NORWAY, Dec. 29, 2000 (PRIMEZONE) -- Telenor will be making some changes to its prices at the turn of the year. The minimum call charge will be increased in both the fixed and the mobile networks, while fixed network call rates (Norway price) per minute will be reduced for daytime calls. It will also be cheaper to call from the fixed network to Telenor Mobil and to several countries in and outside Europe.
In view of the decision to increase value-added tax from the beginning of the year, Telenor decided to review its price structure in both the fixed and mobile networks.
