Phone in Greece

• Hi,
  
  before anything else you will need a tax number (which you will need for almost everything anyway). If you have it alreade, fine.
  
  Second: Main provider is still former state-owned OTE. It depends on where you will live but things have really changed over the last years, connections (cables) are sufficient. This can be different in the countryside (we have applied for phonewire (copper-cable) ten years ago, not having one yet....). But in the cities, you should not have a problem getting connected.
  
  If I was in your shoes, I would consider to choose mobile (cellular) phone only. There are three big providers in Greece, rates are reasonable and if you depend on the internet, there are smart solutions via bluetooth that give you ISDN/DSL speed (which is not necessarily the case with wire-connection. Some rates even imply flatrates for internet surfing. Application for mobile phones is as easy as anywhere else - if you have your tax number
  
  Best wishes

  BTW: If you wish, tell me, where in Greece you will be living.
