Six domestic rice markets were chosen and the weekly wholesale rice prices period from April 2009 to December 2012 were enclose.

Empirical results show that all of these time series are non-stationary in level price and stationary in fist different level were observe in unit root test. The outcome of Engel-Granger co-integration test displayedthat long run equilibrium are exist in all case of selected market pairs. In case of error correction model (ECM) exhibit open up mobile phone uses will accelerated the speed of short run adjustment, i.e. open up mobile phone uses have a positive effect in domestic rice price transmission.
