The communications infrastructure in the Czech Republic is quite sophisticated but organized somewhat differently to that of the rest of Europe or the United States.

Telephones

The majority of Czech citizens rely upon mobile phones for their communication needs. Residential telephone lines are relatively uncommon and obtaining one can take months of effort and red tape. Owning a mobile phone is virtually essential. If you are renting a house or apartment it is unlikely a residential line will be available. If you must have a dedicated home telephone line, contact the provider Czech Telecom. A fee of approximately CZK 3500 applies.

There are three primary mobile phone providers in the Czech Republic with a variety of plans to choose from. Mobile phone numbers are 9 digits in length and you can ascertain the provider by looking at the 3-digit prefix. Cell phone coverage is extensive throughout the Republic.
