Enter iRoamAssure - a comprehensive solution designed to mitigate roaming fraud and safeguard your revenue. This blog explores how iRoamAssure works, its features, and the benefits it brings to your business.

Understanding Roaming Fraud:

Roaming fraud involves unauthorized use of mobile services by individuals or devices while outside the home network. It can take various forms, including:

1. Subscription Fraud: Fraudsters obtain SIM cards using fake identities and run up high roaming bills.

2.  Cloning Fraud: Fraudsters duplicate SIM card information to make unauthorized calls and use data services.

3. Interconnect Bypass Fraud: Unauthorized routes are created to bypass standard interconnect fees.

These fraudulent activities not only lead to significant revenue losses but also strain network resources and degrade service quality.
