What is Amber?
Amber enables Text services on all GSM compatible handsets. Subscribers have access to value-added services such as their prepaid balance, while dealers can sell airtime in the shortest possible time. Amber enables 3rd parties to deploy innovative mobile applications such as mobile banking and customer care through standard compliant interfaces.
How it works
Amber connects directly to the core network. It receives calls from subscribers dialling services such as *150#. It processes the call and displays text messages or a menu directly on the mobile phone. Amber works on all handsets and includes the ability to bill prepaid and post-paid customers. It is possible to create new services through a comprehensive set of business rules. Amber is a highly reliable platform – it is made to run 24/7.
Emerald Integration
Amber works with Emerald by default to:
- Redeem vouchers – subscribers dial *150#, enter a voucher PIN and immediately receive their airtime. No need to send SMS or call the IVR – with Amber you have better response times, and more airtime sold.
- Get your Prepaid balance – subscribers dial *150# and receive their balance advice to their handsets immediately.
- Share airtime – subscribers can enter a mobile phone number, an amount and a PIN to transfer airtime directly from one IN account to another. Ensuring better sales and higher turnover.
