Nokia bringing Prepaid Tracker to Mobile Phones

World’s number 1 mobile company Nokia has launched phones featuring Prepaid Tracker technology. They claim that it is the world’s first end-to-end fully network-based solution to provide this functionality. The recently launched Nokia 1110 and Nokia 1600 feature this technology and they are aimed at the developing nations of the world especially African countries.

The company would also be providing the mobile operators around the world the software to implement this technology. Prepaid Tracker allows the customer to keep track of their balance and call expenses. After every call or usage of the mobile phone, the information related to subscribers’ account balance is displayed on the mobile phone.

This would be convenient for the users, as they will not have to rely on their mobile phone company call centers to get information about their pending balance in their prepaid account. More than half of all the mobile users are estimated to be using prepaid mobile accounts.

Sanjay Bhasin, Nokia’s director of New Growth Markets spoke to the media about this new development: “The solution can improve the user experience of many of these prepaid subscribers by allowing them to see exactly how much their calls cost, which reduces the fear of unexpectedly running out of credit and even encourages subscribers to share their phones with friends with the assurance that they can be correctly reimbursed for calls.”

He added: “The time is ripe for a solution like Nokia Prepaid Tracker, which brings clear benefits to both subscribers and operators.”
