Azercell adopts single roaming rate for Europe

Azercell Telecom offers even more favorable terms for subscribers using roaming services. Both post-paid and prepaid (SimSim) subscribers can enjoy single roaming tariffs in 12 more countries from October 24.

Hence, incoming calls will cost Azercell subscribers 0.32 manat per minute, while outgoing calls will cost 1.5 manat per minute to any direction in Albania, Andorra, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Ireland, Iceland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Macedonia, Malta, the Republic of Slovakia and Slovenia. Subscribers will be charged 0.2 manat for text message. New single roaming rate eliminates the chance of selection of a more expensive network which is caused by the failure to receive the information in time or by automatic setting of the device.

Single roaming tariffs of Azercell are applicable in 30 countries.

Mobile internet services are available only for post-paid numbers.

All post-paid and pre-paid subscribers (SimSim) in roaming can benefit from 5 minutes of free call to Call Center. Azercell also recalled the deposit required for roaming service activation for post-paid subscribers which enabled all Azercell subscribers to easily activate roaming line before they travel abroad. Pre-paid subscribers may activate their roaming service by dialing *135*1#YES from cell phones while the post-paid subscribers need to text “START” to 8808.
