The Arroz Con Pollo phone card gets you like 125 minutes to a land line for $5!
Communitel is the distributer. Most bodegas have these.
Just make sure the card has no "connection" fee and bills by the 15 second or less increment. NY to RD cell phones are about 2 x as much to dial.
According to my online billing which is charged to a credit card, I pay $0.079 per min. in USD. This is calling from the US on a cell to a cell in the DR. I purchase $25.00USD blocks at a time.
If you would like to PM me your email address I would be more than happy to forward a copy of my latest billing information.
I use this site Union Telecard
I buy the DSA National Green type and I get a ton of minutes calling land lines and certain cell phones (mostly Codetel's).
What I like about it is that I have my credit card info with them so buying is a snap and they give you the pin right then and there.
I'll take your word for it on the bill, Charlie. If Tel3 rounds by the minute, then it sounds like a very good deal. Like Suarezn, I have been using Union Telecard recently, but this sounds better.
