I just found a calling card with an excellent rate to the DR. It's called the Apple Phone Card and it's only 11.5 cents/minute with no connection fee! A much better rate than you get with Bell Canada ($1.59/minute).

Re: Why would you recommend a more expensive card?
Why would someone pay 21 cent/min. when they can pay less with the calling cards mentioned here on the board that also have no connection fee? Am I missing something about your recommendation for the Ci Ci card?

I've actually found that some DR cell #s are #s
that are really designated for other Caribbean Islands...like Jamaica, for example. So I thought I was getting the DR rate but was actually charged the JA rate! Yikes!!!

Re: OK, but why, in your experience?
With all the phone cards I have purchased never have I been charged more for calling hubby's cell. Sometimes I don't even get my minutes taken off, I guess the card doesn't notice the conection.

Re: Beware - expensive when calling a cell in the
When I bought a card from Encore, the chart said I had 62 minutes; but when I called a cell phone from Canada to POP the message said I only had 28 minutes - and, after talking about 15 minutes I was cut off and couldn't use the card again!
This also happened with another card, can't remember the name.
I now always use Ci Ci or Ola.

From the same company
The phone card mentioned by Deb (Apple & Orange) are also distributed by Goldline (Ola, CiCi, Travel, etc, etc). Some of the phone cards charge by minute increments while others on 3 min ones. Ask at the place you buy your cards from. They should be able to tell you the differences. Most of the phone cards will note the fact that calls to overseas cellular phones are more expensive. Not sure why...most probably the type of networks used...landlines as supposed to satellites, etc. I find some of the phone cards issued by Millenium to be very reasonable. The Nuestro Mundo gives you 451 minutes to the DR on a $20 card. Connection fee: $1.99
