Debit Cards

Traditionally, mobile bills are paid either by cash, or credit/debit cards by standing in the queues at the operator’s showroom. Else it’s paid using some recharge coupons. This paper is a part of industrial project for users helping them to participate in value added services offered by mobile operators. Using their RFID tags, users can carry out transactions such as bill payments (postpaid), content downloads, recharge their prepaid connections, etc.., Mobile users can perform cash-less transactions. All this with easy-to-use, simple but intuitive touch of their handset to ‘target icons’. This solution with anytime, anywhere electronic talk time charging and bill payment in self service mode offers Mobile Network Operators a quantum leap in operational efficiency of their revenue assurance systems. It simplifies and speeds up day-to-day mobile transactions by their customers.

Mobile Network Operators

The use of mobile telecommunications devices for commercial transactions, coined mobile (m-) commerce, has been an emerging trend since the late 1990s. As the phenomenal growth of the Internet and mobile devices has continued unabated, the inevitable convergence of these two streams of technologies has occurred, promising a plethora of mobile data services to the handset user. Although these services have been considerably hyped in the media, and adoption has been somewhat patchy and limited, it does signal the emergence of a range of innovative value added services. With further developments in technology and markets, further services will appear, bringing new revenue streams. One potential area of m-commerce development is in location-based services (LBS). LBS are heralded as the next major class of value added services that mobile network operators can offer their customers. Using a range of network- and handset-based positioning techniques, operators will be able to offer entirely new services and improvements on current ones. Popular examples cited include emergency caller location, people or asset tracking, navigation, location-based information, or geographically sensitive billing. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the technologies, applications and strategic issues associated with the commercialisation of LBS. The chapter concludes with some predictions on the role of LBS in m-commerce.

Over the years the need for mobile broadband had seen a great increment due to the demand of internet mobile users. In this research work, data size for Internet operation on UMTS mobile network operators on the University of Ilorin Campus was assessed. The study assessed three UMTS network operators using an Infinix T627 android smart phone and RantCell App. to measure the download and upload at the selected points on the University of Ilorin Campus. It was observed that the number of active subscribers with their relative position in a cell have a great effect on the performance of the networks and therefore, the authors recommend the need for the operators to improve their data sizes so as to enhance users’ satisfaction. Keywords: GSM, CDMA, ISP, PS, UMTS.
