Dialog customers to enjoy massive tariff slash

Dialog Telekom announced a massive reduction in outgoing calls and SMS charges with effect from December 1 in celebration of reaching four million customers.

This reduction takes Dialog call charges to among the lowest in South Asia and will significantly reduce communications expenses for one in five Sri Lankans (4 million) who use Dialog Mobile communications services.

Celebrating the achievement of over four million subscribers, Dialog Telekom will slash out going call charges on Dialog Prepaid (Kit) and Dialog postpaid packages. All Dialog Kit pre-paid package users will enjoy large scale reductions in peak time call charges, which is a 43 per cent reduction in Dialog to Dialog mobile calls made during peak time.

In addition to pre-paid call costs being reduced, Dialog GSM post-paid call rates will also be reduced in peak time, off peak and late night time brackets.

Tariff reductions announced by the company represent savings to consumers ranging from 14 per cent to 71 per cent.

Dialog Telekom Group Chief Executive Dr. Hans Wijayasuriya paying a tribute to the Dialog subscriber family said “We are distinctly honoured by the fact that four million Sri Lankan consumers have placed their faith in us.

Our customers have been the backbone of our growth commencing from humble beginnings.

We believe there is no better way to felicitate and thank the Dialog Family than to deliver exceptional value through our service offering - we have consistently provided the best value mobile telecommunications offering in Sri Lanka through quantum steps with respect to affordability and value enhancement, coverage expansion, technology advancement and service excellence.

Today we extend the value and affordability of our product to a new dimension, through a large-scale reduction in our outgoing call rates and SMS rates”.

Dialog has also reduced Dialog to Dialog SMS, charges to just one rupee per message. This 50 per cent reduction in the Dialog to Dialog SMS tariff, will offer four million consumers the single most affordable and convenient way of keeping in touch.

The Company also reduced Dialog to Dialog MMS charges from Rs. 7 per message to Rs. 2 per message which amounts to a 71 per cent reduction.

Dialog Telekom has also upgraded the current Kit My 5 Prepaid Package to Kit My 10, where prepaid customers can nominate 10 numbers to which further rate concessions of up to 50 per cent would apply.
