Lower mobile rates to benefit consumers

Ofcom today announced a reduction in mobile termination rates – the wholesale charges that mobile operators make to other operators to connect calls to their networks – designed to benefit UK consumers.

From 1 April, Ofcom will place a cap on the rates charged by all four national mobile network operators – 3UK, O2, Everything Everywhere and Vodafone. This will lead to around an 80% reduction in termination rates over the next four years. The reduction for 2011 is 1.52p per minute (1.82 per minute for 3UK).

We are pleased to pass on the reduction in the cost of calls from landline to mobile phones from 1st April 2011 and will be contacting customers to advise them of the tariff which will apply from 1st April 2011.

If you are not a customer of Plum Communications contact us now to find out how you would benefit from the reduction.
