PLEASE NOTE: While WiFi reception is usually quite good and fast in apartment BALTIC this service is provided by Zebra through the same service as many of Vilnius’ hotels, and “not directly included” in the cost of your accommodations..

In apartment AMBER the WiFi depends on your laptop - some guests have had absolutely no problems, while some guests reported weaker or intermittent signals (but can usually be picked up quite well in the cafe downstairs).

As this is a service provided by Zebra, please understand that we can not be held responsible for the quality of the service, any conflicts with your telephone or your laptop, any information errors in the Zebra links above, or any service problems directly or indirectly experienced while using the Zebra service. Any questions regarding these matters should be addressed directly to them.

Telephone:

Incoming Calls:

As guests prefer to use mobile phones there are no fixed line telephones in the apartments.

To telephone direct from abroad to Lithuania one must first dial the local country's international line access code.

(ex. from USA-Canada: 011, each country is different, so check with the local authorities)

The country code of Lithuania: 370

The cell phone number: usually 8 digits long

Outgoing Calls:

Check before leaving your home to see if your phone is compatible with European SIM chips.

Sometimes the phone is compatible for Europe but needs to be “unlocked” by your service provider.

Contact your cell provider for details.

Those in the USA using AT&T seem to have the best possibility for compatibility but do make sure that your phone is “unlocked” for international use.

Pre-Pay Credits:

Mobile telephones in Lithuania are the least expensive and convenient alternative for holiday travelers.

If you prefer not to pay expensive international roaming charges, the best deal is to purchase an inexpensive Lithuanian  “pre-pay” SIM card from any of the local kiosks.  Once the credit runs out, you simply recharge it for as much or as little as you desire.
