What is a mobile surcharge?

Hello

Mobile termination charges are quite common as many countries use a “calling party pays” framework. Some international carriers charge AT&T higher prices to terminate calls on wireless devices and specialized services (e.g. Premium Rates Services,) versus wireline phones. In order to recover these additional fees, AT&T shall add a mobile termination charge to these types of calls. The customer will see only one per-minute price on their bill for a call where this termination charge applies. This single per-minute price is a combination of our international dialing rate and the mobile termination charge.
