Roamers today are not making use of VAS services much for various reasons. But this doesn't mean that there is no future for VAS in roaming market. Vendors need to work on business problems in roaming and need to come up with services to address those issues. For example a VAS service to save on outgoing call costs for roamers if they prefix a short code along with the called party number will generate revenues for the deployed operator

thanks Abdul for bringing this part in notice...I was wondering why the operators are not providing VAS in roaming...I don't find any technical complexities from the Nw or IN side, infact this will bring a good revenue to these opearators.

I think might be no operator has given a thought on this

Thanks Shyamal. However, it is not that easy in practical life. My point of view:

If the person is visiting too many locations, carrying two handsets one for calls on original number and the other for local roaming number wouldn't be ok with him. Few people just prefer to have single instrument with SIM swap 

 

Again,if the subscriber does a SIM swap, calls on previous number are lost or he has to pay for call forwarding

When he comes back from roaming again,either he will lose the calls on that local number,which may be very important in case of business subscribers. Call forwarding again will cost him more

 

So,if there is a simple VAS service in the roaming location he can save a lot in all aspects. Just give a second thought...

Indeed Roamers today need VAS services badly so that they can save on outgoing calls. Too much of travelling keeps them most time out of the city. In this case, they suffer a lot because of roaming problems which takes away most of their money. Thus, they need VAS services to save costs on calls

Why should somebody spend on unnecessary costs just because of the fear of roaming? Rather, he can keep local sim cards of all those areas where he frequently goes. This will not only save his expenditure on VAS but also wherever he goes, he will have to pay local call rates for all the call he makes.
