Hamraah-e Avval losses due integrated billing system absence

resulting from lack of an integrated billing system.
The source, who did not wish to be named, said the company’s present billing system, which has been purchased from Eriksson, had been designed for 5m subscribers but is being used for 25m.
He refereed to recurrent errors appearing on mobile phone bills by saying it was due to an out-of-date billing system which in no way fulfills current requirements.
MTC in September 2006 signed a contract worth 1,110b Rial with IsIran, a SaIran subsidiary, but two years into the contract the project has not progressed at all.
SaIran, a major government company, also won 1st Operator’s GPRS tender last September to link mobile phone to the internet.
