In today’s telecoms landscape, international calls are burdened with unforeseen costs, thanks to origin-based rating (OBR). If you’re not in control of when and how surcharges apply to your traffic, you might end up paying up to 300 times the expected rate, escalating bills to catastrophic levels.
Today, 40 countries impose origin-based surcharges, and more are likely to follow – so this issue will keep affecting more routes and more operators. Incorrect CLI formatting alone can result in charges hundreds of times higher than standard rates, leading to devastating financial shocks for businesses.

We have developed a platform uniquely equipped to handle these challenges. Our solution offers compliant and transparent numbering, straightforward settlement processes, and robust fraud prevention mechanisms.
