The Vanishing Act

Three signals legacy systems never capture

01
Ghost User Signal

High data use drops abruptly to zero

Heavy mobile data usage stops dead. The subscriber has found a secondary SIM or a consistent Wi-Fi alternative — intent to leave is already forming.

02
Failed Transaction

Top-up attempted, no retry within 10 minutes

A user initiates a recharge, payment fails, and they do not try again. Friction has become a decision point, and every passing minute reduces recovery probability.

03
Competitor Intelligence

Browsing rival networks on your own infrastructure

The subscriber is price-checking competitors or running speed tests — over your network. Active consideration has already begun.

The Bottom Line

$100B

Revenue lost each year to prepaid subscriber churn across global telecom operators.
