Founded in 1883 as All America Cables & Radio Dominican Republic (an ITT subsidiary), the company was the country's first telecom to offer telegraph services to the Antilles.

In January 2000, Centennial Communications purchased 70% of the company, forming Centennial Dominicana.[1] The company later launched a CDMA2000 network and provided Internet services over EVDO.

On November 24, 2006 Centennial Communications announced that they were selling 100% of Centennial Dominicana to Trilogy International Partners for US$80M.[2] In April 2008, Centennial announced a rename to Viva and launched their GSM/GPRS/EDGE network.[3] At the end of 2015 the Telemicro group owned by the business man Juan Ramon Gomez Diaz acquired the operations of Trilogy Dominicana. In August 2017 Viva launched a new 4x4 MIMO 4G LTE network.[4]
