Post-Soviet countries are considered to be profitable destinations for terminating GSM traffic. Most of them provide expensive tariffs for international calls while local communication is cheap. Cellular operators of the CIS countries offer advantageous tariff plans for calls, including unlimited ones. The big difference in the cost of a minute of a local call and a rate allows making as much money as possible.

Running your GSM termination business in the post-Soviet space is very promising. But it is important to understand a few nuances. First, in countries with a high average rate, anti-fraud systems are strict. Therefore, be prepared that SIM-cards are quickly locked after activation. We recommend using GoIP gateways in conjunction with the GoAntiFraud tools to protect your SIM-cards, thanks to efficient simulation of human behavior.
At the same time, keep in mind that in some CIS countries the state closely monitors the activity of terminators (for example, in Belarus). Nevertheless, many entrepreneurs successfully start the business in these countries, using the experience of GoAntiFraud.
