Termination rates

In telephony, call termination refers to the service provided when a telephone network completes (or "terminates") the connection of a call made by a subscriber using another telephone network with a subscriber using the network which makes the connection complete. In relation to mobile telephone calls, termination can apply to either a call made from a fixed telephone line or a call from another mobile phone network. The termination rate is the price one telephone network operator charges another for calls that come from the other operator and terminate with a customer on its own network. The termination rate is one of the three components in the cost of providing telephone service, and the one subject to the most variation.
