JAKARTA, Indonesia, April 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Dialog Axiata PLC, Sri Lanka’s #1 connectivity provider, and Telin, the international arm of Telkom Indonesia, have signed a new Master Service Agreement (MSA) whereby Telin will exclusively provide Managed Services for international A2P SMS traffic and international voice termination traffic to Dialog.
This agreement aims to monetize international traffic while extending unparalleled convenience, enhanced security, global coverage and consistent service quality to Dialog customers. The signing symbolized the commitment of both organizations to enhance telecommunication services around the world.
The rise of spam, fraud, and unsolicited SMS messages has increasingly become a pressing concern for a multitude of operators in the telecommunications industry.

They understand the challenges in the market and have been very reasonable in the negotiations of this agreement. We hope that other MNO’s can follow their lead so that trust is restored in the A2P and Voice businesses around the world", stated Budi Satria Dharma Purba, CEO Telin.
