Telewest has announced today it is launching a new international calling package designed to undercut arch-rival BT.
For £3 per month, customers can subscribe to "Talk International", lowering standard international rates to 2p per minute for "popular destinations" such as the USA, Germany andthe Netherlands; and 3p per minute for those further away such as Australia and New Zealand. A 6p connection charge applies to all calls.
David Hobday, Telewest's deputy managing director, said: "We're tearing up the rule book once again, demonstrating that people don't have to accept what they're given.
"We're proving it doesn't have to be expensive to keep in touch with friends and family abroad with calls to many international destinations now costing the same as a local daytime call."
