PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT (To Prospectus dated June 19, 2012)

BRITISH TELECOMMUNICATIONS PUBLIC LIMITED COMPANY
(incorporated with limited liability in England and Wales under the Companies Acts 1948 to 1981) (Registered Number: 1800000)
$750,000,000 2.000% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2015
$500,000,000 FLOATING RATE SENIOR NOTES DUE 2013

The $750,000,000 fixed rate senior notes due 2015 (the "fixed rate notes") will bear interest at 2.000% per year. Interest on the
fixed rate notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 22 and December 22 of each year, beginning on December 22, 2012.
The fixed rate notes will mature at 100% of their principal amount on June 22, 2015.
The $500,000,000 floating rate senior notes due 2013 (the "floating rate notes" and, together with the fixed rate notes, the
"notes") will bear interest at a rate equal to the then applicable U.S. dollar three-month LIBOR rate plus 1.125%. We will pay
interest on the floating rate notes each March 20, June 20, September 20, and December 20, commencing on September 20, 2012. The
floating rate notes will mature at 100% of their principal amount on December 20, 2013.
The notes will be senior and unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our present and future unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness. The notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $200,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof.
We may redeem the fixed rate notes, in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the
principal amount of such notes or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest
thereon, discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis at the Treasury Rate plus 0.250%, plus in each case interest
accrued to, but not including, the date of redemption.
Application will be made to the Financial Services Authority in its capacity as competent authority under the Financial Services
and Markets Act 2000 (the "U.K. Listing Authority") for the notes to be admitted to the official list of the U.K. Listing Authority (the
"Official List") and to the London Stock Exchange plc (the "London Stock Exchange") for the notes to be admitted to trading on the
London Stock Exchange's regulated market. References in this document to notes being "listed" (and all related references) shall
mean that such notes have been admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange's regulated market and have been admitted to the
Official List. The London Stock Exchange's regulated market is a regulated market for the purposes of the Directive 2004/39/EC of
the European Parliament and of the Council on markets in financial instruments.

supplement.

Provisions Relating to All Notes:
Ranking
The notes will rank equally without any preference among themselves and equally
with all of our present and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
Restrictive Covenants
The indenture relating to the notes contains a negative covenant restricting our
ability to create, assume or incur liens to secure present or future capital markets
indebtedness. For more information, see "Description of Debt Securities We May
Offer Restrictive Covenants Negative Pledge" in the prospectus.
However, the indenture does not contain any negative covenants restricting our
ability to make payments, incur indebtedness, dispose of assets, enter into
sale-leaseback transactions, issue and sell capital stock, enter into transactions
with affiliates or engage in business other than our present business.
Change of Control and Put Event
Unless we have given notice of redemption, the holder of each note will have the
option to require us to redeem or, at our option, purchase (or procure the purchase
of) that note on the Optional Redemption Date at 101% of its principal amount
together with interest accrued to (but excluding) the Optional Redemption Date

the deduction. If we are required to make such an increased payment, we may
redeem the relevant notes, in whole but not in part, at a price equal to 100% of
their principal amount plus accrued interest.
