Making phone calls in Laos

Hi,

When settling in Laos, one of the priorities is to be able to make phone calls.

How to proceed to get a landline installed in Laos?

What are the mobile operators?

What is your average monthly budget?

Thank you in advance for sharing your experience,

Maximilien

Landlines take time to get connected and with cheap call rates for mobiles it is by far the best way to get a prepaid SIM card for a mobile phone.
There are plenty of service providers to choose from for mobiles but costs are much the same for all. Lao Telecom provide landlines.
We have 7 mobiles in our house and a landline with total costs around $120 - $150 per month.
