   Check with your phone service provider to ask about rates to call the DR. The DR is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), which means you can call from a cell phone or landline in North America the same way you would call any other North American number. However, calls to the Dominican Republic are still billed as long distance.^[1]
   

   • The NANP includes Canada, the USA, several US overseas territories, and islands in the Caribbean and Pacific Ocean.

   Dial an exit code first if you are calling from a country outside the NANP. Different countries have different prefixes that you need to dial to call out of that country internationally. Search online for the exit code for the country you want to call the DR from.^[2]
   

   • For example, if you are calling from Europe, dial “00” first.
   • You can look up exit codes at: https://www.howtocallabroad.com
