Airtel cuts prepaid ISD rates for Bangladesh and Nepal by up to 75%

NEW DELHI: Bharti Airtel on Monday said that it has reduced ISD call charges to Bangladesh and Nepal by 75% and around 40% as it aims to simplify tariffs for its prepaid customers.

Now, calls to Bangladesh will be charged at only Rs 2.99/minute versus Rs. 12/minute earlier. Calls to Nepal will now be charged at Rs 7.99/minute versus Rs 13 earlier.

The new ISD call charges, which are currently available to Airtel prepaid mobile users, are the most affordable in the industry and eliminate the need for buying additional ISD packs to make calls to Bangladesh and Nepal, the telco said in a statement.
