Abstract: ANNOUNCED ROAMING LOCATION (ARoL) SERVICE is a telecom service that permits a better management of received calls when travelling abroad. The ARoL service main idea is to inform a caller—calling an ARoL subscriber—where he is roaming and the local time there. This service is proposed with two levels: Basic ARoL Level—where the caller is simply informed about the country where the called ARoL subscriber is roaming and the local time there. Advanced ARoL Level—where the caller is further offered the option of assuming roaming charges. By offering this service, a Mobile Operator aims further enhancements of its customers' retention and loyalty, and creation of a new revenue stream.
