In essence, the mobile subscribers currently staff two purposes: as far away from home is usually used as a phone, normal phone; returned to the house, used as a phone call home, but usually only pay for fixed - line standard. In addition, they have full access to their phone's address book.
An operator can rely on additional income from these services in two ways. For postpaid subscribers (which is to make the bills each month), it is possible to charge a higher monthly because of the ease provided by the operator. A pre-paid subscribers (the top when they need their sim), she can easily drag and low levels in a call using a call while at home.
There are a number of ways other Location Based Billing can be used. One of them is a simple call rates in some areas, such as in shopping centers. Additional revenue can be found in this case for cross-promotion associated with the owners of shopping centers.
Another way is to provide affordable calling rates in areas where the cell capacity underutilised. This is as a way to provide airline tickets cheap airline where many empty seats. Business model depends on the fact that the marginal cost of calling in underutilised areas are lower than in areas close to call.
There are two types of technology that can be used for the implementation of Location Based Billing:
Network-Based
When a call is made, the Intelligent Network can search for Cell-ID of the cell tower through which the call is made. Cell-ID can be compared with the list of IDS Cell-house based on location. If the caller is determined at home, then the local level is charged at home, if not charged the normal price of phone calls. Two important parameters for such systems in-zone reliability and public areas. I-zone reliability of the many times that the call is made from the home is billed in the correct amount. The size of the area is the area around the house that calls can be made at the local level the house.
Simple implementation of the poor in-zone reliability and a very large size. More advanced methods that take probabilistic methods to determine whether the caller in the home can be a very large zone of reliability, or very small size of the area. A smaller size for the area under the calls made in reducing the level of the home-zone, to improve the business case. Higher in-zone reliability means fewer customer complaints, service to enhance customer satisfaction and business cases.
Benefits of Web-based technology works is that all phones. And lost in the zone of poor reliability, large size, inability to pay for incoming calls home rate area home, inability to work together prior to paying customers, and it is difficult for customers to know the call rates before calling.
SIM-based
In this approach, a small software program, known as applets, the user is a sim card bears. Continuously monitors the user's home applets, and the network signal (normal SMS), when the user away from home or come to the house. Benefits sim-based approach is very high in the zone reliability, an area very small size, ability to pay for incoming calls home zone tariffs, the ability to work with pre-paid customers, and calls can be controlled rates before calling. Loss of sim-based approach is only working on the phone that the Sim Tool Kit based on the standard.
In short, Location Based Billing can increase Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and providing attractive benefits for customers.
