Fixed lines are operated by Český Telecom (member of Telefónica group). There are numerous telephone boxes spread all around, especially near metro stations operating on coins or phone cards.

You can make international calls from any public phones. Just dial 00 before your country code. Some payphones accept coins and some only cards (telecards, known as telefoni karta). You can buy phone cards from newsagents, post offices, grocery stores and hotels. They come in 175 CZK and 320 CZK nominations. It is very cheap to use prepaid international calling cards. Most famous is Karta X (which you can buy from newsagents). Calls from hotels are usually much more expensive than a public phone. All phone numbers in the Czech Republic are 9 digits long no matter if they are local, long distance or mobile. All Prague landlines numbers begin with a 2. If you having any problems there is 1171 number to help you get through.
