NEXCOM Lowers Telephone Call Rates

The Navy Exchange Service Command will lower the price on ship-to-shore phone calls and domestic and international rates for ashore phone cards effective Nov. 1. AT&T Direct Ocean Service per-minute calling rates will be reduced for calls made from ship to shore from 50 cents per minute to 45 cents per minute. Customers can now save up to 39 percent on domestic state-to-state calls and up to 47 percent on international calls to the United States, including from Japan, Bahrain, Guam, Iraq and Italy. AT&T prepaid calling card prices have also been simplified. NEXs will now offer two different prepaid calling cards, a $10 and a $20 version. These cards will be available at any NEX or NEX vending machine. The prepaid cards have also been modified so that customers can check the balance or add more minutes to the card at NEX cash registers.
