BT’s promise

BT is committed to giving you great value products, promotions, deals and bundles. We’ve already managed to squeeze more out of the reduced regulated termination rates than expected, in order to offer even better prices to our customers. BT wants to offer ‘all-you-can-eat’ packages where you pay a set price and have the peace of mind that all calls will be covered, including those to mobiles. Current termination rates make that impossible.

BT says:

“This is a massive issue for landline customers. Last year they made 13 billion calls to mobiles (around half of these are BT customers), which gave the mobile operators a £750m bonus.”

“Bearing in mind the cost of Mobile Termination Rates, it’s easy to see how cheap calls to mobiles could be if termination rates were reduced to around a penny or less.”
