Phone line

Nov: I was initially told at the CV Telecom office that I needed to have a Residency Card before being to apply for a phone line, not sure if they meant for residential or business (or both).

I went back and said I had been told I didn't need a Residency Card (am told these can take 4yrs to obtain), so I was then asked to provide a copy of my passport, a copy of my company registration document and a copy of my Modelo - 110 form which gives my NIF number (my taxation number in CV).

This has been provided and it looks like I get my phone installed in the next 2 weeks!!! No- this is Cape Verde!!!! Anyway it was installed at the end December. You can also apply for a Dial Up internet connection off your phone line, while waiting for an ADSL or hopefully wireless system. Having internet access at home is much better than using the Internet Cafe's.
