D fault isn’t that of the network providers... if you know how it works you will know. In order to reduce international call rates, international calls are diverted to internet and back to local sims tru terminators. 4 Likes |

Call termination companies are the culprits. Companies like Anthrax offer their services to businessmen to terminate international calls with local nos. NCC should come to the aid of telecoms not sanction them. That are the major losers. Imagine routing international calls as if they are local and a businessman somewhere reaps the benefits. 2 Likes |

fixedhollies: God bless you for this. Many people ranting here don't know that if the calls were terminated directly it would cost more for people abroad to call us. Meaning less calls from abroad. NCC will have to and steal my phone for them to find out if I'm getting masked calls 2 Likes |

feldido:NCC charges all international outgoing n incoming calls high, local calls have different charge per call, d network operations have found a way to bypass this by displaying local numbers as incoming international calls, thereby paying it as local call. I hope I shed small light 4 Likes |

I'm curious to know really, what's the advantage of masking international calls for these telecos? There must be some financial advantage/gains or else they would not indulgence in it. Any clues people? Those familiar with the Industry can help clarify. Thanks |

Nigerians are probably the ones routing these calls using GSM Termination and may not be the telecom. GSM Termination is illegal and big business. |

airsaylongcon: I don't think so, I have been receiving international calls for many years now. I have not seen any reduction in call rates as a result of this masking rather I pay more now. As a matter of fact,i have asked my callers from US and none have seen any reduction too. As regards the topic, I just received an international call about 30 mins ago still same Nigerian number appeared so I called NNC on the above number. The person that received my call talk like this news never exists.infact she was actually sounding like she wants to defend the operators. As soon as I demanded to know her stand, she said it could be roaming. So I don't want to believe this news yet. 1 Like |

Re: NCC To Sanction Telecom Operators For ‘call Masking’ by matrixme(m): 1:54pm On Sep 07, 2018 |
idiotic NCC. the last time I called their useless call centre to report how Airtel duped me, the agent was literally mocking me over the phone. He later called a string of long useless numbers for me to write down to"track" the request. Up till tomorrow, nothing has happened. If you have better things to do with your time, don't call NCC Call centre. I repeat, DON'T CALL NCC CALL CENTRE!!!! |

feldido: Telecommunication calls are complex and involves different layers to make it work smoothly. International calls are transported over carrier trunks. To get from abroad to Nigeria it will go through Interconnection Carriers. There is Originating Carrier and Terminating Carrier. The carriers make money by tolling the calls in their switch and settle the billing with the originating carrier. Originating carrier are paid by the person that made the call. The call is charged for setup and talk time. International calls nowadays are cheap compared to years ago. When a call enters a Nigerian Toll switch the carrier for that switch will do a dip in the signal to obtain originating number and terminating number. This number can be handled or processed in a number of ways. It can be delivered as anonymous, it can be delivered with a name and number, it can be delivered as just name or just number and they can strip the originating number and forward it with a new but local number. If they do that, two things happen on the billing side. 1. The international call is billed 100% by their toll switch. 2. The receiver of the call in Nigeria is billed by the local number that delivered the call to their phone. This double billing and thats their gain on the call itself. They also gain by remitting less tax than the accounted calls demand. On regulatory side (NCC), government two things happen also. 1. Accounting is wrong 2. Forensic investigation to tail an offending caller or criminal events is affected. On the user end it is frustrating because like some of you said it erodes credibility and muddles up international relations. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Tokziby: I can relate with this one o!!! After a few of these call masking issues one of my wife's auntie thought I was pretending to be abroad and that I probably was hidden somewhere in one Naija village. She went as far as "doing" amebo of her highly classified secret investigative findings to my father in law |

VULCAN: The foreign caller is the one that gets the savings. That way, Nigerians in the diaspora don't get to spend an arm and a leg calling their loved ones in Nigeria. The federal government was trying to tax them via their calls 1 Like |
