Roaming SMS

• Benefit from MCTEL large number of Roaming Agreements
• Send SMS worldwide at low cost
  

Roaming agreements are signed using complicated and time consuming procedures and it may take years for even large mobile networks to establish bilateral roaming agreements with most other networks worldwide. In the meantime, the network operator customers are able to establish voice calls worldwide, but could only send SMS to a limited number of countries, leading to subscriber complaints and a revenue loss for the operator.

MCTEL operates its own SMS Centers directly connected to the SMS backbone and offers to the mobile network operators a SMS Roaming Platform able to route SMS to most networks worldwide (more than 600 operators are covered).

Thanks to its SMS MO Forwarding feature, MCTEL Roaming Platform is not only able to convey SMS to countries/operators to which the sender network has no roaming agreements, but, very often, replies could be received as well and will be transmitted to the SMS initial originator.
