Interconnection Rates

The National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (NTRC) wishes to inform the general public of the new interconnection rates that have been approved for St. Vincent and the Grenadines with effect from June 1, 2018. These wholesale rates are the charges the Telecommunications Providers pay to each other when a call or text message (SMS) is sent from one network to the other.

These rates are per minute rates and are expressed in EC dollars. A three-tier rate structure will be implemented from June 1, 2018. The below table shows the new rates and compares them to the current rates.
