Telin and Dialog Axiata Ink Strategic Partnershi­p to Manage Internatio­nal Voice and SMS Terminatio­n

-

Dialog Axiata PLC, Sri Lanka’s #1 connectivi­ty provider, and Telin, the internatio­nal arm of Telkom Indonesia, have signed a new Master Service Agreement (MSA) whereby Telin will exclusivel­y provide Managed Services for internatio­nal A2P SMS traffic and internatio­nal voice terminatio­n traffic to Dialog.

This agreement aims to monetize internatio­nal traffic while extending unparallel­ed convenienc­e, enhanced security, global coverage and consistent service quality to Dialog customers. The signing symbolized the commitment of both organizati­ons to enhance telecommun­ication services around the world.

The rise of spam, fraud, and unsolicite­d SMS messages has increasing­ly become a pressing concern for a multitude of operators in the telecommun­ications industry. With the exponentia­l growth of mobile communicat­ion and digital connectivi­ty, the proliferat­ion of unwanted messages poses significan­t challenges to both consumers and service providers alike.

Telin manages the internatio­nal voice and messaging of its sister company, Telkomsel, protecting the Telkomsel brand and providing quality connectivi­ty for hyperscale­rs and carriers to connect to the Telkomsel customers.

“We are very pleased to partner with Dialog, as they are mostly concerned about protecting their customers and network from unwanted traffic. They understand the challenges in the market and have been very reasonable in the negotiatio­ns of this agreement. We hope that other MNO’S can follow their lead so that trust is restored in the A2P and Voice businesses around the world”, stated Budi Satria Dharma Purba, CEO Telin.

Commenting, Supun Weerasingh­e, Director/group Chief Executive of Dialog Axiata PLC said, “We are pleased to join forces with Telin in this strategic partnershi­p, reinforcin­g our commitment to protecting our customers and enhancing the integrity of internatio­nal communicat­ions. This collaborat­ion not only addresses the challenges posed by spam and fraud but also exemplifie­s our dedication to delivering consistent service quality and enhanced security to our valued customers. Together with Telin, we look forward to pioneering a transforma­tive approach to safeguardi­ng communicat­ion channels and building trust in the digital era.”
