Who says calls are costly?

Anyone suggesting that phone calls in Indonesia are among the
most expensive in the world should look again, at least during
the APEC meetings.

The state owned PT Telkom is giving a 25 percent discount on
all phone calls made from any of its kiosks in Bogor in the run
up to and during the APEC Economic Leaders Meeting on Nov. 15.

"We hope that the discount will help various parties involved
in the conference, especially journalists covering the event,"
Djoko Bisowarno, head of Bogor Telkom office, reported to the
Antara news agency.

Although the offer is only available at two of Telkom's kiosks
in Bogor, residents of the city will get a benefit of another
kind.

Telkom has bolstered the telephone capacity in the city so
that phone calls made from there will have a better success ratio
than they have in the past. (emb)
