The Authority for Fair Competition and Consumer Protection (AFCCP) negotiated with four national mobile operators to switch cell phone service tariffs from being calculated per minute into per second calculation by March 1st.

Mongolian phone subscribers are to pay per second, rather than paying for a whole minute even when the call lasts only a few seconds.

The Authority for Fair Competition and Consumer Protection (AFCCP) reported that currently the four national mobile operators Skytel LLC, Mobicom LLC, Unitel LLC and G-Mobile LLC have undergone technical and other preparation work for the new service package to switch from the minute tariff into a second tariff.

The Communications Regulatory Commission of Mongolia will consider and solve service offers by mobile operators according to law. All four mobile operator companies will switch into using a by-the-second tariff from the minute tariff by March 15th or International subscriber`s day.
