Satelindo launches new card

KUTA, Bali (JP): Telecommunications service provider PT
Satelit Palapa Indonesia (Satelindo) launched on Wednesday a new
prepaid calling card named Passcall for international calls.

Satelindo public relations manager Tb Ade Lukman said the card
could be used to call overseas from fixed line phones at home,
public pay phones or mobile phones by simply dialing the card and
holders' identification numbers.

"Charges for international calls with Passcall are between 20
percent and 40 percent cheaper than charges for common
international calls," he said.

He said unlike the previously launched 008 Card calling card,
Passcall card can be reloaded after it runs out of pulses.

A Passcall card containing 200 telephone pulses is sold for Rp
200,000 (US$28.57). A reloading voucher can reload the card with
between 250 and 500 pulses.

Satelindo has targeted to sell no less than 100,000 Passcall
cards in 2000. (zen/cst)
