Call123 News

1st May 2008

Regrettably, the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority have recently imposed changes to the call routes available to telecom operators. Some of these routes have now been closed, leaving the available routes heavily congested. To ensure that call123 maintains call quality and availability we now have to utilise alternative routes; this has affected the price of calls to these destinations.

We have also reviewed the rates charged to other destinations; as a result the Instant Dial rate to Bangladesh Landline and Mobiles, and Philippines Landline and Mobiles are all reduced from the 1st May 2008.
