Sending SMS to Dominican Republic
The Dominican Republic uses +1 across three area codes — 809, 829 and 849 — more than most Caribbean states, reflecting its larger population. Spanish is official. It shares Hispaniola with Haiti, which sits outside the +1 plan entirely.
How to dial Dominican Republic
Every part of the number, laid out separately, then the same thing written the way an API expects it.
+1 — +1 followed by the national number
From abroad, replace your exit code with +, then 1, then the national number — dropping the national trunk prefix if the country uses one (a leading 0 in most, though not in this numbering plan). Store numbers in E.164 (+1…) and they work from any country and any API.
