Announcing changes in the tariff plan for ''pay per second' in the public notice, the company has said local and STD call rates on 'Vodafone to Vodafone' and from 'Vodafone to others' network will be 1.2 paise per second from 1 paisa per second at present.

Currently, Vodafone is charging 1 paise per second from its prepaid customers.

The rates are on a par with those of Airtel, which had also hiked the SMS rates.
