The Dominican Republic is outside the US. A call to an 829 number is an international call even though it is dialed like a US number (1 + 10 digits), and it can be expensive. Do not call back an unknown 829 number after a missed call - this is a common one-ring scam. Overlay: the same area is also served by area codes 809 and 849, so local calls need all 10 digits.
An area code does not prove where the caller is. People keep their number when they move or switch carriers, internet phone (VoIP) services hand out numbers in any area code, and scammers often fake a local area code (neighbor spoofing) to get you to pick up.
