How it works?

Fake Call use cases:

if subscriber A does not have enough funds on the account to make a call;
subscriber B’s line is busy;
subscriber B is unavailable;
temporary network problems (for example: network breakdown);
subscriber A cancels the call before the connection was established.

The system detects and responds to the event according to the configured scenarios: sends a call on behalf of subscriber A with an instant hang up or sends a notification with SMS to subscriber B.

Subscriber B receives information about a missed call, which urges him/her to call back to subscriber A.

In case of a failed attempt of subscriber B to make a call to subscriber A, another attempt is made using the configurable timer. If after the set time and a certain number of attempts the call fails to establish. The system will generate an SMS- notification on behalf of subscriber B to the "unavailable" subscriber A.

Bercut helps Tele2 create new products under other rules

Bercut remained in the shadow of Tele2 for a long time. The technological solutions delivered by the company to Tele2 have drastically changed the performance of that telecom giant. Making payments by a smartphone, retaining a mobile number after switch to another operator and selling unused traffic — all those services have been successfully implemented, also due to Bercut involvement as a BSS partner.
