NTT Communications to Provide “Premierplan” Service
for Additional Discounts

 

NTT Communications Corporation, from September 17, will inaugurate its “Premierplan” service as a series of its Arcstar Voice Network services. The new service is designed to ensure comprehensive services for corporate users of NTT Communications’ Member’s Net and FreeDial services’ discount plans.


Outline

The “Premierplan” service consists of two different discount services in order to comply with relevant requirements from corporate customers. The customers are able to freely combine these services with other existing discount services, such as Member’s Net Super Discount and FreeDial Super Discount. The “Premierplan” features Distance-Based and Time-Zone-Based discount services for corporate customers of the Member’s Net service and/or the FreeDial service, and Contract-Term-Based service for those of either the Member’s Net service, the FreeDial service or the Arcstar Direct service.




Contents

1)
Distance-Based and Time-Zone-Based Discount Service

By paying 40,000 yen per month, customers can enjoy further discount rates.



2)
Contract-Term-Based Discount Service

Customers can benefit from additional discount rates by concluding in advance an annual contract for call charges and terms.

    Discount rates
    Contract amount*1 Contract term Discount rate

    ¥100 million/year 1 year 5 %

    *1 Contract amount refers to the annual charge that the customer promises to pay at the time of the contract. If the annual charge does not meet the contract amount, the customer will pay a designated amount which equals the discounted amount.
    Note: Contract amount covers toll call charges from the Member’s Net and the Arcstar Direct services, as well as toll call charges to the FreeDial service. (Incoming calls from cellular and PHS phones are covered by only the Arcstar Direct service)


(By and large, corporate customers with phone bills exceeding approximately 10 million yen per year will benefit from these combined services.)
