Spice customers - both prepaid and postpaid, can now make calls anywhere in the country for just Rs 1. It will cost Spice customers 30 paise to make calls to other Spice phones, and Rs 1 to other phones.

Spice has also announced an offer on SMS services, proposing a charge of 30 paise for every local or national SMS on a package involving a Rs 49 monthly rental. The ISD rates are charged at Rs 7.2 per minute.

Navin Kaul, chief operating officer, Spice Telecom, said that the drive behind this tariff is to give the best of the rates in the industry to Spice customers.

Further - according to latest reports - Spice has added new cell towers across the state of Karnataka covering areas including Yarmal, Uchila, Hejamadi, Mulki, Karkala Road, Paradise Island Resort, Malpe Beach, etc, to offer clarity in voice and coverage to its subscribers.

Apparently the company has also carried out a new system doubling of the switch capacity, thereby increasing the network's capacity to accommodate more subscribers as also helping in maintaining service quality.
