Find Special offers using 121 plans API

We have recently added the roffer API which gives the special plans for a mobile number. Initially, this was only available to the end customer as a special menu. Most operators were supporting the roffer check with the special dial, which is mostly, *121#. But since more and more customers are moving online, with the introduction of cheaper data pack. This switch made the mode of recharge from offline to online.

Also, with the entry of players like Google Pay and exciting offers, people tend to recharge online. However, most recharge providers support listing the common offers using recharge plan API. But this was lacking the special plans which available only using the custom number.

Since this was a long requirement of our big and small players, we actually thought of implementing this API. Our roffer check api gives the custom offers available to the particular mobile number. We have support for all the major providers using the API. The API provides a JSON response, which helps the developer to integrate the API. SDKs are available in multiple languages to fast forward your development process.

The API accepts a mobile number and the operator as input. Then based on the phone number, special offers are listed for the particular number. This is in a simple list and can be parsed easily. Now, this helps the end customer to stay without leaving your website for a smoother UI flow. This enables faster recharges and happy customer.

We have a similar service for DTH plans as well. Once the API has been integrated, the data will be flown through the API and you don’t need to do any kind of updates from your end. Offer can be easily checked by the customers to opt for any special plan available only for their mobile number.

The API is available in the product section of our website.

New MNP porting rules will be delayed – TRAI

arun — Fri, 08 Nov 2019 06:38:53 +0000

The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has confirmed that the new Mobile Number portability rules which were planned to go live from Nov 11, 2019, will be delayed. The supposed new rules would bring the porting process to a few days. To be precise, the plan was to cut down the current porting delay of 7 days to 2 days.

Earlier, the authority has informed that the subscribers who wish to port their number won’t be receiving any porting code. The planned was a no service period during this day and a complete transformation. However, the body has announced that there will be a delay for the time being. It is not clear when is the new planned schedule.

So this means that the user can request the normal porting code as earlier during this period. Once the changes have been implemented, it would be very faster for a customer to change the current provider.

The change in the operator can be easily detected using the Mobile Operator Check API. This gives the latest information about the operator and circle even for a ported number. This will give information about the current provider circle status for the mobile number. Along with this API, roffer API helps the customer to choose the latest best offer plan for the user. This can be used to find special offers for the customer.

Currently, in an official communication, TRAI has announced that “The porting of mobile numbers will, therefore, continue in accordance with the existing MNP process and will not be affected during 4th to 10th November 2019”. It’s been due to a delay in the telecom operator’s side for the implementation.

At this point, it is not clear that when the above new MNP rules will be implemented, but for the time being, all the porting requests will be handled according to the existing guidelines.
