Notes on Dominican Republic Dialing
The Dominican Republic is part of the **North American Numbering Plan (NANP)**, sharing the country code +1 with the USA, Canada, and other Caribbean nations.
It uses three area codes: 809, 829, and 849. These are not tied to specific cities-**all three serve the entire country**, and numbers are assigned nationwide.
When calling from outside the NANP (e.g., from Europe), dial:
[Your Exit Code] + 1 + [809/829/849] + 7-digit number.
When calling from the US or Canada, simply dial: 1 + [area code] + 7-digit number.
