Local Roaming Number
Product Description
Although the ability to roam is the greatest advantage of GSM but international subscribers often turn their handsets off, reject incoming calls to reduce their roaming expenses. They even purchase local prepaid SIM cards to make or receive calls with that local number but it involves additional hassles of changing SIM and to miss the SMS or calls from their international roaming number or keeping two handsets. Telemune Local Roaming Number solution addresses this problem for international inbound prepaid or postpaid roamers.
With Telemune solution, operator can provide to its inbound roamers a local virtual mobile number when the inbound roamer latches to their network using its international roaming number. Telemune Local Roaming Number service provides roamers with all the benefits of a local number, eliminating the need for them to acquire a foreign SIM card. With this, inbound roamer is able to make and receive calls from his virtual local mobile numberas well as from his international roaming number.
Local Roaming Number enables operators to dynamically provision roamers with a local number to make and receive local calls on the visited network. Cost-conscious roamers and frequent travelers will therefore no longer need to purchase prepaid SIM cards from a non-related visited network operator to take advantage of cheaper local call tariffs. Using prepaid SIMs means not only a lost customer for the home and its affiliated network operator, but travelers need to constantly swap cards to make or receive international and local calls. Local Call Number eliminates this hassle as the local number is active concurrently with the traveler s home mobile number. Same service of providing virtual local mobile number is also provided to prepaid international roaming subscribers with call barring to setup a prepaid account in the visited network and make outgoing calls that are economical and rated real-time.
