Historically a small percentage of calls terminated on BT’s VMP (Voice and Multi Media Platform) and due to the connectivity of this platform attracted a variable termination payment of single tandem or double tandem short, medium or long depending upon Operator connectivity etc.

BT is interested in hearing from Communications Providers (CP) at any time when they are concerned about or not satisfied with the way in which BT is delivering or complying with the BT Undertakings.

BT would like to announce some changes we have made to both the Carrier Price List (CPL) and the Service Provider Price List. 

Please note that the introduction of Directory Enquiry 118049 service has now been cancelled by the code owner.

From the 27/10/2006, Communication Providers (CPs) will see a number of Geographic Number Portability (GNP) routing plans appear on the Routing Plan Database (RPD). No action is required by CPs.
