Bypass Fraud
Detect SIM Box rapidly. Protect termination revenue.
Move from reactive detection to proactive, fast, and accurate fraud prevention.
Subex’s AI-powered Bypass Fraud Management solution delivers exceptional speed and precision in identifying SIM Box activity. By combining machine learning models, intelligent rule frameworks, and link analysis, we help operators safeguard international termination revenues and ensure network integrity.
Legacy Rules Miss Modern Fraud
SIM box / interconnect bypass (voice) has been estimated at $1.92B in annual losses. (Source: CFCA Global Fraud Loss Survey 2025).
SIM Box fraud has evolved significantly, with fraudsters now mimicking legitimate subscriber behaviour, using rotating SIMs, and distributing traffic across locations to evade traditional rule-based systems. Legacy approaches dependent solely on fixed thresholds and past patterns fail to detect newer, more sophisticated fraud operations.
This challenge results in:
- Consistent revenue leakage from bypassed international traffic
- Inability to detect complex, distributed, and fast-changing SIM Box operations
- Extended fraud run-times caused by delayed detection and manual intervention
- Higher operational effort due to continuous rule maintenance
Operators require a detection framework that is adaptable, fast, and comprehensive.
