Avoid traffic to Sierra Leone 7 from same CLI

March 24,2009

Dear partners

 

due to complains from Sierra Leone 7 traffic we ask you to not send too many minutes to the same SL number from the same CLI.

As always if possible the best way is to hide CLI or at least to spread the calls over a large amount of numbers.

 

If you need more numbers please do not hesitate to ask.

Clarifications on payouts

April 19,2009

Dear partner

 

we would like to inform, or just remind you, that our payments are done only after traffic confirmation from the carrier statistics since their payout to us is based on them.

 

Our reports, as statistics or active calls, are purely indicative, since many factors can affect our realtime reports.

 

Nonetheless, we think that it's very important for you to see how traffic is going: see CLIs, time of call, volumes and so on.

 

 

Finally, the chargebacks claimed by the carreir have also to be reversed back to you since we are obliged by contract to pay back the carrier in case of fraud traffic.

 

Chargebacks claimed by the carrier have to be proved, then we will supply the same proof to you as well.

 

Any comment is welcome.

 

We wish you a long and prosperous cooperation with us.

[problem] ALERT : SAO TOME + EAST TIMOR Beware!

April 24,2009

DEAR PARTNERS

 

Sao Tome Carrier is doing huge chargebacks without showing proof.

 

They are retroactive since november 2008!

 

We removed ALL Sao Tome numbers from our pool and we strongly recommend you to not use any Sao Tome / East Timor from other sources for your own safety.

Sierra Leone payments update - 50% PAID TODAY!

Dear Partners

We will inform you when the remaining part will be paid as soon as we get informations from the carrier.

Sierra Leone payment 50% April due in the next couple of days

June 3,2009

Dear partners

 

today or tomorrow we will received the missing 50% of Sierra Leone payment from carrier for April period.

 

As soon as the money touch our account we will remit your due to you

The above are a sample of typical news bulletins from a well known legitimate international premium rate number supplier.

 

So leaving aside what the above comments are referring to it's a complete myth to say the Networks will lose out if the victims of the theft of stolen phones do not hand over the money for those obviously criminally generated bills.

 

and remember the UK Networks are part of multi-national groups. T-Mobile UK deals with 'T-Mobile SA' and Vodafone UK deals with 'Vodafone Spain' and o2 UK will deal with 'o2 Spain' etc etc
