Bharti Airtel, India’s leading telecom services provider  today  announced  the  reduction  in  International Long Distance Tariffs  (ISD)  for all its mobile customers in India. This is in line with the  company’s  endeavour to make International calling more affordable and deliver greater value to its growing number of mobile users.

With  effect  from  1st  April  2007, Airtel mobile customers can call USA, Canada,  Australia  and many other countries (details given in table below) for  as low Rs 6.40 per minute – a reduction of 11% from the earlier rates. With  this,  Airtel  has  made ISD calling from mobile more economical than making  ISD calls from Fixed/Landline phones.  This spell huge benefits for the mobile user as Airtel continues to lead in driving affordability in the Indian telecom market.

“ India  is  a  global  economic  powerhouse today with business interests spanning  boundaries.  We  also  have  a  large and growing base of over 22 million  Non  Resident  Indians.  I  am  happy that Airtel is taking a step further  to  dissolve  these  boundaries and bring people closer to connect with  their  business associates, friends and family internationally. Being the  industry  leader,  we  will continue to be at the forefront in driving affordability  and  providing  greater  value  to our customers.”, said Mr. Sanjay Kapoor, President, Mobile Services, Bharti Airtel.
