international calls

What do you have to do to make an international call on Altice?

 

[melphis]

Your best bet is get on WhatsApp and have the people you want to call do the same. Then all you need is to be online then it's free calling.

Other than that you pretty much need a lot of pesos on your account or a phone plan that includes international calls.

Banks don't do WhatsApp. I'm not worried about the pesos. I xoomed $1000DOP into my account to try and get the bank to unlock my account. Now Altice won't let me use it for international. O yeah, the bank is thumbing its nose at xoom about the transfer, and xoom is pissed at me. Hahaha, what a fucking mess.

When my banks need to speak to me ( or me to them ), I explain that I am abroad and it is inconvenient for me to phone. They always propose to set a time, and they call me.

Maybe worth a try ?

I use Skype for international calls. Cheap.

Plan B is Skype. Load about it 10 dollars on it CDN or US and they charge about w cent per minute to North America. Slightly higher to Europe. Good luck

I use a VPN.... even to 800 calls go thru --- Claro is my cell provider

I second Skype. When you're abroad, you can set it up to make it look like you're calling from your normal cell phone number.

I mostly make calls to the US( 2 cents/min), so I have a US(Florida) number for contacts there to call me - it's the same as a domestic call for them.

All calls to the US on Claro count the same as a local call to the DR. I assume Altice is the same.

I think I pay a little more for US calls with Altice - 8 pesos/min vs 6 pesos/min(?). Skype is much cheaper if you're going to be on the phone for any length of time.

For US calls, I use Google Voice. US number and free.

 

[SantiagoDR]

In the past (Maybe the same for Altice).

For Claro it has been as follows:
(Very old informaton as I now have a U.S. number by Google).

Calling 800 numbers from D.R.

If 800 use 880

If 888 use 881

If 866 use 882

If 877 use 883

Easy way to do it? I tried…. Thx!

For US calls, I use Google Voice. US number and free.

It works for also when I am in DR.

For me, I meant.

It i interesting that this question has come up. I am with VIVA and I had until recently been able to make international calls to mobiles and landlines on my iPhone. Recently however my calls to UK landlines are not being connected but calls to mobile numbers are. I tried a test call to WU offices in Brussels and it connected as did calls to other European cities. I thought it might be a problem with the phone but I am thinking perhaps to just use my Skype.

short answer is no 800 calls on skype are free
