Himanshu Singh 19 Report post Posted November 23, 2007 International calls to the US and Canada would now cost just Rs 1.75 per minute from BSNL and MTNL phones as against Rs 7.20 a minute at present. BSNL has launched a calling card - CallNow - which allows BSNL and MTNL's landline subscribers to make much cheaper ISD calls to the US and Canada. While for some other destinations like France, Russia, the UK and South East Asia, the rates would vary from Rs 3.25 to Rs 4 a minute, depending on the denomination value of CallNow cards, Kuldeep Goyal, CMD of BSNL said. "Higher the denomination, cheaper the call charges," he said, adding that CallNow card also allows BSNL to BSNL/MTNL and vice versa calls to Re 1 per minute and to other operators at a maximum of Rs 2 per minute. BSNL has also tied up with Indiatimes for launching Free Messaging Service (FMS) under which, instead of the sender, the receiver of SMS would be charged. The service would help subscribers who have exhausted their air time (cash balance) to send SMS in an emergency situation, but with prior permission of receiver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honest 836 Report post Posted November 25, 2007 ^^^ My dear friends apart from the date of the launch of these Callnow cards, these cards are really good for many of its users. Not only they can call US and Canada at cheaper rates but also the STD on BSNL-BSNL and BSNL-MTNL and vice-versa is economic. Regards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
