Communications
The international dialling code for Belarus is
+375. To dial out on an international call dial 8, wait for the
tone, then dial 10 followed by the country code, area code and
number you are calling (e.g. 8-10 44 for the UK). Payphones are
widely available but most cannot be used to call internationally.
Payphones operate only on special cards, sold at post offices and
newspaper kiosks. There are four mobile network operators in
Belarus, two of which operate GSM networks. Coverage is good in the
major towns and along the highways, but not available in rural
areas. Mobile phones may be rented from local service providers.
The Internet can be accessed from a network of state run
(Beltelecom) cybercafés, and some private cafes, in the major
towns.
