Does anyone forward their DR cell number to US or PR

[danieldelcaribe]

I want to get a cell phone number (809) and forward the calls to my office in Puerto Rico

 

[POP Bad Boy]

We forward both.........

.....our home phone land lines and cell phones to US numbers when travelling there with no problem.............

Do you incur any charges on your DR cell when it is call forwarded to the US and someone calls your DR number?

 

[POP Bad Boy]

Yes,

basically, it is OUR phone (either landline or cell) that is calling the US.............

We pay the same rate as if we called the US ourselves........

Thanks, that's what I figured but was hoping for another answer. :cheeky::bunny::bunny:

Thanks for the reply. Can I ask who your cell provider is and whats the charge per minute for the forwarded calls?

 

[POP Bad Boy]

Depends on which line..........

.......they call us on...........

Our "land" line with Codetel has the USA plan and the price per minute is ONLY 1.00 (one) peso 24 hours per day.........This is by far the best option that we have found......... The USA plan is a $100RD (one hundred) charge per month on your account........

Our cellular is a regular cellphone with a monthly bill (not prepaid) and the per minute charge is $3.20RD.....(which now that i'm looking at it, is going to make me call and see if they have a lower rate for cellphones.....i'll let ya know!)

Hope that helps!

Thanks it helps. Last question is the (829) area code very common. Do most Dominicans know this as a new area code?

 

[POP Bad Boy]

More common.........

........everyday............

although I still like the "809" better.............

Many times people will give you their cell number without the 829 and then you call the 809 and get the wrong person, then realize it must be 829.

I am not sure if any landlines have the 829 code yet or if it is just cellular........

829 is not reserved for cellular numbers. It is an overlay code for 809, since there was not enough numbers.

You might have to go to several phone shops, but 809 numbers are "available", it might take a few try's.

It is a P.I.T.A. to move numbers without a cedula these days, not impossible!

If you need a DR number, there is fixed-cost, less expensive solution than forwarding the calls.

Linea 809

Codetel


You can also get 809 number via Skype (they use digitec)

buy a new cell

Look, buy an Iphone clone, you will have a cell phone that supports 2 sim cards. After you activate that cell phone with for example Claro, you can receive calls from the DR and not get charged (you just call 1-220-1111 to activate roaming) and then you get a sim from whichever company you like in Puerto Rico to receive/make calls in puerto rico.

I hope this helped you.

You DO get CHARGED for receiving calls in ROAMING
