Using a hotel or a pay phone - It would certainly be convenient to connect from your hotel, but normally hotels often charge a massive mark-up and the phone expenses could be very expensive.

Using Internet тЂ“ If you carry your own computer, more and more hotels, resorts, airports, cafes, and retailers are going Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity), becoming "hotspots" that offer free high-speed Wi-Fi access or charge a fee for usage. And, if you are without your own computer, there are plenty of cybercafУ©s in South Africa"s urban areas.
