VimpelCom is one of the ten largest telecommunications companies in the world that provide cellular services. It operates in 13 countries and the number of its subscribers has reached 205.5 million. Entrepreneurs who terminate voice traffic often choose this operator to terminate international traffic via the selected route.
In addition to Russia, VimpelCom provides mobile services in the following countries (mainly under the Beeline brand):
- Uzbekistan;
- Kazakhstan;
- Armenia;
- Georgia;
- Kyrgyzstan;
- Cambodia;
- Laos;
- Tajikistan.
Terminators choose many of these countries as destinations for terminating traffic. VoIP call rates differ from country to country. For example, in Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Laos, the average cost per minute of conversation varies from $0.02 to $0.03. At the same time, it is more profitable to terminate in Tajikistan, Georgia, and Armenia. In these countries, the average rate ranges from $0.07 to $0.13.
In most of the above countries, VimpelCom takes a leading position in local mobile markets. This means that it provides large amounts of international traffic. However, please note that the major GSM operators are particularly serious in the development of Antifraud systems and are not stingy about investing in them. This is due to the fact that they lose huge amounts of potential profit due to the re-filing. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure reliable protection of SIM-cards when terminating calls since there is a high risk of their blocking.
