it depends which card you buy for which country and also matters if you are calling cell phones or house phones... you get more minutes for calling a DR house phone... INC is one of the best cards to use from NYC to DR.... Blah Blah Blah is another

I use Platano NY ...it has the dominican flag right on it and I buy the $5 card and the store gives me 20% off, so I just pay $4 and it gives me 1.5 hours calling a cell phone. When you first dial in, it says the card is good for 3 hours and 41 minutes, etc....but with all that 3 minute rounding bull shit and taxes, it lasts about 1.5 hours.

The site listed on the card is http://www.MTCcard.com

Hope this helps someone.

have you ever used this card before?

Be careful when using calling cards. This is another system set up similar to the car buying/leasing disaster. There are all these variables: connection fee, rounding, tax, weekly or semi-monthly charges, etc. Most rates that you see advertised are for house phones. Cell phone charges to DR or anywhere else are much more expensive. No bullshit, if you are calling often, it's worth it to have a line installed in her house. But careful, the whole freaking town will be making calls on her phone. Anyway, I've learned the hard way with these cards. You have to read the fine print. I use www.uniontelecard.com often. Don't give up searching the net for better deals. Also, you have to consider reliability. I have had many problems with some carriers.

Like Mister NYC said PLATANO is a good calling card and if you are from nyc & jersy you are in good luck, also with my experience always get the phone card that is new and just came out they tend to have more minutes.

I use STI, which was giving me 4 cents a minute when I used to call my ex-novia, but that was on her house phone. I noticed my most recent card burning fast and I went to the website to check the rates and it seems like the rate is much higher for calling a Dominican cell phone - 10 cents a minute!!!! That is more than double the house rate. I need to confirm this tomorrow because the office is closed after 9 pm. This would be fucked up though. I'm gonna have to check out cards that have better rates for cell phones if this is in fact the case.

Yeah Ron, you tell em! Like I said....the discount is offered at the local bodega near where I live on select phone cards to anyone I guess...I just know that I buy a lot of these weekly for my communication needs back to the island, etc. I think it's damn good at about 4.4 cents a minute. I tried so many in my short life....another one was Black Diamond...i believe by the same company....the phone card industry is dominated by two companies alone that account for about 90% of the cards you see out there except that they are just in different packaging. I've been lucky by giving these other smaller companies a try.
