Bharti Airtel has slashed international call rates to Bangladesh by 75 per cent and that to Nepal by 40 per cent for its pre-paid users, which is available on regular recharge packs and bundles.

The Now calls to Bangladesh will now be charged at 2.99 per minute, compared with earlier Rs 12 a minute, and that to Nepal will be at Rs 7.99 per minute, versus Rs 13 earlier, the company said in a statement.

“These new calling rates will further simplify tariffs and eliminate the need for special ISD packs for making calls to these neighbouring countries. Airtel retail and business customers will benefit immensely from these reduced rates and we are confident this will further drive the consumption of minutes on these routes,” Ajai Puri, COO at Bharti Airtel said.
