The PortaOne Advantage: A flexible MVNO billing platform with unlimited per-site license

An MVNO billing platform is a powerful software solution that enables mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) to manage many business aspects through a single portal. From SIM/eSIM inventory and product catalogs to subscriber databases that integrate with CRM, the MVNO billing platform keeps track of what matters.  A robust platform like PortaBilling supports real-time charging, payment collection,  multi-service bundles (voice, SMS, data), and partner settlements—all crucial for MVNOs to operate efficiently and scale profitably.

PortaOne offers a complete MVNO billing solution, PortaBilling, that provides all the necessary components for a quick start-up: cloud-based billing, real-time rating and charging, and API for seamless integration with mobile networks and CRM systems. These features reduce time-to-market, allowing MVNOs to focus on growing their subscriber base by developing unique offerings like app bundles, flexible data plans, or other specialized services for their niche.

Real-time billing ensures accurate charging and instant balance updates for prepaid and postpaid subscribers. It helps prevent revenue leakage, improves customer trust, and enables telecom monetization strategies such as instant data top-ups, promotional packages, or zero-rated services.

PortaBilling collects usage in real time–whether from modern cloud apps or legacy telecom gear–so that MVNOs can deliver accurate, up-to-the-minute billing. It supports industry standard integrations, like RADIUS and HTTP REST. Roaming via third party systems is also supported, as are legacy systems, with PortaBilling’s ability to parse CDRs in a variety of formats. Read more about the technical details here.

PortaBilling seamlessly integrates with your existing CRM or helpdesk systems using the PortaBilling API for custom integrations or PortaOne Workflows, a low-code/no-code iPaaS, for simplified connectivity without extensive development.
