MTN South Africa will extend its Lowest International Call Rates promotion, which offers calls to key African, Asian and European countries from as little as 75c per minute, to the end of February.

It will also extend competitive rates to more than 200 countries for the same period.

“MTN launched this promotion in September last year as a way to offer our customers some of the most affordable international call rates in the South African market. The positive response we received has led the company to extend the promotion for another month,” says Brian Gouldie, chief marketing officer at MTN South Africa.

“The Lowest International Call Rates promotion will provide customers wanting to talk to loved ones or for business purposes in more than 200 international calling destinations with the most value for their money. As a customer-centric organisation, MTN is happy to be able to provide them with a cost-effective way to stay in touch,” says Gouldie.

MTN has segmented its international call rates into country brackets, offering the most relevant competitive rates for each destination. As such, calls to the following countries will be charged at the 75c per minute rate: China, India, France, the United States, Germany, and Nigeria. Meanwhile, calls to other countries such as Angola, Spain, New Zealand, Greece and Thailand will be charged at 99c.
