Area code 809 serves the Dominican Republic and is part of the North American Numbering Plan (NANP), making calls to and from this Caribbean nation easier for U.S. and Canadian residents. The area code covers the entire country, including major cities such as Santo Domingo, Santiago, and Punta Cana. The Dominican Republic has a vibrant economy driven by tourism, telecommunications, manufacturing, and remittances. It is one of the fastest-growing economies in Latin America and has strong ties to the U.S. through both business and diaspora communities. Major companies in the telecom, hospitality, and construction sectors use 809 numbers to offer local accessibility. While 809 is often associated with mobile and landline services, it has also been the target of international scam warnings, making it crucial for businesses to establish reputability and trust. That said, for legitimate companies operating in or targeting the Dominican market, a local 809 number provides essential access, credibility, and regional alignment with Caribbean communications standards.
