Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN)– Airtel Bangladesh has initiated innovative roaming services to offer more affordable services for their clients, a company press statement said.

“This will not only help to save up to 50 percent costs while roaming to India and Sri Lanka but also enhance roaming satisfaction of inbound and outbound roamers,” the statement added.

The new services will include access to home country short code and smart call assistant for inbound roamers to make them feel at home. It will also use roaming quality monitoring to get a clear roaming network visibility for both inbound and outbound roamers.

Smart call assistant (SCA) helps inbound roamers to dial phone numbers from their phone book on right format. It significantly eases local and international call dialing for roaming subscribers by automatically correcting dialing mistakes and ensuring a smooth service usage experience.

Roaming quality monitor (RQM) allows getting a real time view of the network and service performance experienced by roamers, including call and data failures, service adoption trends, Quality of Service (QoS), inter-carrier validation of value-added services and more, according to the statement.

Managing Director of Airtel Bangladesh Chris Tobit said: “We have made international roaming services affordable by reducing the cost for roaming in India and Sri Lanka.”
