The Problem

International consumers relied on scratch cards and memorized PINs. They wanted a modern app that handled account balances, promotions, and auto-dialing with reliable voice quality.

The Challenge

We had to integrate carrier-grade VoIP gateways, provide real-time rate updates, and deliver a frictionless dialing experience that works across varied network conditions.

The Result

Customers saw 30% fewer dropped calls, recharge frequency increased thanks to in-app promotions, and support teams reported fewer PIN-related tickets.

Key Requirements

  • Deliver high-quality voice experiences with minimal configuration for end users.
  • Support secure, rapid top-ups and track balances in real time.
  • Provide carriers with insight into usage patterns and promotion performance.

Results & Impact

  • Call drop issues decreased 30% due to smarter gateway routing and monitoring.
  • Recharge frequency increased 22% through in-app promotions and auto-recharge.
  • Customer support tickets regarding PIN or access number confusion dropped significantly.
