See how we support these challenges** ## Billing As a VoLTE call is routed back home, the visited network is “service unaware”, and can identify it solely as a data stream. Wholesale billing is only possible on a per MB basis, which is incompatible with retail offerings which remain largely on a ‘per minute basis.’ This poses a challenge for the visited network considering that the CS (Circuit Switch) voice call can be 5 times more expensive than a VoLTE call, which can result in revenue leakage. In addition, although the home network will pay less for every VoLTE call as the traffic is routed home, it will be the Home Network’s responsibility to terminate these calls and bear routing costs. ## 2G/3G Decommissioning Operators are increasing their focus on Quality of Service (QoS). With the ongoing shutdown of 2G/3G networks, they need to handle network technologies contingencies and ensure the continuity of the voice service in roaming. Apart from coverage and wholesale targets, capabilities of roaming devices are critical for effective steering. Operators need to handle exceptions, such as roamers who forgot to switch on VoLTE roaming on their handsets and are stuck in networks where voice services are not available. In addition, as traffic is routed home, the home network is required to analyze the dialed number and route the call to its destination. ## Regulation In VoLTE roaming, signaling traffic changes to a completely different protocol: from SS7 to DIAMETER. To comply with their regulatory obligations and general communications principles, operators need to know when their subscribers are traveling abroad and where they are landing. This is only possible with VoLTE enabled or supported tools. The inability to comply with welcome message regulations or to establish ongoing communication with the roamer regarding tariff information, can be a showstopper when it comes to launching new roaming agreements. ![](https://tomiaglobal.com/hubfs/Solutions-T3/video-freeze-frames/solutions-video-freeze-frame-small_0004_VoLTE.jpg) ** ## Enable VoLTE Roaming with TOMIA’s Services VoLTE roaming adoption is thriving.
