Budapest, May 2, 2000
Between May 1 and August 31 MATÁV will charge a flat rate of HUF 6 gross a minute on calls made in the off-peak and night periods in the long-distance zone II (agglomeration) and national long-distance tariff zone within the Matáv network.
A minute's long-distance tariff zone II and national long-distance call
between 6.00 p.m. and 7.00 a.m. the following day on weekdays and all
day on holidays, will cost on average 45% less. At the weekends, the
highest listed minute fee will be HUF 6 gross inside the Matáv network.
In addition to calls billed at the regular listed rates, the "Hív6"
campaign will also apply to tariff packages. For customers choosing the
low user package, calls will be charged at the cheap HUF 6 rate up to
the HUF 250 threshold, above that the minute fee will be HUF 18.
The call set-up fee will remain unchanged.
The campaign does not cover the following calls: pagers (06/50), mobile
phones (06/20, 06/30, 06/60, 06/70), televoting calls (06/81),
premium-rate calls (06/90) and local-rated calls (06/40 and 06/51).
