When you make a call from your landline to a mobile, or a call from your mobile to another network, you’re paying a “carriage fee” called an MTR (Mobile Termination rate). This is typically 4.7p a minute. BT, 3 Moneysupermarket and others have clubbed together to start the “Terminate The Rate” campaign, aiming to bring in fairer charges for UK consumers.
Paying too much for your mobile calls? Sign up to the petition at http://www.terminatetherate.org , which will be presented to UK regulator Ofcom. You’re also encouraged to send an email to your local MP, which only takes a couple of ticks.
