The Acting CEO of Telikom, Mr. Amos Tepi in announcing the Fixed Line Tariff changes made mention that Telikom last revised its Fixed Line Tariffs on April of 2014 that saw a complex pricing regime made simpler and affordable and now aims to simplify this even further. “Our focus still remains centered on our loyal and valuable customers and how we best ensure that their communication needs are maintained at ever more affordable rates.”
Fixed Line Local calls used to be charged at 1toea per minute will now no longer be charged the per minute rate. For just 30toea per call customers can now be able to talk unlimited for fixed line local calls. Fixed Line National calls used to be charged at 50toea per minute during peak hours will now be rated at 25toea per minute. Furthermore, fixed line to Bmobile calls used to be charged at 80toea per minute peak hours will now be rated at 40toea per minute and the flag fall charge of 60toea per call is now reduced to 30toea per call. However, the call rate and per call charge for fixed line calls to Digicel still remains unchanged.
“Eventually Telikom aims to zero rate Fixed Line to Fixed Line and Fixed Line to Mobile on-net calls and significantly reduced off-net mobile call rates. To allow for such benefits in usage there will be a slight increase in standard monthly line rentals and charges, however, this will be done gradually in a manner that will result in more cost savings for our fixed line customers,” Mr. Tepi assured.
