XConnect has been nominated for ‘Best Voice Service Innovation’ in Capacity’s Global Carrier Awards 2020. We have been recognised for our commitment in enhancing our carrier customers’ data, by developing our global numbering intelligence, and finding a solution for tackling Origin Based Rating (OBR).
The quality of data you use in your business directly impacts your customer experience, efficiency and performance. Adding new data sets to your operations and enhancing the quality of your data can be a way to gain a competitive edge and increase profitability.
Origin Based Rating (OBR) is deployed in more than 10 EU countries as well as a growing number of destinations across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Carriers face an increasingly complex environment where OBR is being applied on a growing number of networks on an almost monthly basis.
Origin Based Rating, also known as Origin Based Charging for voice termination, takes into account both the origination and termination of a call when billing. The terminating network (usually mobile) will apply a surcharge to the mobile termination rates (MTRs) based on the country of the call’s origin.
Case Study: A Tier 2 carrier operating across Europe and the Middle East selected XConnect to help it to stop future losses resulting from Origin Based Rating (OBR) on its voice traffic in Germany.
