849 area code summary

Area code 849 is one of three area codes used in the Dominican Republic, along with 809 and 829. It was added as an overlay to meet the rising demand for new phone numbers, particularly for mobile and business services. This area code covers the entire country, including major cities like Santo Domingo, Santiago, and Punta Cana. As the Dominican Republic’s economy continues to grow, fueled by tourism, construction, remittances, and telecom expansion, the 849 code has become increasingly common. With no geographic distinction from the other two area codes, 849 is assigned to both landlines and mobile devices throughout the island. For individuals and companies communicating internationally with the Dominican Republic, it’s important to know that 849 is a legitimate and standard part of the country's numbering plan.

Fun fact 💡

Santo Domingo’s Cathedral of Santa María, since 1541, is a 849 gem.
