From 1 January 2022, the voice termination rates for both mobile and fixed services in Romania will decrease following the implementation of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/654. Thus, the mobile telephony operators on the Romanian market will charge 0.55 eurocents/minute for terminating mobile voice calls on their individual networks, while the fixed telephony operators will charge 0.07 eurocents/minute for terminating fixed voice calls on their individual networks.

Maximum mobile voice termination rate

The mobile voice call termination rate will be reduced by almost 22% compared to the current one and will be charged by all the mobile operators designated as having significant power on the market for call termination on individual public telephone networks provided at a mobile location.

The Commission Regulation also sets the maximum rates for the next years, to be applied in Romania, as well, as follows:

- 0.4 eurocents/minute between 1 January  and 31 December 2023;

- 0.2 eurocents/minute from 1 January 2024.

Maximum fixed voice termination rate

The fixed voice call termination rate will be diminished by approximately 10% compared to the current one and will be charged by all the fixed operators designated as having significant power on the market for call termination on individual public telephone networks provided at a fixed location. This is the last tariff reduction provided by the Regulation.

Termination rates

A termination rate is the price paid by a telephone service provider to another operator on whose network the call made by the former’s users is terminated. This price is included in the tariff applied to the end-user initiating the call.
