Yet Another Rate Cut from C&W
- Up To 20% Off To 8 More Popular Countries

Following a series of recent, significant rate cuts including reductions to Internet Dial Up, Mobile (local) and International calls (mobile/fixed-line), Cable & Wireless is once again slamming down its international rates to eight more popular countries by up to 20%!

Having already reduced rates to the UK, USA, Canada, Singapore, India, China and Russia in August 2005, the same rates are being applied to all Cable & Wireless customers (residential & business) making direct dialled international calls from fixed-line phones, mobile phones (postpaid & prepaid) and payphones to the following additional popular destinations: Australia, South Africa, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Mauritius and the United Arab Emirates.

The new rates, effective 1st March 2006, are as follows:

  Peak Rate Off-Peak Rate
  Current Rates New Rates Current Rates New Rates
Mobile SR8.09 SR6.49 SR8.09 SR6.49
Fixed Lines SR8.01 SR6.49 SR6.35 SR5.85

All rates above are per minute and are inclusive of GST. Inmarsat calls are not included in this reduction.

"Customers can now talk more to a total of 15 popular countries whilst enjoying the best mobile rates on weekdays, the best fixed-line rates 7 days a week and the best call quality 365 days a year! This is the kind of all round value customers can expect from Seychelles' No.1 telecoms provider!" said Margaret Zarine, Manager PSTN, Data & IP Products & Services.

Peak times for fixed-line (including payphones) are from 7am to 7pm Monday to Friday whilst off-peak is from 7pm to 7am Monday to Friday, 7pm Friday to 7am Monday and all day on public holidays. The new international rate for mobile is applicable 24 hours a day.
