Phone cards

Is it good for me to buy a phone card here in the U.S. or should I wait til I get to D.R. to buy one. I heard that the 1-800 numbers are long distance numbers in D.R. Is that true? If there is a good card I can buy off the net please let me know.
thanks
You can buy phone cards all over the place here and it may make more sense.
Are you staying in someone's private house when you get here?
Otherwise, you would do better to just use one of the long distance cafes, assuming you are going to a tourist town where they are all over the place.
And yes, 1-800 numbers are long distance here.
You have to change the 800 to 880 and you are charged the same long distance rate as if you were calling a regular phone.
