In many countries, mobile interconnection is regulated and priced differently, depending on the form of interconnection. There are three broad forms of mobile interconnection:
- Fixed-to-mobile interconnection: A mobile network terminates a call from a fixed network. The call might originate from a local fixed operator, a domestic long-distance operator, or an international operator,
- Mobile-to-fixed interconnection: A mobile operator interconnects with a fixed network in order to complete calls for the mobile operator's customers. Again, the fixed network might be owned by a local fixed operator, a domestic long-distance operator, or an international operator,
- Mobile-to-mobile interconnection: A mobile operator interconnects with another mobile operator.
