How internet here works

Solving the mystery of how I have internet at my house...

Here, the easiest way to get internet at home is through one of the cell phone companies.  You register with them and get a receiver that looks like this

 This plugs into the USB drive and picks up a cell signal, giving you the internet. The signal isn't all you need.  You still have to pay for it.  To do that, you have to buy credit.  For this, I use the same system that I use for my phones. You buy a card at any neighborhood shop or from people selling them on the street.  They come in different denominations (this one is 100 dalasis- a little under $4. One of the bigger cards you can get.)
There is a portion that you have to scratch off like a lottery ticket to get to your code.  Then you text this code to the mobile provider.





In a couple of seconds, you should get a text back telling you the amount of credit in your account. Then you're free to roam the internet until you've used up all of the memory that the credit entitles you to. Then you're done with internet until you buy more credit.
