Live from the operators, updated 2 November 2026. Prices are in US dollars and include our service fee; nothing is added at checkout. Enter the number above for the exact plans on that line.
Bank OTPs, banking apps and ID verification all need your home SIM active. A small recharge every validity cycle keeps it working while you're abroad.
Parents' phone out of balance? Recharge it from here with your card and they get it before you've closed the tab.
Same Slashtel account as your travel eSIM. One WhatsApp support line for both. Data without borders, in both directions.
Balance codes, customer care numbers and how long each Dominican Republic number stays active are on the Dominican Republic recharge page and each operator page (Claro, Altice, Viva).
Pay with a card from any country. Top up numbers in Dominican Republic with a Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay or Google Pay issued anywhere (debit or credit; prepaid and gift cards are not accepted). No local bank account, local wallet or local number needed.
Country code +1: how to call Dominican Republic and its number format.
To top up a Dominican Republic number from the USA, enter the 10 digit number such as (809) 234-5678 and pay from $3.89. Slashtel detects the operator from the number, so Claro, Altice and Viva plans appear once it is entered. Top-ups are delivered in minutes and paid by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Last checked: September 2026
A Dominican number uses the country code 1 and 10 digits, written as (809) 234-5678 or +1 809 234 5678. You enter that number, the operator is detected, and you choose a plan or airtime top-up. Payment is by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and the credit reaches the number in minutes.
Slashtel sells direct top-ups rather than vouchers, so there is no code to forward and nothing for the person in the Dominican Republic to redeem. The number itself is the destination.
If the number is new or was recently ported, the detected operator may not match what you expect. In that case, check the number with the person who uses it before paying.
The catalogue covers 33 plans across Claro, Claro Dominican Republic Data, Altice, Viva and Viva Dominican Republic Bundles. Amounts are shown in DOP and reflect what lands on the number after the operator's tax, so the figure you see is the figure credited.
Short validity bundles suit a quick top-up. Viva Dominican Republic Bundles offers 1GB for 1 day, 6GB for 7 days, 7GB with voice for 7 days and 14GB for 14 days. Claro Dominican Republic Data lists Free 6GB for 5 days, Free 8GB for 5 days, Free 12GB for 10 days and Free 7GB plus Social 7GB for 7 days.
Altice appears with a Paquetico 5GB plus 10 minutes bundle valid for 7 days, and with a DOP 326.43 recharge that credits 251.1 DOP. Straight airtime top-ups are also listed: Claro credits 344 DOP and Viva credits 351 DOP.
Airtime is the flexible option when you are not sure which bundle the person wants, because they can convert it themselves. Data bundles are the simpler choice when the need is known in advance.
People in the USA top up a Dominican number for two main reasons. Some keep their own Dominican line alive so it can receive bank OTPs and verification codes while they live abroad. Others pay for a family member's phone back home so that person stays reachable.
A number that is never topped up can lapse, and a lapsed number is difficult to recover. A small recurring top-up keeps the line registered and able to receive messages. That matters most for banking, since a Dominican bank will send one-time codes to the registered mobile number.
For a family member, the calculation is different. A data bundle with a set validity gives a predictable window, while airtime lets them choose. Both are paid from the USA in the same way.
The Dominican Republic uses country code 1 and 10 digit national numbers, so the international form is +1 809 234 5678. There is no leading zero to drop, unlike many other countries. Enter the number as it appears on the phone.
Mistyping a single digit can send the top-up to a different subscriber, and completed top-ups cannot be reversed. Read the number back before confirming payment.
If you are copying from a messaging app, remove spaces, brackets and dashes if the field rejects them, but keep all 10 digits. The example (809) 234-5678 contains 10 digits and no zero to remove.
Payment is made from the USA by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and plans start from $3.89. The operator is detected from the number, so you do not choose a network manually. If a plan is taxed by the operator, the amount shown is what lands on the number after that tax.
Because the amount displayed is the credited amount, there is no separate calculation to do. A bundle labelled 6GB credits 6GB, and an airtime top-up credits the figure shown in DOP.
Delivery is in minutes, which makes the service usable for a same-day request. Keep the confirmation so you can check the number if the credit does not appear.
Enter the 10 digit Dominican number, for example (809) 234-5678, and the operator is detected automatically. Choose a data bundle or airtime top-up, then pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The credit reaches the number in minutes, with no voucher code to forward.

Dominican numbers use country code 1 and 10 national digits, written as (809) 234-5678 or +1 809 234 5678. There is no leading zero to drop. Enter all 10 digits exactly as they appear on the phone to avoid crediting another subscriber.
