as in more than 250 cities in Canada. 

The collaboration with Voicestream comes follows Spice’s tie-up with Pacific Bell, Bell South, Powertel and Microcell to widen its international reach. Sean Dexter, Managing Director, Spice Telecom, Karnataka circle said, "With international long distance rates being slashed, completing our roaming service coverage of the American continent is a major value add for our customers who travel to the States and visitors to Karnataka from the States.
