It's the charge made by the network that terminate the call, ie the one the person you are calling is on.

Historically not all networks charge the same rate , O2 and Vodafone have one rate, TM/Orange another, and three a third rate. If memory serves right three get the least per minute as a termination charge with VF/O2 getting the most, so it's in Threes interest to get it reduced or at least harmonised.

No, Three had the highest fees for incoming calls to their network, which is part of what made their TerminateTheRate campaign so disingenuous

Has anyone stuck out their neck yet and asked when BT will be cutting its rates for calling to mobiles?

Or to come to another point, will BT be cutting its vastly higher wholesale charges to mobile networks for connecting calls to 0845 and 0870 numbers?
