The Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone Board will introduce its flat international call rate of Tk 7.5 per minute to 15 more countries from April 1.

The state-owned land phone operator in a statement on Wednesday said the subscribers having international subscriber’s dialling and nation-wide dialling facilities would enjoy the reduced tariff using code number '012' for making calls to China, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Brunei, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg, Ireland, Spain, Greece and Austria.

Excepting China, South Korea, Thailand and Brunei, the board, however, would charge Tk 18 per minute for making calls to mobile phones of the remaining 11 countries
