Although the telephone : Keeping in Touch

system was revamped several years ago, international lines are often overloaded, especially around holidays. The rare pay telephones are particularly erratic and require 5OfiIs regardless of whether or not your call goes through. If you ask shop owners where to find the nearest pay phone, they will probably invite you to use theirs as long as the call is local. Another option is to use a hotel phone, but be sure to inquire about surcharges before doing so. Note that telephone offices, though separate from post offices, are usually next door.
