Early Charging Detection<br />

Get it right for your customers<br />

Use Cases > Revenue Leakage & Fraud Detection<br />

A common phenomenon is the scenario of Early or False Answer during voice call setup<br />

procedures. How do you detect and � ght these cases?<br />

Calls are being charged as if connected,<br />

without ever reaching the called party.<br />

The lack of Active End-to-End monitoring<br />

has led to millions of minutes being<br />

inaccurately billed to the originating<br />

calling parties worldwide. These fraudulent<br />

billings sometimes go unnoticed<br />

because the incremental billed call<br />

duration per user may be in the fraction<br />

of seconds.<br />

Prepaid SIMs used in GSM Gateways (SIM<br />

Boxes) could lead to false answers when<br />

the fraudulent SIM Box SIM credit has<br />

been consumed resulting in an announcement<br />

being played. In this instance the<br />

caller has to pay for the call connection<br />

leading to customer complaints and dissatisfaction<br />

with the service rendered.<br />
