LIME to cut rate for landline to mobile calls

Telecommunications company , LIME , will cut the cost of phone calls from its landline to mobile phones by almost 8 percent as of next Tuesday. 

The telecoms company said this means it will cost J$2.85 per minute to call a mobile phone from its fixed lines.  The reduction is from J$3.09 with the cost to be apportioned on a per second basis. 

 The company said it will also cut the cost to call between landlines to 99 cents per minute, from the current J$1.50 per minute. 

 Lime says it is hoping that the reduction in call rates for fixed lines will help to boost the takeup of the service which has seen a 100 percent jump in installations since July.
