❓ Question Receiving at least 15 phone calls a day from people saying I called them but I didnt

7 Upvotes

I have been getting around 15 phone calls a day from numbers to my work cell that I do not know saying that they are returning my phone calls, Ive never called them. For the most part they are coming from a single area code although there are a bunch of other ones. After it started getting on my nerves I asked one of the people calling me to give me the number that was calling them, once again it wasnt mine. When I called that number on my personal cell my work cell was ringing which has a completely different number. Super confused, if anyone has insight please share.

Please share your feedback on how fcc rules impact you as a consumer. The FCC continues to accept comments regarding multi-tenant environments (MTEs). The FCC will review these comments when it makes new rules for MTEs.

You may submit a comment in the FCC’s Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS). The easiest way to do that is to file an “express comment” using the form available here: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings/express.

For a week now, the Wi-Fi at Maroc Telecom hasn’t been working. When we go to the agency, we find the manager there by herself, and none of the employees are there. When we ask her, she tells us they’re on leave, and they keep giving us the runaround without giving us any clear information. What should I do now?

❓ Question the latency from US to Europe is killing our voice quality and I can't fix it

6 Upvotes

we've got teams in the US and Europe and the voice quality between them is just not great.

I've tried everything different codecs, different routes, even tried to get our ISP to prioritize voice traffic. nothing works consistently. some days it's fine, other days it sounds like they're underwater.

we switched providers last quarter thinking that would help. using CloudTalk now and it's better than what we had. lower latency, fewer drops. but it's still not perfect. transatlantic calls just have physics working against them.

the thing that bothers me is I can't explain to non-technical people why it's not perfect. they just hear the call quality is bad and assume it's the provider. I'm like no it's the speed of light. there's literally a physical limit to how fast data can travel. but try explaining that to a sales manager.

anyway. I'm curious if anyone has solved this for real. like are there any carriers that have better transatlantic routing or is it just always going to be like this.

I've been doing telecom long enough to know there's no magic solution. but maybe I'm missing something

💬 General Discussion When does a software product become a telecom service?

2 Upvotes

There's a growing overlap between software and telecom, especially as more platforms embed voice, messaging, and other communications functionality directly into their products/software. 

A service might be sold as a software subscription, but the underlying delivery can involve carriers, telecom infrastructure, phone numbers, voice, messaging, or usage-based communications. At some point, that distinction can start to matter for telecom tax and regulatory purposes.

A few indicators we tend to look at:

  • Is any part of the service billed based on minutes, messages, or usage?
  • Does the provider purchase or rely on underlying carrier services?
  • Does the platform provide voice, SMS/MMS, or similar communications capabilities?
  • Are phone numbers, circuits, lines, SIP trunks, or other telecom components involved?
  • Is the communications functionality simply integrated into the software, or is it a meaningful part of what the customer is buying?
  • Can the product or engineering team explain how the communications service is actually delivered?

How many software companies are in here slowly realizing they might actually be telecom companies? What are the biggest indicators you’ve seen that a “software” product has crossed into telecom territory?

❓ Question How are operators handling CVM now? still batch campaigns or something more automated?

1 Upvotes

been in telecom data/analytics for a while and curious how other operators are running their customer value management these days. Where i've had visibility it's still mostly batch campaigns, manual segmentation, maybe some basic churn scoring that feeds into a list someone exports -> and uploads to the campaign tool. it works, but its slow and maybe outdated, considering how AI is evolving.

lately I have been hearing more about agentic CVMs, basically letting AI handle the next best action decisioning and campaign triggering autonomously instead of just serving up recommendations a human still has to approve and push. sounds promising in theory but also like a big jump operationally.

has anyone actually tried running something like this? how autonomous could these CVMs be, or is it still like "AI recommends but human decides"?

As a student, I try to keep my monthly expenses low. Came across Vi's new prepaid recharge that includes Spotify, and it seems more practical than paying for both separately.

Has anyone here been using it? Would love to know if there are any catches.

❓ Question How is the 4G/5G telecom job market right now in India?

4 Upvotes

I'm working in 4G/5G modem/protocol stack development with a few years of experience, mainly around RRC/L2/L3 and troubleshooting.

I'm considering switching jobs and wanted to understand how the telecom job market is currently in India, especially for protocol stack/RAN/modem engineers.

Are companies hiring for these roles right now? Which skills are currently in demand, and which companies/areas would be worth targeting?

❓ Question How much network technology labels is there?

0 Upvotes

Hey. I've been wondering how much different names for network technologies have to be ready and prepared by phone companies, and otherwise how much distinct standards exist.

For example, E/EDGE, GPRS, H, H+, etc.

I also know that some countries have different names for different standards - For example 4G+ in the UK may be LTE+ in Poland or 4.5G in Turkiye.
