Tricom announces new call program

The information was offered by Jose Antonio Salce, vice-president for fixed residential and commercial services and Liza Arzeno, the director of corporate communications. 

Tricom took this step at the beginning of last year when it announced an investment of RD$1.15 billion in modernization and enlargement of its infrastructure, accumulating RD$2.2 billion over the past 23 months in international broad band connections and IP platforms to lower the costs of international calls. 

When a person has a call plan with Tricom, he or she can call local as well as international and the cost remains the same. 

Salce said he believes that the measure taken is important because there are over a million Dominicans in new York and the rest of the United States. 

By way of an example, if a client has a 700 minute plan, he or she can use them to call La Vega,, Samana or Boston without worrying about when the phone bill comes. 

Salce explained that this move will reinforce the ties between the Dominican community in the United States and the people here in the DR. The program will also provide savings and efficiency at a time when the nation and its people are trying to establish a predictable budget that can be handled without problems. 

Arzeno said that normally the cost of a long distance call is additional and independent of the package of minutes tied to a local or national plan, but from today forward, not with Tricom’s new plan. 

She added that the custom is for Dominican to receive more calls from the United States, but now, given the circumstances that are occurring in the United States, the pattern might be reversed, and those that live here might be who are doing the calling.
