:

Dominican Rep. Phone Cards. Lowest Long-Distance Rates. Variety of International Calling Cards.

just watch for maintenance fees and rounding the minutes.

lots to choose from and i use continental myself, mostly.

I have tried several calling cards but Enjoy Prepaid seems to work for me. The Emerald Plan is 6 cents per minute landline-landline. Caution, there is a $2 fee if your recharge is less than $40.

I agree with Chirimoya, if both of you have Skype and an internet connection the call is FREE. Even with a webcam it is still free. OH, and Skype is also free.

Also, look into voicestick.com

I think its 7 cents a minute to a landline and they have a neat feature called ibridge, whcih allows you to call from your cell for the same rate.
