An intense battle over call rates is now on between the country's two mobile phone providers.

A week after LIME slashed call rates its rival Digicel has followed suit.

Effective today, Friday June 22 Digicel customers will begin paying 2 dollars 98 cents per minute for a call.

On June 15, LIME prepaid customers began paying 2 dollars 99 cents per minute to call on its network and internationally.

Postpaid customers will pay 1 dollar 99 cents for the same call while it will cost 6 dollars 99 cents to call a Digicel phone.

LIME says it made the adjustment in response to the recent reduction in cross network rates by the Office of Utilities Regulation (OUR).
