Race to provide cheaper phone calls

The country’s two main farming bodies are involved in a race to provide cheaper phone calls to their members.

IFA Telecom, launched in Dublin last week, said it will provide low cost home and business call charges to members, countryside members, associate members and associated agribusiness.

The ICMSA has now followed up with an announcement that it is in talks with a telecommunications company to provide for the lowest telephone charges to farmers across all categories.
