In Niger, international calls to most countries can be dialed directly.  The country code for Niger is 227.  Cable, telex, fax, paging and Internet services are available.  A number of cyber cafés are located in Niamey and increasingly in secondary cities.  Cellular phones are very popular and they operate on the GSM standard, while phone cards are readily available via street sellers and kiosks.  3G service has seen significant growth within Niamey over the past two to three years, though remains rare outside the capital city.
