Communication of 10.VI.2010:

Changes in the telegram service

The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA), Vilnius, announces that Lietuvos Telekomas, Vilnius, no longer handles telegram traffic to and from Lithuania. All international telegrams to and from Lithuania must be routed through Telegraf OÜ (Estonia), with immediate effect. The telegram destination indicator “LT” allocated to Lithuania and the office code “LTXX”, used in the telegram retransmission system, remain in force and must be used for all telegrams to Lithuania.

Responsibility for international rates and settlements will reside with Telegraf OÜ which will handle directly all accounting and settlements relating to telegram traffic to and from Lithuania, with immediate effect. Telecommunication operators are therefore kindly requested to contact Telegraf OÜ directly as shown below to arrange for the provision of access and negotiate termination rates to apply.
