Xantic Extends Discounts

Xantic has announced a extension of its successful Happy Hours promotion. As per April 1, 2004, crew members calling via a mini-M, Fleet or Inmarsat B terminal using Xantic’s ChatCard service will only pay 10 units per minute compared to the previous cost of 11 units. Moreover, the actual period in which the Happy Hours tariffs are available will be significantly extended. Happy Hours will now last 10 hours a day during the week instead of the previous four hours. The time is from 20.00 to 06.00 UTC in all ocean regions. Moreover, the Happy Hour period will also last the entire weekend – from Friday at 20.00 to Monday at 06.00 UTC! “We are delighted to be able to offer our customers this major enhancement of our Happy Hours programme,” commented Ronald Spithout, Vice-President Marketing & Sales. “This means that crew members can use this attractive rate for almost 60 percent of the time, ensuring there is always a decent time to call home wherever they may be in the world.”
