NOK 200 Million in Price Reductions from Telenor OSLO, Norway, May
26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Telenor's mobile customers in the
consumer market are now offered price reductions worth an estimated
NOK 200 million. In addition to a 50 per cent reduction on domestic
mobile rates twelve hours a day on weekdays, and twenty-four hours

July and August alone, Telenor Mobil anticipates that customers
will register more than 1.5 billion mobile voice minutes, send
close to 600 million text messages, and snap and send 15 million
MMS messages. "Telenor's special summer offers to mobile customers
have become a regular feature, and this year, to coincide with the
celebrations of Telenor's 150th anniversary, we wanted to do
something special. We also remain committed to provide competitive
services and rates at all times. Telenor operates in a highly
competitive mobile market, and the current price reductions are a
signal that Telenor will continue to pursue an aggressive strategy
in the Norwegian mobile market," said Director of Division Consumer
Market at Telenor, Berit Kjoll. The most important changes and new
