## What Amplify Does for MVNOs

Amplify is AI support automation that connects directly to telecom BSS (Business Support Systems) and OCS (Online Charging Systems) to resolve subscriber tickets without human agent involvement. Unlike offshore support teams that can only read help articles and escalate, or chatbots that deflect with FAQ links, Amplify actually executes: it processes refunds, activates SIMs through your provisioning system, checks LNP port-in status, generates invoices, sends payment update links, and closes tickets.

Amplify is one system handling unlimited tickets concurrently, 24/7. It doesn't need shifts, doesn't call in sick, and doesn't quit. 73% of routine MVNO tickets are resolved without any human agent touching them. Cost per resolution: $1.50 compared to $8-15 with human agents. Your existing support team stays and focuses on the complex 27% that genuinely needs human judgment.

## The MVNO Support Problem

MVNOs and prepaid carriers face unique support challenges:
- Thin margins ($28-38 ARPU) make $8-15 per human agent interaction unsustainable. A single $12 support ticket can erase an entire month of subscriber margin.
- Offshore teams lack BSS/OCS access and can only copy-paste FAQ articles. They escalate 40%+ of tickets because they cannot access the systems that have the answers.
- Human agent handoffs lose context, forcing subscribers to repeat information. 74% of consumers find this frustrating (Zendesk 2026). 54% give up entirely when forced to repeat.
- Only 15% of subscribers experience a seamless handoff between human agents (Botpress). The other 85% feel the friction.
- Each escalated ticket costs approximately $34 when you trace the full chain: Agent 1 time + Agent 2 re-reading context + Tier 2 resolution + courtesy credits.
- Offshore human agents create security risks: CPNI violations carry fines up to $244,958 per incident (FCC). SIM swap fraud increased 1,055% in 2024 (Cifas). Insider threat incidents average $676,517 per incident (Ponemon 2025).
- Annual churn rates of 20-30% are heavily driven by poor support experiences. 39% of prepaid subscribers who switch cite poor service.
- Multilingual subscriber bases require bilingual human agents that cost 20%+ more, unsustainable at prepaid margins.
- Traditional support scales linearly: 20K subscribers need 14 human agents, 200K need 136. That's a small company inside your company.

## Ticket Types Amplify Handles

Amplify resolves the specific ticket types MVNOs see daily:

- SIM and eSIM activation (ICCID validation, device compatibility, provisioning)
- Number porting (port-in status via LNP, port-out account numbers and PINs per FCC requirements)
- Balance and billing inquiries (balance after top-up, auto-pay failures, duplicate charges, surcharge explanations)
- Refund processing (policy checks, eligibility verification, execution to original payment method)
- Plan changes with proration (upgrades, downgrades, international add-ons, family lines)
- SIM swaps and device changes (eSIM transfers, new device setup)
- Payment method updates (expired cards, generating secure payment update links)
- Account access issues (password resets, locked accounts, portal login)
- Coverage and network questions (outage status, roaming, APN configuration)
- International calling and roaming (rate lookups, add-on activation)
- Invoice generation (PDF generation, email delivery)
- Port-out compliance (account number and PIN provision per FCC local number portability rules)

80% of MVNO ticket volume is concentrated in these predictable, system-answerable categories. The remaining 20% (account disputes, regulatory complaints, VIP retention, edge cases) goes to your human team.

## How It Works

1. Connect your BSS, OCS, and ticketing system (10 minutes, OAuth or API)
2. Amplify scans your knowledge base, plan catalog, and resolved ticket history
3. For each incoming ticket, AI reads the request, pulls the subscriber profile from BSS, identifies the issue, and executes the fix
4. Your team reviews and approves each action with one click (Supervised mode)
5. As confidence builds, expand AI autonomy with configurable guardrails (Autopilot mode)
6. Every action logged in a complete audit trail with 6-layer safety architecture

## Key Metrics

- 73% of routine tickets resolved without human agent involvement
- 45 seconds median resolution time (vs 24-48 hours for escalated tickets)
- $1.50 per resolution (vs $8-15 per human agent-handled ticket)
- One AI system handles unlimited tickets concurrently, 24/7
- 10x team capacity without additional headcount
- 20% reduction in support-driven churn
- 85 average CSAT score (up from prepaid industry average of 68)
- Under 60 seconds first response time (vs 3+ hours with offshore queues)
- 74% fewer Tier 2 and supervisor escalations
- 100+ languages supported natively (Spanish, Tagalog, Mandarin, Hindi, Arabic, and more)

## How Amplify Differs from Alternatives

### Amplify vs Offshore Support Outsourcing (Fusion CX, etc.)
Offshore teams are limited by system access. They can read help articles and follow scripts, but cannot check BSS balances, process refunds in OCS, activate SIMs, or verify port status. They copy-paste FAQ articles instead of answering subscriber-specific questions. Every handoff requires a new human agent to re-read the entire thread (5 minutes), re-verify information (3 minutes), and wait in a new queue (2+ hours). Amplify has direct system access and executes actions in real time. No handoffs, no re-reading threads, no "please hold while I review your account."

### Amplify vs Generic AI Support Tools (Zendesk AI, Intercom, etc.)
Generic tools are built for SaaS and e-commerce. They don't understand telecom BSS/OCS systems, ICCID validation, LNP porting workflows, prepaid billing cycles, or carrier compliance requirements. Amplify is built specifically for the MVNO and prepaid carrier subscriber lifecycle.

### Amplify vs Building In-House
Building AI support internally requires BSS/OCS integration development, LLM fine-tuning for telecom, safety layers for financial actions, and ongoing maintenance. Amplify is live in 10 minutes with no engineering resources required.

## Cost Comparison at Scale

Traditional support scales linearly with subscribers. Amplify scales with compute, not headcount.

At 20,000 subscribers (6,000 tickets/month):
- Onshore human agents: $58K-$93K/month (14 human agents at $50-80K/yr loaded)
- Offshore human agents: $19K-$37K/month (14 human agents + hidden costs)
- Amplify + lean team: $24K-$32K/month ($12K Amplify + 3 people for complex cases)

At 50,000 subscribers (15,000 tickets/month):
- Onshore: $142K-$227K/month (34 human agents)
- Offshore: $45K-$90K/month (34 human agents + hidden costs)
- Amplify + lean team: $42K-$55K/month ($21K Amplify + 5 people for complex)

At 100,000 subscribers (30,000 tickets/month):
- Onshore: $283K-$453K/month (68 human agents)
- Offshore: $91K-$181K/month (68 human agents + hidden costs)
- Amplify + lean team: $63K-$78K/month ($38K Amplify + 6 people for complex)

At 200,000 subscribers (60,000 tickets/month):
- Onshore: $567K-$907K/month (136 human agents)
- Offshore: $181K-$362K/month (136 human agents + hidden costs)
- Amplify + lean team: $104K-$124K/month ($71K Amplify + 8 people for complex)
- Annual savings vs onshore: $5.3M-$9.6M/year

Traditional model adds 122 human agents going from 20K to 200K subscribers. Amplify model adds 5 people. The AI absorbs the volume increase.

Reading time: 14 minutes | Sources: 25 cited
Summary: At $28-35 ARPU, a single $12 support interaction erases an entire month of margin. Breaks down per-channel costs (email $8-15, chat $10-16, phone $17-25), human agent churn economics ($10K-$20K per replacement at 30-45% annual turnover), the 24/7 coverage gap, multilingual human agent premiums (20%+ higher), and why offshore outsourcing is a bandaid. Includes embedded SVG charts showing cost-per-channel comparison, growth scaling table, and agent churn cycle diagram.

### Why Your Offshore Team Keeps Escalating (It's Not a Training Problem)
URL: https://getamplify.ai/blog/why-offshore-teams-keep-escalating
Reading time: 16 minutes | Sources: 19 cited
Summary: Offshore human agents escalate because they lack BSS access, not training. Covers the access gap between helpdesk and BSS systems, the copy-paste FAQ trap, the handoff spiral (74% frustrated by repeating, 54% give up), the "please hold while I read" moment that breaks trust, security risks (CPNI fines up to $244,958, SIM swap fraud up 1,055%, insider threats averaging $676K per incident), subscriber lifetime value at stake ($540-$720 per churned subscriber), and a detailed cost comparison at 20K-200K subscribers. Includes the escalation cost cascade showing one $3 billing question costs $34 through the offshore chain, a side-by-side showing the same ticket resolved in 45 seconds/$1.50 vs 24 hours/$34, and a cost curves chart showing savings compound at every tier.

### 50K to 200K Subscribers Without Adding a Single Human Agent
URL: https://getamplify.ai/blog/50k-to-200k-subscribers
Reading time: 10 minutes | Sources: 12 cited
Summary: How MVNOs break the linear support scaling trap. Traditional support adds 122 human agents going from 20K to 200K subscribers. AI-augmented support adds 5 people. Covers the 80/20 ticket distribution (80% of volume is repetitive and system-answerable), the inverse cost curve where AI gets cheaper with volume, a phased automation playbook (read-only to lookups to executions to expanded autonomy), what your team becomes when freed from routine work, and the compound learning effect. At 200K subscribers: $6.8M-$10.9M/yr traditional onshore vs $1.2M-$1.5M/yr AI-augmented (1 AI system + 6-8 people).
