We are looking for a good rate to call the Dominican Republic. I've always used my cell phone but at 22 cents a minute the bills really added up fast! Now that my husband is here we are looking for other options so he can call his family back home :) Thanks!!!!

For me, Skype was the best deal. It was still not cheap, but better than calling using my cell phone (25 cents a minute). Now, my husband goes to the "Mexican" markets and buys calling cards. A two dollar card gives half an hour of talk time if you use it all at one time (you can call cell phones). If your husband is calling a house phone, then he should look into the Rebtel or Boost Mobile deals for international calls (which are only applicable to landlines). We are not able to use such deals because nobody in his family or friends have a landline, they all carry cell phones.

You might try NobelCom. Granted, I haven't used it in a while, and I've never used it to call the D.R. However, it was very useful back in 2007 when I would call my then girlfriend in Europe for hours a day. The rates were great and IIRC there were no quality problems.

Looks like, if the number you're calling to is a landline, you can get between 3.4c and 5.5c per minute to the D.R. The low figure has a 99c weekly maintenance fee and 4 minute rounding, while the high figure has no maintenance fee and 1 second rounding. Would be up to you to determine which one seems more efficient for your case.

you can use google voice and it cost 11cents to a cell phone and like 5 to a land line. its been a life saver and if you need an invite (which im not sure you still do) inbox me.
