Mobile phone are not widely spread within the country and the networks are expensive, unreliable, primitive and only cover certain urban areas. A mobile phone user usually pay to make call and to receive call, he will also usually have no signal when he reaches the nearest mountains or hills.
Internet cafés are rare and will only be existing in main urban and touristic centre. They are usually not used by locals, so it is possible that nobody knows if there is one in the surrounding. In rural areas, Internet might not even exists or be limited to dial-up only. In most Canadian cities and towns of significant size, there are public libraries which offer free internet access to the general public - regardless of where you are from. This is generally the best bet for travelers without their own computer or access to a friend's. If there are several people waiting to use them though, you may have to wait a while for one to be available. You'll usually be given a time block of anywhere from 15 minutes to one hour. Colleges Many college and Universities are usually providing huge computer classes university libraries also provide free internet access to the public. Ask the circulation desk staff for their students a ''guest account''; but those are only accessible with username you may need a driver's license or other government-issued photo ID. College and passworduniversity guest accounts will let you use the Internet as much as you like, it might be worth to ask though people might be keen enough to help you with itbut only for the current day.
