Bell unveils flat-rate long-distance plan

Article Abstract:

Bell Canada has announced a C$20 cap on the amount its customers will pay for calls within Canada during off-peak hours to counter a similar pricing strategy of rival Sprint Canada Inc. of Toronto, Canada. The plan, which begins on Aug. 3, 1998, will enable Bell's customers to call anywhere in Canada for 10 cents a minute but they would not pay for more than $20 a month for call on evenings and weekends. A similar plan launched by Sprint Canada earlier have callers pay for the full amount even if they use less than C$20 worth of calls.
