Keeping in Touch

South Africa has an excellent telcommunications network.

• If you are visiting from abroad, you can hire a cell phone at the airport or at most of the major shopping centres.
• Blue public phones operate on coins (50c, R1 and R5 coins are best), while green public phones operate with local Telkom phone cards, which you can purchase in a variety of shops and post offices. Most public phones advertise the closest sale point.
• Local couriers can help you ship your purchases home and deal with formalities. Check with Cape Town Tourism Visitor Information Centres for contacts.
• Postage stamps are available at Post Offices as well as at some Cape Town Tourism Visitor Information Centres.
• Internet café charges are reasonable. You will find internet café facilities at some Cape Town Tourism Visitor Information Centres.
