Cellular
and mobile telephones
There is an effective coverage of cellular phone service through
the entire Country. Despite our difficult geography, it's possible
to communicate from remote areas such as the Amazon jungle or the
Galapagos Islands, but some isolated places like the highlands or
the mangroves may be a little bit harder. At the international airports
or at the cellular phone shops you can rent mobile telephones.Cellular
phone cabins are also very common. They work with cards, and you
may find these cabins and the cards at gas stations, restaurants,
streets, malls and airports.

Internet
The internet is also very popular
in all the cities and towns. There are hundreds of "coffee-nets"
in the commercial and touristic areas that offer net2phone, email,
internet and fax services at very reasonable prices.Internet is
expanding very fast and is easy to find at least one computer center
at any neighborhood of a big city. Service in this places is better
in touristic areas, and the rates may depend on the category of
the computer center, but rates are cheap most of the times.

Mail
The traditional mail service is pretty good too. In urban centers
it is faster and more effective rather than in small country-side
towns so it's better to wait until you reach a post office to send
a card or a box. Mailboxes are not very common but in Ecuador, so
you may have to find the post offices. Also at many hotels you will
find this service.Mail is cheap compared to other countries in the
region. There are also many private mail companies and their rates
may vary depending on the service.
