In indonesia, cheap telecommunications tariff still holded by operator base on CDMA. While GSM operator start try to degrade tariff, but still not yet can defeat CDMA. But many consumer still use GSM because broader service reach and flexibility.
Now in Indonesia, there are four CDMA operator that is Telkom Flexi, Starone Indosat, Esia Bakrie, and Fren Mobile-8. From is fourth of the operator, Fren represent the single cellular license like GSM while other get license with fixed wireless telephone.

All operator offer cheap telephone tariff to same operator where only in gyration of thousands per hour. For example Starone to local call in same operator (on net) only Rp. 19 / minute, in one island only Rp. 16 / minute and interisland only Rp. 33 / minute. While Telkom Flexy give tariff Rp. 49 / minute for local call on net. Esia for the call tariff on net is Rp. 50 / minute and will become Rp. 1000 if abysmal 1 hour. Fren from Mobile-8 though cellular but also give competitif tariff that is Rp. 5 / 30 second for the minute of third and so on where two first minute Rp. 1.200 or Rp. 300 / 30 second.
