Romtelecom and Cosmote launch new competitive offers

Romtelecom and Cosmote, companies controlled by the OTE and Deutsche Telekom groups, introduced two new aggressive offers onto the market on Monday and aim to attract more Internet users and mobile telephony clients respectively. Romtelecom has launched an Internet telephony service (IP), which allows clients to use telephone services that also includes access via a computer connected to the Internet, with special, free-of-charge software installed. This software enables users to call national and international phone numbers and send text messages to mobile phones. The IP telephony service can only be activated through Romtelecom’s ClickNet service, but can be used with other Internet connections, from other operators. Cosmote, on the other hand, has relaunched its subscription offer with lower rates (down by 6.5% for calls outside the network) and introduced an aggressive offer, their lower fee ever – 5.95 euros (VAT included).
