== Telephone system ==
{{See also |Telephone numbers in Zimbabwe}}
The phone system was once one of the best in [[Africa]], but now suffers from poor maintenance; more than 100,000 outstanding requests for connection despite an equally large number of installed but unused main lines.

Main lines in use: 356,000 (2011)

The domestic system consists of microwave radio relay links, open-wire lines, radiotelephone communication stations, fixed wireless local loop installations, and a substantial mobile cellular network; Internet connection is available in most major towns that includes [[Harare]], [[Gweru]] [[Bulawayo]], [[Mutare]] through fiber optic and other remote parts through satellite communication

International: country code – 263; satellite earth stations – 2 [[Intelsat]]; two international digital gateway exchanges (in [[Harare]] and [[Gweru]]) (2010)

Mobile cellular:  9.2 million (2011)
