Mirrored Subscription Service (MSS) makes it possible for a mobile operator to offer prepay Service Subscriptions to in-bound roamers without the need for them to change their existing SIM cards. This service is beneficial to both business and private customers that travel outside their home network.

Today's customers are highly mobile but the high cost of roaming charges discourages their mobile phone usage when traveling outside their home network. Purchasing SIM cards for travel is time consuming and impractical. MSS offers the perfect solution by providing customers the means to enjoy the benefits of the visited network without roaming charges. And all they have to do when roaming in a MSS network is to accept an automatic invitation received via SMS to join the service.

Enrollment in the service is easy and hassle-free, and there is no need for the customer to call customer service to sign up.

Once potential subscribers is in a network that offers MSS they are sent a "Welcome" SMS telling them how to sign up for the service and receive their local number. With MSS, operators can provide roaming customers basic prepay services allowing them to make and receive calls and text messages. The MSS customer is always in control of what line is used, and are not limited to using only the provided local number. The customer may send and receive calls using her home number in addition to taking advantage of the temporary local prepay number to benefit from local tariffs.

In nearly saturated markets, the Mirrored Subscription Service solution gives operators another way to gain customers!
