Mobile phone users overcharged by £1bn
Mobile phone customers are being overcharged by as much as £1 billion a year, according to a senior BT executive quoted in the Guardian.The claim adds another reason for callers to use skinttariff.com access codes to make cheap international calls.
BT's new head of consumer business John Petter told the newspaper: "The mobile companies are setting the termination prices well in excess of their costs. Customers are being overcharged to the tune of £1 billion."
The issue of was first brought up by operator 3 Mobile, which offers deals through skinttariffs.com. The operator called on the Competition Commission to ban the five mobile networks from charging to connect calls to each other's networks and to BT landlines.
Petter made his comments as the Competition Appeal Tribunal prepared to meet today to decide how to respond to the so-called mobile termination rates that operators charge each other to connect calls.
