VNPT to lower charges for inner-network calls

Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) starting November 1 will reduce charges for calls within its network by 20 percent to the price of VND909.1 per minute.

The telecommunications company said the new network charge will be applied for inter-provincial calls made from landlines, CityPhone, inner-provincial CDMA, VNPT’s Gphone to landline telephone subscribers; from VNPT's landlines to VinaPhone subscribers; VinaPhone post-paid calls to landlines; and inner-network calls between VinaPhone and MobiFone subscribers. Inner-network fixed telephone calls using direct dial and post-paid mobile subscribers will be priced by the “6 seconds plus 1” billing scheme. At public service locations – for example post offices – the billing unit of 6 seconds will be used. Calls made by telephone operators will be charged according to the one-minute billing unit. All of the above charges exclude value added tax. Reported by Truong Son
