What is the cheapest way to phone to DR from Canada?

[Apos]

What is the best way, considering cost, to call the DR from Canada or the USA?

I imagine it is a calling card but I'm not sure. If so what is best and where in the TORONTO area carries them?

Thanks

My 800 tele service is out of Canada and I pay 15 cents a minute. I have the number at home at the moment.

I found some interesting stuff on DR1 http://www.dr1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31178&highlight=cheap+phone+Canada

DR1 is usually a good spot for this type of question.

See ya at Xmas.

I found phone cards the cheapest, depending if u r calling a land line phone or a cell phone (call cell phones is more). I think the going rate on the card I used was about 4c / min to a land phone!

The cheapest way for me is to use my work phone... i dont pay shit... but if you are not lucky enough to work for a billion dollar company that doesnt care about crazy phone bills you might wanna try a calling card called INC... it gives 59 minutes ($2 calling card) to a house phone from NYC to DR... about half that time to call a cell phone... sorry i dont know about Canada.

Haha about a year before I "discovered" the DR we put in a block for the 809 area code at corporate due to the long distance scams ran from the DR. :cry: I remember searching the internet for a DR phone number so I could test it, now I have 50+ numbers...

Of course the plant has an old phone system and the block isn't on the system there. :shock:

Set up a SkypeIn number on your novia's computer so she has a Canadian number and it will cost you about $44 CAD a year.

good plan but i need to call cellphones mostly :(

can we call both directions por nada that way?

[MisterPink]

If she has a SkypeIn with your Canadian area code, you can talk in both directions for FREE PLUS a small annual or 3 month subscription fee.

The Dominican Telephone mafia for some reason will not permit Skype to have 809 or 829 area codes.

It is much cheaper to call a land line vs Cell, as you know using a card from Canada. (About 1/2)

much cheaper to call a landline but it's cell only at her work unfortunately and she has dailup so no landline calls when on cam :(

i don't really mind the cost but get thru with a decent connection less than 50% of the time:confused:

i really need a good and affordable calling card
