Mobile phone networks overcharging by £1bn per year
Mobile phone users are being overcharged by around £1 billion per year, according to telecoms operator BT. In a call for Ofcom, the telecoms regulator, to intervene, BT has accused mobile phone network operators of significantly over-charging for calls between each other's networks. The issue was first highlighted by 3 Mobile (reported in 'In the News' on 19 March 2008) which has called on the Competition Commission to ban the UK's five mobile networks - 3, O2, Orange, Vodafone and T-Mobile - from charging to connect calls to each other's networks and to BT landlines.
It is hoped that such a ban would allow mobile phone users to benefit from unlimited call packages, such as those offered on landlines by BT and Talk Talk.
