DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates generally to the field of activation of subscription provided by service providers, and, more particularly, but not exclusively to a method and a server for facilitating real-time activation of a telecommunication and similar subscription based connection services.

BACKGROUND

Presently, a customer requiring a connection, including, but not limited to, mobile, data, DTH, Internet, Broadband etc. of a service provider visits the nearest retail store. The customer selects a connection and a tariff plan under postpaid or prepaid platform from one of the various service providers. The service providers may be telecommunication operator, DTH operator, or any other operator providing connection services. The connection selection and initiation involves a number of steps as follows.

The customer fills an application form providing all the necessary information. The application form is submitted along with a photograph, identification documents and address proof documents. The retailer then provides the documents to respective service provider for verification through courier pick-up mechanism. The retailer maintains a record of connection sold for future reference.

In case of prepaid mobile connection activation, the retailer keeps separate mobile phone of each service provider or operator for activation purpose. The customer is issued prepaid card for selected operator plan after collecting the documents i.e. Proof of Identity, Proof of Address, photograph and filled customer application form. The retailer sends message mentioning short activation code followed by mobile number and customer name to activation number of the selected service provider or operator for facilitating start of prepaid connection services. The documents submitted by customer to retailer along with filled application form are picked up by courier agency of respective service provider or operator credit verification team. The credit verification team enters the details of application forms and documents and performs verification of the documents. If the verification process of the customer is negative, the activation request is denied by the operator. In the alternative, the service provider activates customer prepaid services in case of positive verification. The service provider sends text message on alternate number of the customer mentioned on the application form informing about activation of new services and call verification to be completed. The customer finally calls up the selected service provider or network once the network is available on his mobile phone to complete the tele-verification process involving few checks.

Each operator has voice and data tariff plans with various recharge denominations. For the first prepaid recharge, the customer opts for one of the recharge option under prepaid with the retailer. The retailer takes the request from customer and completes recharge either through recharge wallet of aggregator or through specific operator mobile phone.

In case of postpaid activation, the customer opts for one of the postpaid plan option having fixed monthly rental value. The customer is issued postpaid card by retailer for respective operator plan selected by him after collecting the documents i.e. Proof of Identity, Proof of Address, photograph and filled customer application form. The documents submitted by customer to retailer along with filled application form are handed over to respective service provider or operator credit verification team. The verification team conducts physical address verification to confirm billing address. If the verification process of the customer is negative, the postpaid connection request is denied by the service provider, and the proposed purchase of plan is rejected. The service provider activates customer postpaid services in case of positive verification. The service provider sends text message on alternate number of the customer mentioned on the application form informing about activation of new services and call verification to be completed. The customer is billed each month as per tariff applicable on the plans and usage during the month.

The entire activation process involves multiple interfaces and manual documentation to complete the activation process. Also, the customer is required to wait for 2 or 3 days to get the connection activated. Hence, there is a need to provide an easy and effective method and a system for facilitating activation, recharge and documentation process.
