Telia Reduces Prices for Mobile Data Traffic

Telia customers can now work and surf wirelessly at lower cost. Prices have been cut by 50% for most types of mobile data traffic users, thanks to the introduction of four new fixed monthly rates that give subscribers a certain volume of data per month.

The fixed monthly rates, valid as of December 1, reduce the price of mobile data traffic, compared with the variable rate that Telia previously charged for mobile data.

The new fixed monthly rates are US$4.52 for 3 MB of data traffic; US$11.30 for 10 MB; US$45.20 for 50 MB; US$90.40 for 150 MB, and US$108 for 450 MB. A user with a portable computer connected 60 minutes, during which time he reads and sends e-mail and retrieves, reads and save documents, uses approximately 5 MB/hour.

Telia customers who have one of Telia's subscriptions for mobile telephony can subscribe to any of the monthly rate variants, with the exception of the SEK 450 MB rate, which is reserved for customers with a Telia Connect data subscription.

Telia will continue to offer customers a variable rate of US$3/MB for mobile data traffic."
