What's Been Happening?

Banks are also increasingly using HLR Look Up to validate the IMSI of the SIM card for customers using mobile banking apps such as those on the iPhone and check the MSC field to ensure the customer's country location as an extra layer of security. If you a mobile service provider wanting to enhance security for your customers, talk to us.

DoubleCheck the Network with the iphone App

Whilst mobile operators are offering free unlimited text and call plans between subscribers on the same network, it's becoming increasing challenging for subscribers to identify whether those people they are messaging or calling are actually on the same network!

Looking at the mobile prefix alone simply won't work because of mobile number portability, which is on the increase and already widespread in many countries. The result is that you as subscriber could be spending instead of saving!

Enter DoubleCheck, a unique iPhone app that identifies the mobile operator that any of your numbers in your phone book are subscribed to.

In addition, the mobile network operator of any DoubleChecked contact appears on the iPhone screen every time a call is made or received.

The pain is now gone allowing you to quickly determine if a call is free or not.

“We use RoutoMessaging services for all our mobile marketing services. When the DoubleCheck iPhone application was developed, RoutoMessaging was the only provider we could consider and their robust worldwide service helped us pass on that same level of quality to our customers”, said Nassos Tsadaris, CEO of DoubleIP, Greece.

Ramadan Worldwide Messaging

For almost a decade, RoutoMessaging has been accommodating the surge in SMS traffic from originating worldwide from Muslim countries through festival of Ramadan.

For those of you not in the know about Ramadan, the nature of the Islamic lunar calendar means that it's not possible to predict the exact date when Ramadan starts.

However, estimates on the date are based on the potential visibility of the 'hilal' (waxing crescent moon following a new moon) and this year, the festival is expected to begin around the 10th September.

Ramadan is the time for spiritual reflection, prayer and good deeds. A period of fasting helps teach Muslims the values of self-discipline, generosity and self-restraint, and serves as a reminder of the suffering of others.

Typically, one meal is eaten before sunrise (the Suhoor) and one just after sunset (the Iftar). The end of the fasting period and Ramadan is marked by the sighting of a new moon, and is known as the holiday of Eid ul-Fitr. Roughly translated, Eid ul-Fitr means the Festival of Breaking the Fast and a special celebration is prepared.

Thanks to RoutoMessaging's own SS7-signalling based mobile operator network, complete with its international point code, MCC, MNC and mobile number range, you can directly access hundreds of operators worldwide through your account, encompassing many Muslim countries. So if you're searching for the highest levels of stability and reliability in your messaging routes, get in touch with us and we can ensure you get the most competitive prices possible for your target destinations.

Afraid to Commit? You Don't Need to.

Well actually, it's not that kind of commitment, but for some our customers tell us the other kind of commitment they had locked themselves into, did verge on giving them sleepless nights!

Thankfully, with RoutoMessaging, securing the best rate for high quality SMS termination does not involve monthly commitment.

Why? Simple really. We know that if both price and quality is right, it makes perfect sense to send us all you have for the destinations concerned, bar of course, the messages to secondary providers to validate our delivery quality is perfect.
