Telkomsel raises tariff

JAKARTA (JP): Operator of GSM cellular service Telkomsel
announced on Thursday it would raise the call usage tariff for

The company said that the raise, however, will only affect
local and domestic long distance (SLJJ) calls while the tariff
for international calls will remain the same.

Telkomsel said it has to raise the tariff so that it can
improve its services by developing new facilities, especially the
companies' lines and networks.
