: Just booked my first trip to Punta Cana - need to call home to assure all of my safe arrival. Cell phone (Nextel doesn't work in the area)and my parents aren't computer friendly so e-mail is out.

:Thank you!!
Well if you are calling just to say you arrived you can call from the airport, last time I used one of the call centers in Puerto Plata it was RD$7/minute, so a 4 minute call for US$1.
Of course if is just to see if your plane didn't crash your loved ones could just call the airline about a half hour after expected arrival and ask them, probably a toll free number too!
You can also rent a cell phone down there if you plan on making several calls.
