There are three main mobile network providers in the Czech Republic – Vodafone, T-Mobile, and Telefónica O2. All are comparable in terms of services and prices offered. But every company has its niche! Be sure to compare offers before you buy.
The price of a prepaid SIM card differs according to the services and usually costs around 350–700 CZK/month with calls, SMS, and mobile data included.
There are many local providers which offer a wide range of options in terms of speed etc. It is a good idea to ask about the options also while arranging a mobile service.
Restaurants, some shops, or shopping centres offer free Wi-Fi. You can catch it even in selected trams or at stops. There is also a free Wi-Fi service on the campus – eduroam (login instructions are available on the university website). However, we recommend you get mobile service as soon as possible.
Also on the territory of UCT and in dormitories Sázava and Volha you can access WI-FI - vscht (for free)
Tip 1: Ask the International Department of UCT Prague for a free sim card (Czech number + 3 GB of data for starters always helps).
Tip 2: Around 25 % of all Czech internet searches are made via Seznam.cz. Check this website out and see where Czechs get their information day in day out.
