AI Contact Center Built for Telecom Operators and MVNOs
Handle SIM activations, bill disputes, and churn prevention — without scaling your headcount.
Telecom contact centers face brutal volume spikes, complex BSS integrations, and customers who expect instant answers at 2 AM. Lobbi's AI agent handles the full tier-1 workload — activations, usage queries, plan changes, payment issues — while escalating edge cases to your human agents with complete context already in hand.
Customer Service Challenges in Telecom
Telecom operators deal with some of the highest inbound contact volumes of any industry, driven by predictable but difficult-to-automate problems.
Volume Spikes During Outages
A regional outage can trigger 50x normal inbound volume in minutes. Traditional contact centers crumble — agents queue backlogs for hours while customers churn in real time.
BSS/OSS Integration Complexity
Agents spend half their time tab-switching between CRM, billing, provisioning, and network management systems. Customers repeat themselves. Errors happen. AHT balloons.
Bill Shock and Dispute Volume
International roaming charges, unexpected data overages, and unclear invoice line items generate massive dispute volumes. Each case requires account lookup, calculation verification, and policy application — exactly what AI does well.
Churn at the Moment of Cancellation
By the time a customer calls to cancel, most telcos have already lost them. Reactive retention scripts feel scripted. You need predictive outreach before the decision is made.
How Lobbi Transforms Telecom Customer Service
Lobbi integrates directly with your BSS stack and Twilio infrastructure, giving your AI agent real-time access to account data, provisioning APIs, and payment systems.
Unlimited Concurrent Capacity
Lobbi's AI handles any inbound volume simultaneously. Network outages, promotion launches, bill cycle peaks — the AI scales instantly with no queue, no wait time, no extra cost.
Live BSS/OSS Tool Calls
The AI queries your billing, provisioning, and network systems mid-conversation. Customers get real answers — current balance, data usage, activation status — without being put on hold.
Proactive Outbound Retention
Lobbi's outbound AI identifies at-risk subscribers before they call to cancel. Triggered by usage patterns or contract end dates, the AI reaches out with a tailored retention offer on the right channel. Conversation-level sentiment analysis tracks customer satisfaction trends across your subscriber base, giving your CX and product teams early visibility into billing friction, network complaint patterns, and service quality issues.
AI Guardrails for Regulated Offers
Telecom is heavily regulated. Lobbi's guardrail layer ensures the AI never makes unauthorized commitments, credits, or contract changes — keeping you compliant with BEREC and local telecom authorities.
Warm Handoff to Twilio Flex
When the AI needs human backup, it routes to the right Twilio Flex agent queue with a full conversation summary, account context, and suggested next action — zero repeat for the customer.
Outage Status Broadcasting
When a network incident occurs, Lobbi auto-broadcasts status updates via SMS and WhatsApp to affected subscribers — eliminating the inbound call storm before it starts.

During a service incident, the AI automatically identifies affected subscribers, sends proactive status updates, and handles inbound "is there an outage?" calls without involving human agents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Lobbi handle SIM activation and porting queries automatically?
Yes. Lobbi's AI agent integrates with your BSS/OSS systems via API to handle SIM activations, eSIM provisioning status, and number porting updates end-to-end — without a human agent. Complex cases are escalated instantly with full context.
How does Lobbi help reduce churn in telecom?
Lobbi identifies churn signals in real time — high data usage with no upgrade, repeated bill complaints, prolonged silence — and triggers proactive outbound AI calls or messages with tailored retention offers before the customer decides to leave.
Does Lobbi support WhatsApp for MVNO customer service?
Yes. Lobbi supports WhatsApp, SMS, voice, webchat, and email in a single unified platform. MVNOs can serve digital-native customers on their preferred channel while routing complex cases to human agents in Twilio Flex.
How does Lobbi handle peak load during network outages?
The AI handles unlimited concurrent contacts, so a network outage that triggers 10,000 simultaneous inbound calls will not overwhelm your contact center. Lobbi broadcasts proactive status updates via outbound AI, deflecting a large portion of inbound volume before it hits the queue.
Can Lobbi integrate with our BSS stack — Comarch, Amdocs, or custom systems?
Yes. Lobbi connects to any BSS/OSS via REST API. Pre-built integrations exist for common telecom systems, and the tool-calling framework lets the AI query account balances, usage, plan details, and provisioning status in real time during a conversation.
