However, the Tier 2 or Tier 3 providers have to lease out the connection from the higher tiers in order to supply them to their customers. That is to say that a Tier 2 service provider has to lease the service from Tier1 providers and a Tier 3 has to lease services from tier 2 providers.

Though the charges are low but still they exist.

They can buy these minutes either from the resellers or from the wholesalers at affordable costs and utilise the minutes for their business purposes. The same is true in-case of home use. The customers can buy these minutes and also manage their calls by terminating the same after use through a process called the 'call termination'. The termination is done with three types of carries known as Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3. Tier 1 carriers have their own physical network for terminating a call. Tier 2 leases services of tier 1 to terminate a call. Tier 3 uses either tier 2 or tier 1 carrier to terminate the calls.
