Bharti Airtel slashes STD

[vasulic]

Bharti Airtel reducing STD rates to Rs 1.50 a minute from Rs 2.65.

Bharti Airtel, 30 per cent owned by Singapore's SingTel, also announced a drastic cut in roaming rates under which incoming roaming calls would be charged at Re 1 a minute compared with the existing Rs 1.75.

While roaming, the customer can make an outgoing local call at Re 1 a minute and an STD call at Rs 1.50 a minute, said the president of Bharti Airtel Mr Manoj Kohli here. The initiative would benefit rural customers.
