Frequently Asked Questions
Is calling Puerto Rico international?
No. Puerto Rico (787/939) and the US Virgin Islands (340) are US territories. Most major US cell plans include calls to these destinations as domestic. However, other Caribbean islands are international.
How do I call Jamaica from the US?
Dial 1 + 876 + the 7-digit number. It works exactly like a long-distance call within the US, but it is billed as an international call.
What is the cheapest way to call the Dominican Republic?
Using a VoIP service like StartACall is significantly cheaper than using AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile. You can avoid the high per-minute rates and pay a small fraction of the cost.
Do I need to dial 011 for the Bahamas?
No. The Bahamas uses area code 242 within the North American Numbering Plan. Just dial 1-242 followed by the number.
