Telephone and internet

Liechtenstein's automatic telephone system is connected to the Swiss telephone networks via cable and microwave radio relay systems. There are approximately 10,000 main line telephones and over 51,000 mobile cellular subscriptions in the country.[1] In April 1999, Liechtenstein ceased to be a part of the Swiss telephone numbering plan, in which the country used the Swiss area code "075",[2] opting instead to have a unique country calling code, "+423".[3] An estimated 97% of the population uses the internet.[1]

Radio and television

There are four FM radio broadcast stations in Liechtenstein serving 21,000 radios. The television broadcast system is linked to the Swiss networks, with the Swiss services serving 12,000 televisions in Liechtenstein.
