Prepaid SMS Roaming

SMS MO (Message Originated) prepaid in roaming is a SMS sent by an MNO’s prepaid subscriber in an outbound roaming situation.

Our solution

As the world leader in roaming signalling, with over 20 years’ experience and the widest roaming coverage (over 1000 ITU and ANSI destinations), our SS7 offer meets mobile operators’ needs for quality, security and international coverage.

The Prepaid SMS Roaming is located in our network and provides a centralised solution to manage and control in real-time SMS MO prepaid sent by outbound roamers. SMS MO traffic from all outbound roamers (prepaid and postpaid) will be routed by Orange to the Prepaid SMS Roaming platform.

For prepaid customers who don’t have enough credit the Prepaid SMS Roaming platform will block the MO messages.
