Abstract

A system for a visited mobile telecommunications network, for sending information relating to roaming use back to a home network of the roaming user, sends telco records in near real time over a direct, P2P route, over the internet, not via a central clearing house. By sending the information more quickly, fraud detection at the home network can be improved. As this decentralized arrangement involves lower costs to the visited network, it is more likely to be installed by operators in higher risk areas, so benefits of wider coverage ('critical mass') can be achieved. A central WebManager manages the P2P network and maintains a record of operators to verify the information sent between nodes of the P2P network, is from a recorded operator.
