809 and the one-ring scam
Because 809 looks like a US area code, it is a favourite of "one-ring" (wangiri) scams: the phone rings once, you call back, and the call is billed as international — sometimes with premium per-minute charges that go to the scammer.
If you do not know anyone in the Dominican Republic, do not call back a missed 809 call. Look the number up first, and ask your carrier to block outgoing international calls if you never make them.
About area code 809
809 entered service in 1958.
It is part of the 809/829/849 overlay: the codes cover the same area, and a new line there can be given a number in any of them. Two neighbours — or two phones in one household — can have different area codes. That is also why local calls need the full ten digits.
As the region grew, 242, 246, 264, 268, 284, 340, 345, 441, 473, 649, 664, 758, 767, 784, 787, 829, 849, 868, 869 and 876 were carved out of or added to 809.
