[comp.dcom.telecom] Followup on International Tariffs

BMONTGOM@HVTVM4 (05/13/91)

Hello,

A while ago there was a posting asking for international tariffs. I
have managed to get together this information. I thought I had noted
the original poster but I had the wrong person. Sorry Jim.

Additionally I would be in interested in any info that you have
regarding calls from US-UK and UK-US. I hope this is of interest;

 pounds sterling $ = US dollars (these symbols are reversed on my
system)

  Using: British Telecom to North America (cheapest rate) 0.603/min
         Mercury              "      "                    0.465/min
         MCI call USA $2 charge+(??) $1.43 for 3 min then $0.930/min
         AT&TUSA Direct $2.5 charge, $1.20 for 3 min then $0.940/min

(Orginally ATT used to vary additional mins (71 & 60c) depending on
time of day but it now appears to be a flat rate as with MCI.)


I hope that this may be of use to you and look forward to any comments
that you have. If required I could additionally find tarrifs from BT to
other destinations. All the best.


Cheers,

Bryan Montgomery

PS There was a posting the other day regarding information for fibre
cables for someone in IBM (or so it seemed). I'm not convinced that
the E-mail address given was correct. If any mail gets bounced,
forward it to me and I'll do my best to find the rightful owner.
