Bluecomm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BlueComm, also known as Blue Communications Australia Pty Ltd, was a pioneer of voip within the Asia pacific region. BlueComm's first services offerings were for the retail market offering huge savings to consumers within the Asia pacific region.
With the use of gsm gateways bluecomm moved into the wholesale voice termination market offering low termination rates to telephone companies worldwide. Bluecomm had provided a minor percentage of wholesale voice or call termination inbound to Australian mobiles.
The demise of bluecomm.
Due to the excessive use of gsm gateways for call termination bluecomm was shut down by carriers in Australia.
Warning.
To others using a gsm gateway for commercial use, be very careful. The required equipment used to set up a commercial gsm gateway includes switches, routers, servers and billing systems. These can be very costly and nowadays Mobile carriers in most countries do not allow the reselling of their services without written consent. Carriers now have the ability to search for "uncommon" call patterns, such as only outbound calls. Once a sim card is flagged as a "uncommon" or "unhuman" like usage the carriers will make efforts to contact the user, when no contact is made then the carrier will most likely disable calling from this sim.
