Ramallah : The Palestinian Telecommunication Company, Paltel announced a campaign, Call Locally Comfortably which will change the pricing method for local calls, where local calls are calculated on the basis of price per call instead of per minute, regardless of the duration of the call.  This campaign is aimed to increase communication between subscribers of the company and in effort to provide evolving and diversified services.

Mr. Rami Shamshoum, Chief Commercial Office of Paltel stated that the campaign is aimed at customers who have a billing system for domestic fixed lines only, so a user with this system in place can benefit from this campaign and take advantage of its features.  The campaign allows access to any local phone number for a fixed amount of the call at all times standard and non-standard time regardless of the duration of the call.  The features of the campaign will be applied for two months regardless of the date of subscription.

Mr. Shamshoum further explained that the price of a local call in the Call Locally Comfortably campaign is 29 agora regardless of the call duration, not inclusive of VAT and the monthly subscription fees to subscribe to the campaign which amounts to 8.5NIS.

Mr. Shamshoum emphasized that Paltel is constantly seeking to achieve customer satisfaction and continues to establish its services and campaigns, where this new campaign, “Call Locally Comfortably” is a distinctive service.  Mr. Shamshoum added that a customer can participate in the campaign and subscribe to the service by calling the toll free number 199 or by visiting the nearest Paltel call center.

Finally, Mr. Shamshoum added that Paltel will continue roll out new campaign that will serve the public, pointing out similar campaigns that have recently been launched, i.e. a campaign which aimed at cutting the price of international communications at all hours of the day, so subscribers could connect to any country in the world at a reduced rate regardless of the time the call is made.  In addition, another campaign was also launched where ADSL Internet speed was increased for subscribers at reduced rates to allow the use of all the best internet features provided.
