Primus puts a lid on call costs

Primus Telecom has announced new capped prices to local, national, international and calls to mobiles.

Primus Telecom has announced new capped prices to local, national, international and calls to mobiles.

For those bundling their eligible broadband or dial-up Internet service with Primus, the telco now offers three bundled-price plans.

They range from $15 for $50 worth of local, national, fixed to mobile and international calls to a $35 plan that includes $120 worth of calls and a $65 plan that includes $250 worth of calls.

For those who don’t bundle, the HomeCap rates are $25 for $50 worth of calls, $45 for $120 worth of calls, and $75 for $250 worth of calls.

These call costs are based upon Primus’s current rates including 17 cent local calls, national calls at 17 cents a minute, and international call charges based on Primus’s Name-a-Nation rates.

The HomeCap plan is available without a lock-in contract. The standard line rental of $29.95 a month applies and some call types, such as premium rate and 13 numbers, are excluded.

The introduction of HomeCap follows Primus’ recent launch of TalkBroadband, a VoIP service using broadband instead of traditional copper lines.
