I have been to Northern Africa and Madagascar.
Most of the time in rural places, there is not even electrical power
(the worst is Madagascar).
Even in Morocco, in large towns like Marrakesh or Casablanca, many homes
are
not on the phone (yet).

often denied : 'Due to the high number of people connected, we cannot
get you through, please try again.
Thank you'.
