The Power of Direct Carrier Billing

Direct Carrier Billing (DCB) or Direct Operator Billing (DOB) is a system that links transactions carried out with third parties with the users' telecom operator. The operator's billing system identifies the user's unique mobile number to notate transactions and bill in the subsequent billing cycle.
