Cell C has extended its 99c per minute, on per second billing international call tariff to France, Ireland, the Netherlands and US Virgin Islands, bringing the total number of countries on the 99c tariff to 38.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince we launched our 99c international rate, call volumes to the participating countries have increased drastically.\u00a0 In one case we have seen call traffic increased by more than 2000%,\u201d said Cell C CEO Alan Knott-Craig.<\/p>\n
The 99c tariff was lodged as a permanent tariff with ICASA for the 38 countries, effective 19 July.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur negotiations with international operators continue to ensure we can offer a rate that is compelling and transparent.\u00a0 All calls are billed on a per second basis so you only pay for the time you spend on a call.\u201d<\/p>\n
Knott-Craig said that all international calls are pure circuit-switched calls (non-VoIP) ensuring the best quality possible.<\/p>\n
