Internet
There are many Internet cafes in the Kombos area with new ones springing up on a regular basis. The two main servers are Gamtel and Quantumnet. In some areas, especially near major tourist hotels, wireless Internet has been set up.
Most of the cafes have broadband though some could still be dial-up. The cost is generally about D30/hour, some places charge less, some charge more. iLink is a great Internet cafe on Kairaba Avenue and offers the latest movies on DVD for around US$5.
Telephone
There are four mobile network providers in The Gambia, Africell, Comium, Qcell, and Gamcel. You can purchase SIM cards at the grocery stores and bitikos for around D100, depending on the provider and current promotion.
Credit scratch cards can be purchased in the same places. Gamtel offers land-line calls, both internal and international, and public tele-centres are found all over the country.
Post
Postal services are available, though mailing letters and postcards out of The Gambia is not reliable. Receiving mail while in The Gambia is not reliable either and can take months to arrive, if at all. Most buildings and homes do not have an actual address so post boxes are commonly used instead.
