NTT Com to Host 0033 Spring Discount Campaign

 
NTT Communications Corporation (NTT Com) will host a week-long campaign, the 0033 Spring Discount Campaign, to promote its 0033 international telephone service. The campaign will last from March 3 (Friday) to March 10 (Friday) and feature discounts on international calls.

During the campaign, all international calls made to any country or region on weekdays, will be charged at the cheaper weekend and holiday call rate. Users will be able to save a maximum of 23% (average of 17%) compared with the weekday daytime rate (8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.). The weekend rate will remain unchanged.

Also, users can enjoy further discounts when they register for the Home Discount or Corporate Discount services. For example, those using the Home Discount Service during the campaign can make international calls anytime at the late-night rate which allows a maximum discount of 48% compared with the weekday daytime rate.
