These codes were introduced on 1 July 1998 when the Dominican Republic switched from its old international dialling code of +800 to +1-809 and +1-829 for all incoming calls from abroad. This change was made so that all incoming calls would be routed through international carriers instead of neighbouring countries. This has helped increase security as well as improve call quality for customers calling into the Dominican Republic from abroad. Check programingplease for Dominican Republic in 2010.
