Well, beside reusing an MVNO/MVNE agreement in place, there's no real turn-key solution. Find a MNO that has a flexible MVNO agreement, that lets you tap to their SS7 network (ah! maybe a desperate MNO, easier said than done) and buy the HLR solutions from BlueSlice. Obviously you need an MNO that has tons of roaming agreements with most countries and networks. WIND/JT was one, wonder how reliable they are now, and how their pricing is (something tells me they introduced termination fees, increased their SMS fees also, etc).

Vodafone has a nice solution, they forward you the CDRs/SDRs (billing records) frequently instead of taping on the SS7 network directly. This could be a nice alternative. But you still need your own billing platform.

My advise, if you have the funds, stick to a world class MNO, offer less features to get you started and be cheap, rather than use 3rd world MNOs that just want your cash and offer shit service. With a proper to open quickly the CDRs, you can prevent fraud and offer great service. Once cash flow starts, you could add more features from the portal or in wireless services.

My 2 cents.

P.S: United Mobile did buy the BlueSlice ngHLR platform, maybe it's for sale now!
