Здравствуйте,
I am curious about the word "доступ", can it be used for any kind of access like mobile phone, internet, physical access to an entrance or parking space?
Спасибо большое

On many occasions it sounds like an English calque. So it's right to use "доступ" when talking about cells/internet, yet in other contexts you may find some better synonyms. – Matt Oct 30 '15 at 20:10

And what are those contexts? – Дженни Oct 30 '15 at 20:30

Pretty much all the stuff about "physical access" sounds too heavy and formal, when you actually say "доступ". – Matt Oct 30 '15 at 20:36

According to your recommendation/doctrine it would be better to use something like: "у меня есть интернет"? and skip the доступ – Дженни Oct 30 '15 at 20:49

Almost. As virually any person has some kind of internet access, this question may seem a bit strange. Yet questioning, for example, "У тебя есть дома интернет?" (i.e. "do you have a personal internet access point at home?") is perfectly OK. – Matt Oct 31 '15 at 8:08

Yes, you can use that word to indicate any kind of access:
У тебя есть доступ в интернет?
"Do you have access to Internet?"
Мы были заперты в комнате без доступа к телефону.
"We were locked in the room without access to a telephone."
Конфеты лежали на верхней полке, вне доступа малышей.
"Sweets lay on the top shelf, inaccessible to toddlers.
