VietNamNet BridgeThe Viet Nam Post and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) last Friday said it would unify tariffs of several of its phone services in a bid to trigger demand.

From next month, inter-provincial calls between VNPT’s fixed-phone subscribers will only cost callers VND1,000 per minute.

The country’s biggest telecom firm said the unified tariff of VND1,000 per minute, effective from next month, would be applied to all inter-provincial calls between VNPT’s fixed-phone subscribers, a reduction of 20 per cent from the current rate.

The same tariff would also be applied to calls from VNPT’s fixed telephones to all Vinaphone mobile phones (post-paid and pre-paid) and from Vinaphone post-paid mobiles to fixed phones, a 30 per cent drop on current tariffs.

Meanwhile, calls from post-paid mobile Vinaphone subscribers to all its mobile subscribers (post-paid and pre-paid) will be VND1,000 per minute, down 20 per cent.

In addition, calls from post-paid mobile subscribers of the MobiFone network to all MobiFone mobile subscribers (post-paid and pre-paid) will enjoy the unified tariff, which offers a 10 per cent drop on the current tax.

All calls will be charged in six-second blocks, then one-second blocks, the company said.

VNPT now has 11 million fixed-phone subscribers and more than 30 million mobile subscribers to its Vinaphone and MobiFone networks.

The company last year posted total revenue of VND45.300 trillion (US$2.8 billion), 3.61 per cent more than its initial plan.
