If your house/apartment does not have a phone hooked up for you and you plan on having one, go to Cable & Wireless http://www.candw.com as soon as possible in St. Georges, or there will usually be a representative on campus during the first week of school. Installation is promised within 9 business days, or else your installation fee is returned. There is a large deposit and installation fee charged to students and expatriates, that usually costs around $500EC. In order to get this fee reduced somewhat, a letter is available in the Chancellery stating the owner of the phone is a student. Be sure to get this letter before you go to sign up for a phone.

Internet service is readily available in Grenada as well, also through Cable & Wireless. Again, a large deposit and installation fee is charged. Currently, unlimited internet use is not available. Cable & Wireless offers several rate plans, for example 20 hours per month is $60EC, while 30 hours is $80EC. If you go above your allotted time, you will be charged by the hour, depending on which rate plan you have chosen, an average of $6EC per hour is standard.
