Did you know that telephony fraud is now bigger than credit card fraud worldwide and is rising, so with this in mind the Network Communications Group offer all of our customers the greatest level of protection in order to avoid these potential problems.

  • We will automatically cut off any phone number with usage of £500
    (if your phone number(s) spends more than £500 in 24 hours on traffic which is not UK geographic or UK mobile, it will automatically be disconnected – don’t worry connecting back is easily done!)
  • Guarantee the charge limit on any breaches
    (if the 24 hour threshold is breached, you will not be liable for usage above £500)
  • Automated notification of any disconnection
    (in the event of any of your numbers being disconnected, we will send you an email to notify you that a block has been applied. We can remove the block if required).

Telecommunications will typically be the fourth largest expense on your profit and loss sheet. What’s more, telecoms fraud is booming; according to the Forum for International Irregular Network Access (FINNA), organised crime is making £40 billion a year from telecoms fraud.

Exposure to breaches of security is growing throughout the telecoms industry and here we’ll detail some of the threats customers are currently facing with specific reference to telephone toll fraud issues, followed with some solutions we can offer.
