FE Report
The Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board (BTTB) Thursday reduced various call charges and line rents for the benefit of its customers, said a BTTB press statement.
The decision on the change in call charges will be effective from November 1 next, it said.
The release said the customers will have to pay Tk 1.50 for each nationwide dialing (NWD) per minute.
In 30 seconds, the customers will pay Tk 0.75 for each NWD call, as there is a pulse in every 30 second.
Entire Bangladesh will be considered as one zone and calls from one district to another district will be treated as NWD calls, the press release said.
Calls within one administrative district will, however, be considered as local calls.
The BTTB will charge Tk 1.50 for each local call within a district and upazilas under one district.
The same rate will be applicable for the customers in case of calls between the BTTB operators and other operators within the same district, the release said.

The monthly line rent in Dhaka-Chittagong Multi-exchange zones will be Tk 80 and Tk 70 in divisional cities and district towns.
