Information is everywhere...

Subscribers roaming outside the country are charged extra for incoming SMS.

Damn.

We have been professing vigorously that the freaking networks of the foreign operators are sending multiple CDRs for Mobile Terminating SMS.

J: Extra charging happens only on Tariff Plan X. Charging is fine on Tariff Plan Y.

Bloody Hell. Why does God hate me so much? This may potentially mean that the problem is not with the networks but at our end. There you go. As though we don’t have enough problems already.

T: How do you say that?
J: Check this MSISDN XYZ. This guy is currently roaming in China and he is charged correctly for the SMS he receive. He has subscribed to Tariff Plan Y.

J was right. And there was no clue on why it was so. When you don’t find what you are looking for, you end up looking into what you generally are least interested in. T finds the name of subscriber... And Googles it...

Goodness gracious! It is the silver medalist at Beijing!!

So, that is how J gets his information about roaming subscribers.
