VivaCell, a subsidiary of Mobile TeleSystems OJSC (NYSE: MBT), said Tuesday it will use MACH’s Financial Clearing and IOT Check (inter-operator tariff) platforms, while also extending its contract for MACH Data Clearing.
VivaCell is the leading Armenian mobile operator. The company manages and operates a mobile services network which transcends national borders, integrating Armenia with other mobile networks around the world.
VivaCell has invested in MACH IOT Check, which proactively ensures that Inter-Operator Tariffs (IOTs) are correct when a user is roaming. MACH IOT Check ensures that VivaCell is proofed against incorrect tariffs, and that their subscribers don't incur excess roaming charges.
The company works with 265 mobile operators, thus allowing its subscribers to roam in 145 countries.
VivaCell's adoption of MACH Finance and IOT Check runs alongside MACH Data Clearing. MACH Data Clearing enables VivaCell and other mobile operators to exchange billing and settlement information on which the whole business concept of international roaming is based.
