On 15 June Telenor will cut the price from fixed line phones to Telenor Mobil by NOK 0.21 per minute. The new price will be NOK 1.48/minute, which represents a price cut of 12 per cent. This reduction applies both to Telenors private and corporate customers. In combination with Telenors discount plans, this will offer very competitive prices to Telenors customers.

In addition to the price cut, private individuals can receive a discount of up to 20 per cent on this type of call. The lowest price for calling from a fixed line phone to a mobile phone will be NOK 1.18 per minute then. Other discount plans are available to the corporate market.
