Telephone calls

Most public phones require a telephone card, which can be bought at post offices, airports, railway stations, metro stations, big department stores, kiosks, newstands and hotels. There are three denominations: 50, 100 and 150 units. All telephone numbers now have 9 digits. If you find an old Prague 8-digit number, try adding a 2 at the beginning.

• International telephone calls
  You can use any payphone for placing an international call. You can also use post offices, which offer phone services where you can pay in cash for long-distance calls. Placing an international call at the post office will be more expensive. To make an international call from the Czech Republic you must first dial 00.

• Mobile phones
  More and more Czech and foreign students in the Czech Republic have mobile phones because of the lack of fixed phone lines in the dormitories. If you subscribe for at least one year, you can get a big discount for the telephone (there are companies which may even give it for free). Calls are more expensive than from fixed-line phones, but it is cheaper to call from one mobile phone to another mobile phone than from a fixed-line phone to a mobile one. You don’t have to subscribe to any service, you just buy a pack including telephone and a calling card (or only a card). If you are interested in getting a mobile phone you can choose from 3 operators – T-Mobile (www.t-mobile.cz), Vodafone (www.vodafone.cz), O2 (www.cz.o2.com/home/en/guidepost/index.html).
