The Rise of the MVNE

Discover the pivotal role of MVNEs in shaping the telecom industry. Telgoo5's insights dive into the rise of enablers and their transformative impact on MVNO operations.

The-Rise-of-the-MVNE.jpg
 

The MVNO business model is constantly changing. Unlike previous times, MVNOs are no longer reselling MNO services under different brand names while trying to address the needs of different target markets; markets like senior citizens or prepaid calling. Many MVNO’s are keen on expanding their services beyond traditional offerings.

On top of that, we have several industry summits which cater to MNVO’s made possible by the differentiating services offered. Why all these differentiations one may ask? One main reason is that MVNOs are keen on totally differentiating themselves from the MNO networks that they are currently using, so that they can increase their customer base and customer loyalty.

Furthermore, because MVNOs may specialize in marketing unlike MNOs, they might also pick up several trending services – thereby capitalizing on various trends. If you are able to roll out a new and cool service, revenue will likely be impacted positively..

Billing Services

It’s important for an MVNO to have its own billing service. By having a reliable billing service, an MVNO is able to launch new offers, prepaid plans etc. Billing software is expensive to purchase and that’s where MVNEs come in.

By hosting several MVNOs on their platforms, MVNEs are able to minimize the cost on the billing software by sharing the cost with the MVNOs.

Complexity

If an MVNO wants to offer a service where the customers will be able to automatically switch their calls to Wi-Fi, what would they do? A great example is Virgin Mobile, which automatically detects Wi-Fi connections, thereby allowing the users to make free calls.

If an MVNO that does not use the services of an MVNE wanted to allow users to switch off a cellular call automatically to Wi-Fi, some type of infrastructure which will interact with the MNO would be required.

At this point in time the MVNO will be required to get into some type of relationships and service nodes with ISP. This in turn implies more complexity. At Telgoo5, we specialize in offering MVNOs fast and efficient ways of offering new services.

As mentioned earlier, by working with numerous MVNOs, we are able to offer groundbreaking services at affordable prices.

Evolving as an MVNO

Once you have launched as an MVNO, you will begin to evolve as the days goes by. You can measure these evolutions in a number of ways, from revenues collected, profit increases, employee growth or additional services offered. To evolve accordingly, you need an MVNE that clearly knows the most significant aspects of your evolution, market insights.

What MVNO Owners Need to Know About 5G

Uncover the impact of 5G on MVNO operations. Telgoo5's insights provide MVNO owners with valuable knowledge about harnessing the potential of 5G technology.

What-MVNO-Owners-Need-to-Know-About-5G.jpg
 

To keep your Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) relevant and noteworthy at all times, you always need to be keeping up with the latest mobile trends. Outdated services and offerings will quickly begin to lose you subscribers as consumers are always seeking the “next big thing”.

Said “next big thing” in question here is undoubtedly 5G technology as it has created quite a buzz around the mobile spectrum as of late. For the owner of an MVNO, the vital question becomes ‘how is this going to impact your network and what are the key details that you need to be conscious of?’

There is Potential for 5G Technology to Completely Change the Game

As for what 5G technology is, it is simply the latest wireless network generation. In addition to offering vastly improved speeds, 5G also has the capability of minimizing latency issues. Additionally it is going to enhance flexibility, as it allows for more devices to be connected simultaneously.

Those in the mobile industry have even gone as far as to claim that 5G could be one of the most influential and groundbreaking technologies seen in years. Before long, it will become the standard, and inferior networks will fade out.

Its Availability is Currently Limited

As it stands currently, 5G is not widely available across the major carriers. This is likely to change, as the year 2020 is set to be a monumental one regarding the rise of the 5G technology. It is not as if everyone can get their hands on the improved network; it is a bit more complicated than that.

The true reality is that the full potential of 5G is probably not going to be reached for the next few years. That said the global 5G innovation is going to be making more of an impact than some MVNOs will be ready for.

Current MVNOs are Planning to Offer 5G

One of the potential roadblocks your MVNO network is going to experience is if and when you can get your hands on 5G technology. The carrier or carriers you offer coverage from are going to initially offer their new groundbreaking network to some of their larger partnerships.

The good news is there are smaller brands that are intending to provide 5G-based services. Several MVNO owners have gone on record to claim that their platform would be delivering such experiences to their consumers.

All this news wraps up to the reality that your Wireless MVNO needs to account for the various demographics of users that are itching to utilize such network speeds. 4G is far from extinct but you need to act fast as before you know it, the standard will be changed to the 5G network.

Additionally, one must consider which Mobile Virtual Network Enabler (MVNE) you do business through. At Telgoo5 we fully understand that the market changes and adapts oftentimes quicker than you can handle. With our constantly evolving platform and software, contact us today to connect with an enabler you can rely on.

Ways to Gather More Traffic for Your MVNO Network

It is one thing to start your own Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) and it is a completely different obstacle to achieve greatness with it. Much like with other business start-ups, there is a real risk of failure that you have to come to terms with.

Ways-to-Gather-More-Traffic-for-Your-MVNO-Network.jpg
 

It is one thing to start your own Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) and it is a completely different obstacle to achieve greatness with it. Much like with other business start-ups, there is a real risk of failure that you have to come to terms with.

But, with hard work, planning, diligence, and assistance, your platform could become a revelation that the mobile industry thrives upon. That said, in order for this to be attainable, you must have a steady and reliable consumer base that continues to drive your company forward.

Gathering such traffic for your network is not going to be an overnight process but there certainly are tasks and strategies that you can execute to enhance the likelihood of it occurring.

Pay Special Attention to Your Clientele

The telecommunications industry is dominated by individuals purchasing phone network services. What one needs to remember is that MVNOs provide consumers with cheaper and oftentimes more convenient alternatives to the services and packages that are offered from major carriers.

In turn, it is vital to establish a strong rapport with every potential customer you come in contact with. Create an environment that makes each individual feel understood and  important to your company. Delivering such an experience can create a positive buzz about your company.

Consider Posting on Social Media

The MVNO platform you offer could deliver fantastic and unique services found nowhere else, but if no one is aware of your services it will be difficult to grow your brand. To combat this potential roadblock, it is wise to do all you can to spread the word of your virtual operator and all the benefits it has to offer.

One such way to do so is via social media. Popular platforms such as Instagram and Facebook can be excellent mediums to get more people to notice and discuss your brand. These platforms are a means of advertisement and provide you with the opportunity to reach more consumers on a global scale

Additionally, you could utilize this same approach for email marketing. Reach out to your consumers, offer special promotions and let them know about your services in a more personalized manner. This can be a slippery slope, however, as you need to be cautious not to spam your customers or potential customers with an influx of emails.

Be Smart About the Services You Offer

It can’t be overstated enough how critical it is for MVNO providers to carefully consider the services and mobile packages that their network promises. Providing the right services can be just as important as advertising the services to the right markets.

Mobile users will only switch to your brand if they believe they will benefit from the switch. If their current MVNO presents them with speeds, prices and overall modules that they are satisfied with, it will take some enticing to pull them towards your brand.

What you can also strongly consider is partnering with a top-of-the-line enabler that can do their most to handle the logistics and backend needs of your virtual operator. Here at Telgoo5, we offer just that and our extensive experience in the field is something you can rely on. We would love to hear from you and your company today.

Ways to Better Establish Your MVNO Brand

Due to the oversaturated market of mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), it is as difficult as ever to establish a new and engaging network that will gain notoriety. It is possible, however, and is something that is paramount if you have any interest at all in starting and ultimately scaling your brand.

Ways-to-Better-Establish-Your-MVNO-Brand-1.jpg
 

Due to the oversaturated market of mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs), it is as difficult as ever to establish a new and engaging network that will gain notoriety. It is possible, however, and is something that is paramount if you have any interest at all in starting and ultimately scaling your brand.

The good news is there are certain marketing strategies that you can implement into the advertisement-end of things to help gain steam and popularity for your MVNO platform. And, none of them are too terribly difficult to set into action.

Gain a Rapport with Your Consumers

It is no secret that the success of any business comes down to the relationships that they establish with their consumers. This is no different for an MVNO so be prepared to dedicate your time and effort to satisfy your customers to the fullest.

When one develops a rapport with customers, the chances are greater that they will then spread the word of your brand. Given the impact the mobile industry has on society, there is an opportunity for your brand to scale significantly taking the time to prove to your customers that you truly do care about them.

Dive into Social Media

In many ways, the success of your MVNO service hinges on the social media presence that you establish for it. In the modern world, in fact, there may not be a more reliable and successful means of building your brand than with the juggernaut known as social media.

This goes back to the strategy of advertising, as the more eyes you get on your network, the more customers you will target. Then again, it is also important to integrate an efficient social media strategy. Keeping the demographic that you are targeting in mind is an excellent way to start growing your social media presence.

Use the Best Technology

In the realm of what modern MVNOs are offering users, your network needs to offer services and utilize technologies that are as good or better than competitors. Indeed, the cycle of technology evolves very quickly, but you can’t afford for your brand to fall victim to it.

Harping back on the idea that your consumers need to be thrilled with your platform, you will get lost in the shuffle if what you offer is pedestrian. It is also advised to perform heavy research on the top technologies that are offered to make the overall process smoother.

Think About a Niche

Above all else, it is critically important to avoid becoming just another MVNO platform. All your advertising and spreading of your brand could end up being in vain. However, targeting a specific niche can solve this dilemma.

Think about services and general phone packages that are not often offered in the market. Without question, this will not be an easy task and it takes a scholar-level understanding of the industry to achieve, but it can prove extremely beneficial

Overwhelming can be the best term to describe the feeling of climbing the mountain that is bestowed on you here. Certainly, you will need assistance on your journey and this is where Telgoo5 can be your saving grace.

For 15 years now, we have used our expertise help out various MVNOs around the globe. As an MVNO enabler, it is our due diligence to provide for you what your network needs. Reach out today to learn more.

Key Features of using MVNOs

When it comes to MVNOs, there are many options to consider, not the least of which are the features offered by the MVNO. Knowing what features are available and what is in demand is essential in making the best decision for your needs. The following are some key features to look for when using an MVNO.

Key-Features-of-using-MVNOs.jpg
 

When it comes to MVNOs, there are many options to consider, not the least of which are the features offered by the MVNO. Knowing what features are available and what is in demand is essential in making the best decision for your needs. The following are some key features to look for when using an MVNO.

What is an MVNO?

Before discussing the key features one should be looking for when using an MVNO, it is essential that you understand what an MVNO is and what it does. Mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) are phone carriers that offer phone services generally at lower cost than what you find with the big-name phone companies. These smaller carriers have contracts with big companies that allow them to utilize their service areas.

The MVNO then offers these areas to customers through plans that are generally more accessible and cost effective than utilizing services directly through the big company. Many of these plans include prepaid services that are customizable to fit specific needs and wants. This customization translates into the customer being able to decide which services they truly want to pay for and which ones they don’t. These decisions often allow users to pay less than they would with other larger phone companies by only paying for what they need.

What Features Should You Be Looking For?

Now that we have discussed what exactly an MVNO is, it is time to discuss the features you should be looking for from your provider. One big reason for choosing an MVNO over a big phone company is flexibility. Partnering with the right MVNO will offer you a plan that is customizable to fit your needs and budget. This flexibility allows you to be in control of what you spend and how often you spend it. Your MVNO’s features should also include real-time billing, which will enable you to see and control your usage and expenditures in real-time, not after you have already gone over and have no way of going back.

The coverage area is another feature to pay attention to. Just because a company works with a carrier that features service in your area, does not mean the MVNO will have service in your area. It is essential that you choose an MVNO that provides coverage in your desired area. Finding a company that works with more than one of the big-four carriers will give you better access to coverage areas where ever you need to be.

One final consideration when it comes to features is whether or not you have access to the elements for your device. In other words, will your phone work with your service, are hot spots available, do you have enough data and can it be increased when needed or decreased when not utilized. Each of these will be vital in receiving the service expected from your MVNO.

Choosing the Right MVNO for Your Needs

Now that you are aware of what to look for, you are probably wondering how to find the right MVNO for your needs. The team you choose needs to offer all of the features listed above and many more. When you decide to partner with Telgoo5 supported MVNO for your phone needs, you will get the reliability you need with the flexibility you desire. MVNOs partnered with Telgoo5 offers plans that are customized for you, real-time billing, and through Telgoo5’s partnerships and integrations with the major phone companies and vendors, all of your needs are easily within reach.

Unlocking the Secrets to the Success of Data MVNO amidst Competition

Competition is a two-way street. On one hand, it diminishes profits as telcos are required to reduce the price of their offerings, but at the same time it pushes them to innovate. The situation is especially difficult for a data MVNO that does not have ample resources at its disposal.

Unlocking-the-Secrets-to-the-Success-of-Data-MVNO-amidst-Competition.jpg
 

Competition is a two-way street. On one hand, it diminishes profits as telcos are required to reduce the price of their offerings, but at the same time it pushes them to innovate. The situation is especially difficult for a data MVNO that does not have ample resources at its disposal. 

Challenges faced by Small-Scale MVNOs

MVNOs have become an integral part of telecom operations. Depending on the types of MVNOs, they can be divided into the following categories:

  • Branded reseller

  • Service provider

  • Enhanced SP MVNO

  • Full MVNO

While full MVNOs have control over every service except from network and spectrum (which they get from MNOs), the other three MVNOs depend on MNOs and MVNEs for performing different functions like:

  1. Delivering applications and services to the users

  2. Billing

  3. Activation of customers

  4. Marketing

  5. Customer services

  6. Management of SIMs

  7. Distribution and sales

  8. Management of devices like smartphones, tablets etc.

Due to their dependence on other entities, they work in restricted capacities. Hence, it is important for a data MVNO to choose an MVNE that offers a platform that is conducive to modern-day telecom operations.

How to Unlock Success for Data MVNO?

A small-scale data MVNO cannot change the dynamics of its operations, but it can maximize its outreach by choosing a partner that has the following functionalities:

APIs for different business use cases

An MVNO does not have the financial clout to purchase new software or customize an existing platform to accommodate for new services. As telecom industry is always evolving, it won’t be possible for a data MVNO to keep up with the requirements. For such scenarios, APIs serve as the best resort. A partnering MVNE that offers APIs for different functionalities can help an MVNO to fulfill ad hoc requirements without spending exorbitantly. APIs can help businesses in tasks like:

  • Instant partnerships with new vendors e.g. install an API and access the services of a shipping vendor without going through the red tape.

  • Integrate new databases e.g. APIs from Telgoo5 can be used to access NLAD database.

Convergent billing with OCS

An Online Charging System (OCS) performs real-time convergent charging. This allows MVNOs to send descriptive invoices with the mention of all service charges in a single bill. True real-time convergent charging prevents customers from exceeding data limits, lets them know exactly how much data/calls they have used and hence, promotes transparency between virtual operators and their clients.

Complete reporting and analytics

For an MVNO to be successful, it needs to create new and interesting plans that evoke subscriber interest. A data MVNO needs all the information about its subscribers e.g. their preferred roaming locations, data pack size, income group etc. At Telgoo5, you get access to a slave database that is directly updated by a master database located at the MVNE site. You also get analytics that are integrated into the billing system. With analytics capability, you can receive timely insights about your subscribers’ behavior and immediate needs.

Support for new services

New technologies in telecom industry like IoT and 5G are quite complex to deliver for a small-scale MVNO. But, with the right telecom services platform that offers complete scalability and multi-tenancy, you can handle the voluminous requirements created by the new tech with ease.

Telgoo5 is one of the best MVNEs in the telecom domain because it always updates its platform according to the industry changes. It has many years of experience in the field, and can help you deliver telecom services that are in line with modern-day subscribers’ requirements and preferences.

5 Key Trends in MVNO Service Providers

New research shows that by 2025 the global MVNO service market will reach about $95 billion, growing annually at 7.6 percent. The continued growth in mobile users worldwide and the rise in demand for data services has created a large market opportunity for MVNO providers. The expansion of services, such as mobile cash, M2M (machine to machine) and cloud is driving the demand further for MVNOs.

5-Key-Trends-in-MVNO.jpg
 

New research shows that by 2025 the global MVNO service market will reach about $95 billion, growing annually at 7.6 percent. The continued growth in mobile users worldwide and the rise in demand for data services has created a large market opportunity for MVNO providers. The expansion of services, such as mobile cash, M2M (machine to machine) and cloud is driving the demand further for MVNOs.

Here are five evolving trends that MVNO operators should recognize in order to enhance their scope of services industry-wide.

Innovators will Seize Leadership

While there is going to be a market for the conventional MVNOs for the type of consumer-oriented services they provide, innovation will create new challenges and lead to the emergence of new market leaders. MVNO network connectivity is no longer the critical differentiator. The new model of connectivity and a gamut of packaged offerings must now center around data-driven capabilities, vertical integration, super specialization, and improved customer experience.

Moving Data to Deliver Superior Customer Value

Unlike the traditional MVNO mobile model, the new model will focus on moving data in ways that provide greater value for customers, both individuals and businesses. Process automation could assist in moving of the data. It could move from business to consumer, consumer to business, or machine to machine – to and from multiple endpoints, delivering useful information and driving targeted actions.

Focus on Niche Market Segments and Specific Value Propositions

MVNOs are increasingly recognizing the need to offer customized value propositions for targeted client segments. This allows them to widen the subscriber base by bringing new segments without diluting the brand focus of the host operator network. In a sense, the MVNO serves as the operator’s “sub-brand” to enable them to provide mobile services to wider and diverse populations.

Service offerings of MNVOs are moving away from voice and text and becoming increasingly data-centric. Some are even trying to differentiate their value propositions by integrating with other products and services, such as enterprise cloud or gaming.

Technology Enablers to Expand MVNO Opportunity

Cutting-edge technology enablers are set to drive unprecedented market opportunities for MVNO providers. These include:

  • e-SIMs

  • NFV and SDN (Network Function Virtualization and Software Defined Networks)

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) with data analytics

  • Blockchain

  • Edge Computing

These technologies will support more personalized services for customers, help provide data related to IoT device performance, apart from boosting reliability and efficiency in areas such as supply chain management, mobile banking, mobile payments, and microloans.

Next Generation MVNOs will be Enabled with 5G

Network slicing getting enabled through 5G deployment is likely to be another game changer for MVNOs. A new breed of MVNO service providers will emerge with a focus on verticals offering AI, big data, and cloud solutions, creating new opportunities for enterprises looking to take advantage of these advanced technologies.

Operating Your Own MVNO Platform? Here are a Few Tips to Keep in Mind

If you run your own mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) platform or have done your research to Become MVNO, you may instantly agree that managing such a network is no mean feat. From resolving problems to meeting expectations, you have to go through difficult challenges every single day to keep your MVNO Platform going. At the surface, it may seem as easy as finding a proper mobile virtual network enabler (MVNE) and being done with the task. But in reality, it goes far beyond that essential requirement.

If you run your own mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) platform or have done your research to Become MVNO, you may instantly agree that managing such a network is no mean feat. From resolving problems to meeting expectations, you have to go through difficult challenges every single day to keep your MVNO Platform going. At the surface, it may seem as easy as finding a proper mobile virtual network enabler (MVNE) and being done with the task. But in reality, it goes far beyond that essential requirement.

To help you run your MVNO service with ease, here are a few tips to ensure its smooth operations. Learning them will help you strike a perfect balance between your MVNO and MVNE expectation and delivery, respectively.

Ensure Your Data Services is Up to Par

In today’s day and age, where smartphones are increasingly replacing high-end computers, you must provide high-speed Internet through your MVNO platform.

In 2018, nearly 69.3 percent of global users subscribed to mobile data services. With many MVNOs focusing on affordable content delivery through specially designed data packages, you need to make sure that your data services are up to par as well.

To ensure that you aren’t falling behind your competitors, gather their data rates through extensive market research. Then, compare them with your current MVNE, its quality of service, and your public prices. Crafting competitive data packages and delivering faster internet speeds allows you to become an MVNO service that is a perfect fit for modern mobile users.

Make Sure That You Offer Accurate Billing

Whether you want to become MVNO or already running your platform, you must offer accurate billing services to your customers.

This concept applies to both postpaid and prepaid users, who want to use reliably billed services that steer clear of duplicate charges, late deductions, or incorrect costs. Not providing such services can lead you to receive customer complaints, refund requests, and even cancellations – all of which could be avoided by making your billing as accurate as possible.

With this in mind, make sure that your MVNO and MVNE are capable of delivering precise and easy to understand billing for every customer. This concept doesn’t only keep your customers happy, but also saves your staff from handling an influx of inquiries or complaints that arise from ambiguities in billing.

Save an Ample Amount for Marketing

Even if you find a reliable MVNE for your MVNO platform, set up your virtual infrastructure, and launch your services publicly, it doesn’t amount to tangible success if no one knows about what you are offering to them.

With nearly 140 MVNO brands in the U.S. alone, the competition is nothing less than fierce in this segment of wireless services. When you add the national carriers, namely AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon, this picture gets even more severe. But while it may seem daunting to establish yourself as the primary solution for those seeking an MVNO, it is not that difficult when you follow a holistic marketing plan.

That is why you must allocate ample resources towards marketing to reach out to your target audience. Choosing the right service which can help spread the word for your MVNO platform is essential in this regard. This concept makes sure that you are not just spending money down the drain, but that it is returning the required results to you in terms of new subscriptions.

At Telgoo5, we specialize in helping MVNOs scale to their desired level of success. Whether you run an existing MVNO service or want to become MVNO, we can help you build your digital infrastructure and reach your target audience. This concept makes us a holistic service that is fit for all your needs.

How to Find Reliable MVNO Billing Solutions

If you run your own mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) service, then you would be able to identify with the many issues that the sector brings to the table.

Find-Reliable-MVNO-Billing-Solutions.jpg
 

If you run your own mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) service, then you would be able to identify with the many issues that the sector brings to the table.

Whether it’s poor MVNO service or poor infrastructure, these problems can have a grave effect on the overall growth of your operations. But perhaps the most pressing issue comes in the form of subpar MVNO billing solutions.

It’s because not having an accurate MVNO billing contributes to a host of other issues. A sense of distrust by your customers, redundant processes regarding refunds, and an affected flow of revenue are all part of this equation.

That is why, for your MVNO operations to scale according to your expectations, you must have a reliable billing solution provider. But given that MVNO is a growing market and now has a plethora of providers, finding a credible entity isn’t as easy as it should be.

To help make the process easier for you, here are a few tips to help you find reliable MVNO billing solutions. Following them will help you discover solutions that help your operations every step of the way.

Check if the MVNO Solutions are Cloud Based

Instead of going through generic and obvious factors of credibility, such as the provider’s years of operations in the sector, the smarter approach is to look for more modern aspects in the MVNO service. This concept includes checking for cloud compatibility or support in your MVNO billing system.

It’s because billing systems that are based on cloud come with an array of benefits. For starters, they are safe from failures that arise from the dependency of physical infrastructure. They offer easier accessibility to your systems. And they also provide you with more security. As a result, you can steer clear of many common billing issues from the get-go. This notion also allows you to provide your customers with a higher quality of service.

Keeping this in mind, making sure that your MVNO billing solutions are cloud based is the first and most essential step in finding a reliable service.

Ensure That It Offers Convergent Billing

In today’s day and age, any MVNO service needs to offer convergent billing solutions.

Since most customers often use a mix of different voice, text, and data bundles, premade packages do not always work for the modern user. This is why you need to make sure that your customers are not only able to change their MVNO packages on the fly but that they are billed accurately when they do so.

This notion also helps you sort your charges in a consolidated format, which makes it easier for you to bill your customers according to usage and steer clear of duplicate and incorrect charges.

As a result, you and your customers can enjoy an absolute peace of mind that can only come with a reliable MVNO billing service.

Check If It Serves Both Prepaid and Postpaid Services

Reliable MVNO billing solutions are meant to take care of all your MVNO needs. That is why the ideal billing service is not focused on just one area of MVNO operations. Instead, it is designed to be a holistic solution for every segment of the service.

Keeping this in mind, you need to make sure that your MVNO service is supported by a billing solution that caters to prepaid connections just as well as postpaid customers.

This notion ensures that you don’t have to run around operating several billing solutions for different kinds of connections. A service that takes care of all your customers truly translates to a solution that you can rely upon.

At Telgoo, we provide a holistically designed MVNO billing service that doesn’t only help you run your operations with ease, but also assists you in growing them over time. With cloud connectivity, easy to use software, and multiple types of billing solutions, we can provide your MVNO with the reliability that you are looking for in your search.

Whether you want MVNO billing solutions for your up and coming service or need to use them for your existing network, don’t hesitate to reach out to us today. We will be glad to discuss your needs and help you benefit from personalized solutions right away.

Steps to Starting Your Own MVNO

Running an MVNO you have started is not a simple task. This does not mean you should stop pursuing this kind of business. All you need is to have steps that can ensure you do not fail before you begin. So what do you need to know?

Steps-to-Starting-Your-Own-MVNO.jpg
 

Running an MVNO you have started is not a simple task. This does not mean you should stop pursuing this kind of business. All you need is to have steps that can ensure you do not fail before you begin. So what do you need to know?

Starting Out

An MVNO, like any other business, is risky. Clients will expect you to provide several services that will not fail from day one. With this in mind, you need to know the exact needs of your prospective customers before you begin. Once you understand their needs there is a need of being nimble in your response to maintain the current clientele while winning new ones.

The only way to succeed in starting is ensuring you make meticulous preparations. In essence, you need to have the following three things:

  • A strategic and effective plan to allow you to reach your proposed target segment. This should include how to package and offer services to successfully get your message out there.

  • Access to technology that will enable your business to deliver the services your target clients require during the kick-off.

  • You also need to know how to quickly adapt your portfolio as demand for new services arises.

Crafting a Plan

Considering the specific dynamics of a market you are trying to reach is a complex task. Generally, there are two ways you can efficiently compete with your competitors.

The first step involves an intimate understanding of a particular set of clients. Access to detailed client information will help you better tailor services to suit their needs. For example, this can be bundling third-party digital services, tailored pricing and offering specific communication services to create an unparalleled service experience.

Secondly, you need to consider new services or a different way of offering your current services. As an MVNO that can identify pricing models, packaging solutions or services, you are on the right track to win clients from a wide range of various segments.

When you craft such a plan, you have made a crucial step to start your MVNO. You should not relax at this point. You need to make sure you learn from your clients to consistently improve your services.

Finding and Getting the Technology Required in Place

Once the plan has been crafted to perfection, the next step is ensuring you have access to technology that will efficiently work with the plan. The technology needed in this case includes those that are initially required and services you may require for you to grow as the market changes.

When you are selecting your technology platform, you need to make sure you will gain sufficient control and assistance over service configuration and creation. The telecom market can change at any time. It sometimes moves quickly, sometimes in a matter of hours. As an MVNO, you need to make sure you set up with a platform that will allow you to receive updates to your service packaging and portfolio as soon as they arise.

Bottom Line

At Telgoo5, we have the experience and professionalism required to help you start your own MVNO business. Our current clients regularly express their happiness in their decision to use our service to start their MVNO businesses. Contact us today so we can help you start an MVNO business that will not fail.

Every day more and more people are turning to mobile devices for daily tasks. These devices help people with many aspects of their daily lives using IoT and apps. An MVNO is a business that ensures it supplies clients with great speeds. If you want to start an MVNO business, there are several things you need to consider:

Get the Right MVNE

The only way your MVNO business can succeed is by ensuring you use a good network. The right partner will ensure you have the tools to manage subscribers, manage the services you offer and have a good platform for efficient reporting and financial flexibility. You should get an MVNE with a lot of experience as it will be integral to the success of your MVNO business.

Pay Attention to Technology

Research by various MVNOs shows that 49% of survey respondents have indicated they will invest in technology soon. Once you have planned your business, you will know the technology you need to use. This is when you will need to do some research on what services are available.

For instance, you will need an analytics tool irrespective of the size of your business. Take note there is no point in investing in a business that does not generate meaningful data. There are companies, such as Telgoo5, that have developed robust analytics solutions. You and your clients need data that is complete and accurate.

Use Your Users as a Base for Your Business

The majority of technology companies have a weakness in which they base their business on the company’s own needs and desires rather than those of their client. For your MVNO business to succeed, you must understand that the services your business provides must be geared towards your clients. Things to consider include but are not limited to, customer service, operational processes, value-add bundle, and helpful products.

Optimize Marketing Efforts

Every business needs a strategic marketing plan. Without marketing, your business will fail before it starts. For an MVNO, you need to plan marketing initiatives based on your value proposition and user persona. You should consider doing things that other MVNOs do not do. This way, you can challenge and beat your competition, while reaching your particular audience. High-quality marketing will always guarantee an ROI (Return on Investment).

Focus on Operational and Customer Excellence

Do some research on successful businesses, MVNOs or not. For instance, companies such as Apple and Amazon have ensured their customers expect a certain level of service. These clients have zero tolerance for operational hold-ups and glitches.

With this in mind, you should ensure your clients get the best speed and excellent service. If your MVNO does not provide this, customers will switch to one that does. Support features such as a dedicated call center is a of necessity to run an efficient MVNO.

Bottom Line

All the above are major factors you should consider when starting an MVNO. The demand for MVNOs is consistently on the rise and is expected to grow. Starting such a business is a great opportunity for success.

The business will be successful as long as the focus is kept on the user and you have solid planning. Contact us now so we can help you start an MVNO business that will challenge and surpass the rest in the market.

Best Practices to Building a Reliable MVNO Network

The massive infrastructural developments in the telecom sector have given way to many new business models. Voice over IP (VoIP) solutions, tracking services, and automated charging are just a few of the aspects that come to mind. But perhaps none of them are as impactful in their influence as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO).

The massive infrastructural developments in the telecom sector have given way to many new business models. Voice over IP (VoIP) solutions, tracking services, and automated charging are just a few of the aspects that come to mind. But perhaps none of them are as impactful in their influence as a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO).

Since an MVNO network brands itself as a new network while using the infrastructure of current telecom providers, it brings a lot of competition to the telecom sector. Racking up existing prices, providing new services, and establishing a new brand is all part of building a scalable MVNO service.

But as easy as it sounds in writing, it can be quite tricky when you are putting all of this into practice. That is why if you are currently in the process of developing your own MVNO platform, it is extremely beneficial to have assistance and guidance.

Understanding this need, we have put together the most crucial aspects of building a successful MVNO. By keeping these best practices in mind, you will be able to develop your own MVNO network with ease.

Keep Your Competitors in Mind

Market Research is vital in every business model. But it is perhaps the most relevant when it comes to a reselling business such as an MVNO service.

That is why the first step towards building an MVNO platform comes in the form of knowing your competitors. Researching factors such as their pricing, their subscription models, their brand, and their marketing strategies will help you get an idea of what your competitors are doing. At the same time, it will also let you know what they are not doing well.

This awareness will help you build a compelling brand that steers clear of being a mere copycat. On the contrary, you can shape your own MVNO Network to have a distinctive yet appealing image that speaks to your target audience.

Be Careful in Setting Your Prices

If knowing your competitors is the foundation of building your MVNO Service, then offering competitive pricing is the very first step.

As mentioned above, in a reselling business model, it is the pricing that matters the most in setting your services apart from others. If your pricing is a lot higher than your competitors, then it will not provide you with potential higher advantages. But if it’s too low, then it might reflect poorly on the quality of your services.

This is why you should ensure that your pricing is set with a conservative perspective in mind. If you are planning to broach the market with low pricing, ensure to justify it to your target audience and design a marketing campaign that clears any doubts in their mind. Doing so will help you attract more customers without giving them any reasons to question the effectiveness of your MVNO Platform.

Keep Data Delivery in Mind

In today’s day and age, mobile data and resulting internet access are just as important as voice service itself. After all, it is the data service that lets customers enjoy video calls, social media, web browsing, instant messaging, and media exchange. In other words, it is what puts the “smart” in the smartphone.

That’s why, if your MVNO Network offers competitive voice services but falters on data plans, then you might as well shelve it on day one.

It is essential to make sure that you are launching your MVNO Service with a focus on data subscription plans. Make them as affordable as possible without degrading the quality of services, and you will be able to attract a wide variety of customers who want to access the internet and its related services on the go.

As evident through these suggestions, they are some effortless yet some very valid points to implement. If followed, these crucial yet straightforward best practices will help you build an MVNO Platform that’s created with success in mind.

If you need further guidance on how to launch your MVNO Network successfully, please feel free to give us a call today. We at Telgoo5 will be happy to answer any questions you may have and help you build an MVNO that stands out of the plethora of other services out there.
