Ministers and officials hold regular discussions with BT on a range of issues including charges. The charges that BT makes to consumers for calling mobile telephones arise because BT has to pay the mobile company for the call. This is called the termination rate. Under Ofcom regulations, mobile termination rates have been capped by reference to a single flat rate since May 2015.
