Qatar Telecom has launched cash-based bill payment machines during Doha Asian Games held in December 2006. This allows QTEL customers to view their outstanding bill and pay or top-up online by depositing cash. The cash payment machines are relying on the strength and reliability of TPS switching technology, Phoenix, while TPS InSight is being used for effective and real time monitoring of the machines.
The successful implementation of cash-only solution has laid the foundation for second phase of the solution to accept payments through EMV-based ATM and Credit Cards in Qatar.
Phoenix has been well-accepted in the financial marketplace and makes its way successfully in the fast growing and service-oriented telecom sector with implementation at Qatar Telecom.
