How do I dial mobiles vs landlines in Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic uses country code +1 as part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP). All phone numbers are 10 digits: area code (809/829/849) + 7-digit local number. From the U.S./Canada (also NANP), dial 1 + area code + number; from other countries, dial your international exit code (usually 011) → 1 → area code → seven digits. Calls placed from the Dominican Republic to non-NANP countries also use the 011 international prefix.

Mobiles vs landlines: Mobiles and landlines share the same three area codes—there are no separate “mobile area codes.” Because number portability has been active since September 30, 2009 (mobile and local), prefixes show the original allocation only—always dial the full +1 NPA NXX-XXXX exactly as written.

Emergency numbers (Dominican Republic):

911 — police / fire / ambulance.

Tourist Police (CESTUR) — +1 809 200 3500 (helpful outside Santo Domingo).

These are listed by UK FCDO and U.S. resources; availability of 911 coverage can vary by area.

Which mobile prefixes do mobile operators use in Dominican Republic
