The Tariff Transparency Service

Some tariff plans can offer you lower retail rates for calls/SMS to subscribers served by your own providers (“on-net”), rather than for those served by other providers (“off-net”). To help you determine whether a local telephone number is on-net or off-net, you may avail of the free-of-charge ‘tariff transparency service’ reachable on the number ‘180’. You may either reach the service by calling this number from a fixed subscription, or, for mobile subscriptions, you may be offered a similar call facility or an alternative facility where you may send an SMS with the local number you want to check to the same (‘180’) number.
