| Telephone: The international access code for Brazil is +55. The outgoing
code depends on what network is used (e.g. 0014 for Brasil
Telecom), which is followed by the relevant country code (e.g.
001444 for the United Kingdom). The area code for Brasilia is 61,
but the access code to make a call within the country from another
area also depends on what network is used (e.g. (014)61 for Brasil
Telecom). GSM 900and 1800 mobile phone networks cover the main
cities, and phones are available to rent. Internet cafes are widely
available. Every town has a central telephone office called a Posto
Telefonico, from where long distance calls can be made, and public
phone booths are everywhere, operated by phone cards. For cheaper
calls, visitors can connect to an operator at home and place a
credit card or collect call. Sending mail overseas is expensive,
but the postal system is generally reliable.
