Public telephones

Public card phones can be found on the street, at hotels and in post offices. Telephone cards are available at post offices; 50 unit cards cost 560 lek; 100 units 980 lek; 200 units 1800 lek. New cards should be wrapped in clear plastic. If you don't plan to talk away a whole card, you can rent one from the 'businessmen' often found lingering near the phones. Prices will run about 20 lek a unit.
