International Numbering Plan

Hi Again,

       On top of the Malaysian MNP number verification, I would also like to share the International Numbering Plan where you can look at your mobile number and the Original Network provider that you currently using.

        Here are the snapshot of the web-page and you can see there has a lot of options that you can look around. Please give a try and enjoy!

One of the menu in there.

Some sample using the Malaysian MSISDN.

Hi Folks,

       Please refer to below web-page if you would like to check which Telco Operator that your family member, buddy, colleague tied to. This would be easy for you to check whether you are calling on-net or off-network. Enjoy!

How do I configure SMPP?

The short message peer-to-peer protocol (SMPP) is a telecommunications industry protocol for exchanging SMS messages between SMS peer entities such as short message service centers. It is often used to allow third parties (for example, value-added service providers like news organizations) to submit messages, sometimes in bulk.

The protocol is based on pairs of request/response PDUs (protocol data units, or packets) exchanged over OSI layer 4 (TCP/IP session or X.25 SVC3) connections. PDUs are binary encoded for efficiency.

The most commonly used versions of SMPP are v3.3 (the most widely supported standard) and v3.4, which adds transceiver support (single connections that can send and receive messages). Data exchange can be synchronous, (each peer waits for a response for each PDU being sent) or asynchronous (messages are received and transmitted in independent threads with the use of buffers and timers). The latest version of SMPP is v5.0.

How the Intelligent Network works?

In telecommunication company, telecommunications services that provided to their customer is very important. Company will get revenue by providing value-added service to their customer. One of value-added service enabler for telecommunication company is Intelligent Network or known as IN. IN can provide and differentiate their product between their competitor. IN mainly used for Prepaid Charging, in Prepaid Charging system IN hold configuration about charging matrix, discount, bonus and many other prepaid charging service can provided by IN.
Beside used for prepaid charging, IN also can provide another telecommunication service, such as Friend and Family Promo, Corporate User Group, Single IMSI multiple MMDN and many other

 telecommunication service can be provided. IN consist of some network element such as: SCP(service control point), SMP(service management point), SDP(service data point) and RBI. Lets give a brief overview of IN network element:

• SCP : SCP mainly used for call control that communicate to MSC or STP. SCP usually also act as the charging and rating application.
• SMP: SMP used for management of IN. It interact with person or application to make modification of all network element in IN.
• SDP: SDP used for data management, it will used for manipulating and querying data in realtime. All deduction of prepaid subscriber will be done by SDP in realtime
• RBI: RBI used for hold Call Data Record. It will be used by another party to calculate revenue from Intelligent Network. Usually Datawarehouse will used data on RBI.

All of this network element communicate in SS7 and IP based. With the integration of all network element in IN Telecommunications Services will be provided to the customer and revenue will come to the telecommunication company.
