Reliance Communications hikes call tariffs by 20 percent



Reliance Communications, a part of the Anil Ambani-led Reliance Group, has increased call tarrifs for its CDMA and GSM connections by 20 percent in selected circles, officials said on Sunday.
‘The tariff has been increased from 1 paisa to 1.2 paise per second in most of the circles,’ a senior executive said.

My other pet peeve is that the context sensitive help doesn’t indicate that you need the quotes around your pair so entering the example:

Tips and Tricks for Using Skype
