Vodafone's comments come after Digicel announced their new rate of five cents a unit for all their customers.

Digicel Fiji's New Chief Executive, Matt Davey said the new rate was introduced, as there are alot of promotions in the telecommunications market and they decided to have a special standard rate for their customers.

Under the new Digicel prepaid rates, customers will see prices for calls and text messaging at an all time rate of five cents.

This will see Digicel users, paying only five cents for every 30 seconds they spend on the phone and 5 cents for a text message.
Davey adds that this promotion would be a huge benefit to the public as the promotion would last indefinitely.
