OREANDA-NEWS. June 01, 2010. Starting from June, TEO LT, AB, the largest provider of integrated telecommunication, IT and TV services in Lithuania, and Omnitel, a mobile telecommunications company, offered their customers to make internetwork calls at the tariff of 0 cents per minute.
 
According to Nerijus Ivanauskas, Chief Marketing Officer of TEO, customer surveys show that, if offered more favourable conditions, about a third of TEO customers would much more actively call to mobile networks. “The new offers will be particularly useful for the customers, so in the nearest future we expect a substantial growth in the traffic of telephone calls”, - N. Ivanauskas said.
 
“Hoping to create more favourable conditions for our customers to communicate with other operators' subscribers, we have sent cooperation proposals to all mobile operators in the country”, - N. Ivanauskas said.
 
“Among Omnitel customers – even 43% of the country’s companies and about a half of budgetary institutions and organizations, most of which also use fixed connection. We are therefore sure that the joint proposal with TEO will be particularly beneficial for these customers of our company, because it will allow them to save money during the recession and will create an additional value”, - Remigijus Shtaras, Vice-President, Chief Commercial Officer at Omnitel, stated. 
 
According to R. Shtaras, in order to provide all its customers with favourable conditions to communicate with fixed-line customers, Omnitel has also submitted cooperation proposals to other fixed-line operators.
