Post: The main post office is located close to Wenceslas Square in
Jindřišská street 14. This post office is open 24 hours. Prague's
postal service is quite reliable, but for important items it's best to
use registered mail using couriers like DHL or FEDEX. Most shops that
sell postcards also sell stamps as well as some hotels, so you do not
need to go to the post office. Just put your postcards in the postbox
- a distinctive orange colour with two mail slots. Postcards take
about a week to reach overseas destinations. Telephones: payphones
accept either coins or phone cards and are located everywhere in the
city centre, mainly near the metro stations. Phone cards are available
at newsagents and post offices. All Czech telephone numbers have nine
digits. The international code for the Czech Republic is 420. To call
the UK from Prague dial 00, then the country code: 44. Mobile phones:
Prague uses GSM 900/1800. Major mobile operators are: O2, Telefonica,
T-Mobile and Vodafone. Internet: you can find an Internet café on
almost every corner. Expect to be charged from 40 CZK to 120 CZK per
hour. Many coffee shops offer free Wi-Fi. Nearly all better hotels
have on-site Wi-Fi or data points in rooms.
