"The rate reduction is an important step in TSTT's efforts to remain the service provider of choice in a competitive environment," notes Samuel A. Martin, CEO of TSTT.

The 50% rate reduction applies to Night Saver rates as well. In addition to this rate reduction, TSTT has also dropped the rate of its Talk Fuh So promotion from $1.09 to $1.00 per minute.
