$2.99! LIME makes massive cut in call rates
New rate not last-ditch effort, says LIME

LIME slashed the cost of mobile phone calls yesterday from $8 a minute to $2.99, two-thirds less than the price charged by its arch-rival Digicel.
For the same low rate, callers can also phone landlines in America, Britain and Canada, where most of the Jamaican diaspora reside.

The company hopes the "game-changing" Talk EZ plan will double its market share from 18 per cent to 36 per cent within three years. It currently has 400,000 pre-paid customers and 50,000 subscribers.
The new rates, which become effective today, are also expected to drive up the amount of time each customer spends on the phone, and encourage more people to take out contracts, where the rate is $1.99 per minute.


The company is also offering Alcatel phones today only for just $999, 50 per cent off the regular retail price, with a $999 credit, in effect making the handsets free.
The 63 per cent rate cut was made possible when the Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR) cut the mobile termination rate (the amount LIME has to pay Digicel when one of its customers calls a number on its rival's network) from $9 per minute to $5.
Reducing the termination rate has been a major demand of LIME in its fight to create a level regulatory playing field.

Because the termination rate made being on the same network as family, friends and colleagues cheaper, it acted as a deterrent to people switching from the dominant operator.
But with Talk EZ, it will cost less to call a Digicel number from a LIME phone, at $6.99, than from a Digicel phone, at $8.99.
