The highest GP pre-paid tariff has been reduced from Tk. 6/min to Tk.4.4/min when calling other GP subscribers, and to Tk. 4.8/min when calling subscribers of other mobile networks. Still, a number of features like My Time, My EASY and My Choice remains with even lower tariffs.

All existing and new djuice subscribers will enjoy a reduced flat tariff of 4.65/min (Tk.1.55/pulse) for calling any other mobile number. The djuice subscribers will also enjoy the U&I feature (Tk.1/pulse) and the current promotion of extended off-peak hour from 10 pm to 6 am at a reduced rate of Tk.0.66/pulse.

Moreover, for GP Regular and GP National subscribers, a super off-peak hour tariff of Tk.1/pulse from 11pm to 8am for calling any other mobile has been introduced, resulting in a reduction of up to 60% in tariff.
GP has also reduced its bundled products’ tariffs i.e. after free minutes the tariff has been reduced to a flat Tk.3/min for AnyTime 500 & Tk.2.5/min for AnyTime 1600 for calling any other mobile.
