Before January of 2002, wireless service providers
had relied on complex minute-based provider plans. MetroPCS aimed to
change that, offering subscribers unlimited minutes at a flat fee, without
long-term contracts or credit checks.
Challenges
Providing a revolutionary solution necessitated
a revolutionary approach. MetroPCS needed an innovative, scalable billing
service that would be adaptive to the growing and often unexpected complexities
of an industry-changing venture.
“VeriSign has
been instrumental in helping MetroPCS achieve the success we've achieved
so far, and we're looking forward to working with VeriSign as we expand.”
Braxton Carter, VP of Corporate
Operations,

Solution
MetroPCS turned to VeriSign for a comprehensive
selection of billing services. VeriSign designed an entire billing infrastructure,
integrating point-of-sale functionality and a variety of billing systems.
Results
In the first 20 months MetroPCS
gained 900,000 customers.
The billing service scaled flawlessly
to meet this spike in demand. MetroPCS then expanded their partnership
with VeriSign to include a selection of powerful database services.
