About the payphones in Czech Republic

MEXICO | Wednesday, 25 April 2012 | Views [640]

So here's a tip about the payphones in Prague... do not use them.

Apparently it would only provoke laughs.

Or that's what happened when I happily went to a coin phone in the street trying to reach my new friends at their hostel: I read the instructions, dial and then put the coins. Fine. Number number, coin coin. Nothing. Coin coin. Still waiting. Maybe more coins. Call ended. Mmmm that can't be right. Well who gets it right the first time :D

So once again, number number, coin coin coin coin coin. Let's see how that works... call ended. Jesus I need help, the phone just rob me!

Luckily a police man was just walking by, so I ran to ask about the phones and how did they actually worked. That's when the laugh came. He said 'they don't work, they only swallow the coins. Everybody knows that'. Well I didn't... but thanks anyways.

'You should buy a Prepaid Calling Card'... yeah ok thanks officer.

I just got the bus to their hostel and avoid any further contact with phones. Seemed saver.

Anyways. You've been warned!
