Abstract: A system for sending limited-content message texts to a debtor, where each message comprises a fixed format, comprising an agent's name, a callback number, and optional suggested times for the recipient to callback the agent. The limited content message texts are sent over a time period during the work schedule of the agent and the optionally suggested callback times may take into account the agent's schedule. Upon receiving a voice telephone callback from the recipient, a comparison is performed on the calling party number to ascertain if it matches a called party number of one of the sent limited-content message texts. If matched, then the call is routed to the agent identified in the limited-content message text. The agent is further presented with information indicating the voice telephone call is a callback in response to a previously sent limited-content message text.

Abstract: Disclosed are technologies for optimally utilizing 5G-NSA network resources via an Aggregate Maximum Bitrate (AMBR) feedback mechanism. A User Equipment (UE) is registered with a 5G-NSA network environment and a 5G AMBR is negotiated. A bearer-specific timer is triggered in response to detecting one or more data flows to the UE. Next, a Secondary Radio Access Technology (RAT) Data Usage Report is monitored for. In response to the bearer-specific timer expiring without a Secondary RAT Data Usage Report being received, it is determined that the UE is not currently being served by a 5G RAT. Subsequently, local rate limiting is performed to reduce the negotiated 5G AMBR to a limited AMBR having a lower bitrate than the negotiated 5G AMBR. The UE connection to the 5G-NSA network environment is then configured with the limited AMBR.

Abstract: The network communication activity of a dual-subscriber identification module (SIM) user device is monitored as the dual-SIM user device communicates with a default wireless carrier network using a default SIM and a first baseband processor of the user device. A first set of key performance indicators (KPIs) for the network communication activity on the default wireless carrier network is determined. A simulation of the network communication activity on an alternative wireless carrier network is then initiated using an alternative SIM and a second baseband processor of the dual-SIM user device. A second set of KPIs for the simulation of the network communication activity on the alternative wireless carrier network is determined. The first and second set of KPIs are then compared to determine one or more network performance features of the alternative wireless carrier network that are superior to the corresponding network performance features of the default wireless carrier network.

Abstract: An approach is provided in which an information handling system identifies registration-based messages sent from services over a computer network to a mobile device. The registration-based messages correspond to registering a first mobile number assigned to the mobile device to the plurality of services. The information handling system then combines registration information extracted from each of the registration-based messages into a set of registration results. Next, the information handling system identifies a set of transaction results corresponding to transactions between the first mobile number and at least one of the services, and generates an analytics report based on performing statistical analysis on the set of transaction results and the set of registration results. In turn, the information handling system provides the set of registration results and the analytics report to a user assigned to the mobile number.
