TOKYO (Nikkei)-Kansai Cellular Telephone Co. along with two other cell-phone companies announced Thursday rates for the new CDMA (code division multiple access) digital phone service, which will begin operation on July 14. The monthly fees are slightly higher than current services, but call rates and fees for data transmission are the same as other digital and analog services. CDMA also boasts better voice quality and is more suited for data transmission than existing systems, officials of the companies said. The new service's monthly fee is 4,800 yen for Plan A, 200 yen higher than the current digital services and 400 yen higher than the analog service. The call rate for Plan A is 100 yen for the first three minutes and the subscription fee is 2,700 yen, the same as other services. (The Nihon Keizai Shimbun Friday morning edition)
