Post office hours are generally Monday to Friday, between 0730 and 1330 and 1500 and 1800, except Wednesday. Saturdays are between 0830 and 1030.

Voice over Internet Protocol
VoIP is a new technology which allows users to verbally communicate through their computer. Essentially a telephone call made using the internet, VoIP is becoming increasingly more common in the business world due to its low costs, and easy set-up and maintenance.
Forget installation engineers and phone number changes, as long as you have a broadband connection, you can use VoIP any time, any where.

What's more, calls made between VoIP users are typically free all you pay for is the standard internet service.
Internet
Internet use and email is growing expeditiously. It is especially being employed in the financial and commercial business-to-business service sectors.
Internet and e-mail is widely used in social and commercial circles. There are some cyber cafes in the more tourist-driven areas.
