Nokia Siemens Wins Indonesian Billing Contract

Indonesia's Telkomsel is extending the agreement with Nokia Siemens Networks on convergent online charging. Nokia Siemens Networks provides Telkomsel with its convergent charging solution, charge@once premium, supporting voice and data services. The contract enables Telkomsel to extend its charging capacity of approximately 38 million subscribers with additional 10.5 million subscribers.

The Mobile World statistics note that Telkomsel is Indonesia's largest mobile operator, with a market share a shade short of 56%. The company ended the first half of this year with just under 43 million customers, although 38 million are on PrePay GSM - which also matches the capacity increase from this new contract.

"We value our customers and want to give them the freedom to choose the kind of services and plans that suit their individual needs. Nokia Siemens Networks charging solution enables even greater customer centricity and provides us a platform to achieve sustained growth and new revenue streams," said Arman Hazairin, VP Information Technology, Telkomsel. "We are operating in a competitive market and thanks to this solution, we will be able to extend and differentiate our offering."

Under the agreement, Nokia Siemens Networks provides Telkomsel also with implementation services, project management of the installation, commissioning, telco integration, supervision and acceptance activities in the project.
