Posts: 1121. Internet and Telephony in Ghana
before i start, i would like to thank all friendly members who responded to my requests for even generic help and information: thanks!
i would like to write a series of postings on practical manners that we all face as first time visitors in ghana and i will probably end up compiling them into one big posting.
so, let's start with communications.
1. international and local calls.
-get a local simcard. extremely easy. you need your passport, though. you can get one as little as 1 or 2 cedis. ifnot, you will hav ethe most unpleasant experience when yoo return home and see your personal or corporate mobile bill; for example, t-mobile charges for european subscriptions, between 1.60- 2.50 euros per minute plus 80- 100 cents asa start cost per call.
-you can get the simcard eitehr at the mall or at almost any street vendor-kiosks that sell phone credit (strange but true).
-you also need to buy separately additional credit for phone usage. i get 5 cedis and i am happy with it.
-i recommend either glo (my first choiceany bonuses and local free call airtime). they give you so m) or tigo. i call all over europe with glo. i pay around 30 cedis (yes correct) per minute on average.
-usually the card is preactivated, but it might take up to next morning to function properly. so, don't get frustated it the card is a bit sick the first evening.
2. internet on your phone.
-magic word is "internet bundle". ask for it when you buy the simcard. it is cheaper and make life easier.
-i used first tigo. unlimited bundle, for 10 cedis a week; price might have dropped. now with glo, i pay 4 cedis per. month! not clear what is the data limit, i suspect 250mb. i was happy with it for full 10 days, but again i didn't download or upload any images on my phone. good surfing speed.
-with both glo and tigo, internet bundle get activated the next morning. some time around 9 or 10 am.
-if you have an old phone, go to the (accra) mall to get your subscription and ask them to put the settings for you. you don't pay extra for that. there is a tigo kiosk by the staircase to the movie theater.
3. internet for your notebook / tablet.
-forget about isdn or adsl or cable internet. almost all internet in ghana is mobile internet.
-avoid internet cafes. too expensive and full of scam artists and other con-men.
-cheapest and best in signal quality is tigo. hated mtn.
-price for tigo usb modem (it is actually a huawei modem) + 1 month unlimited is 47 cedis.
-price if you have your own usb modem might be the same (actually is 40 cedis).
-again you need your passport. activation is instant, after a 20-30 minutes registration process.
-tigo usb modem works also on windows xp with no hidden surprises.
good luck.

Posts: 861Ghana and Sex Tourism
In the attached document (MSWord2003) you will read something about sex tourism in Ghana.
I found it on Gbooza, a web magazine from Africa.
If this link is still working you can read it directly from the website.

Otherwise open the Word Doc.

Unfortunately, the apparent age of her sister insured that my next bunkmate was going to have hair all over his back.

Great video. And a fantastic gorgeous African woman. Once you go black you never go back.

Posts: 1Alisa Hotel North Ridge girl friendly?
Hey guys,
I'm going to visit Accra for the first time in my life. I'll be there for business, but interested in pleasure too!
My company booked the Alisa Hotel, North ridge for me. Does anyone know if that hotel is girl friendly?

Posts: 367An added delight for the younger reader of ISG Ghana.
There is now a Facebook page for sugar mommas in Ghana, for the older and not so old lady who has money and is in search of a younger man who will make her happy or at least give her some sex.
As Jackson may not like it if I post the facebook site here, all you need to do is search Facebook for "Ghana Sugar Mummy Meet"
