LANCK Telecom is an international telecommunications carrier founded in 2001. The company provides voice termination, SMS and messaging services, fraud management, international roaming, and enterprise communication solutions to carriers and operators across more than 190 countries.[1] With over 1,500 partners worldwide and direct interconnections to networks in more than 165 countries, the company is recognized as an established wholesaler of international phone traffic.[2] Its points of presence span interconnect and data centers in Europe, North America, Africa, Asia, and Latin America.[3]
Services and infrastructure
LANCK Telecom's core business is international voice termination into fixed-line and mobile networks. The company delivers more than 4 billion minutes of voice traffic annually[4] and uses proprietary routing and monitoring systems to manage call quality across its global network.[5]
Alongside voice, the company provides messaging solutions, with around 3 billion SMS processed annually and direct interconnections to MNOs and Mobile Hubs.[1]
In a 2025 interview with GCCM Magazine, Alexey Yanson, Managing Director of LANCK Telecom, noted a decline in A2P SMS volumes, attributing it partly to rising international SMS costs since 2021, with many mobile operators increasing their rates. He stated that the company had expanded into omnichannel verification services, supporting Voice OTPs (one-time passwords), messaging applications, and RCS alongside SMS. Yanson also announced LANCK Platform, an omnichannel CPaaS platform designed to provide businesses with multiple communication channels.[6]
Fraud prevention
Telecom fraud management became part of LANCK Telecom's technology offering in 2017, when the company introduced a proprietary voice Fraud Management System (FMS). The system uses machine learning and real-time signaling analysis to detect threats, including Wangiri callback scams, CLI spoofing, robocalls, interconnect bypass, and artificial inflation of traffic (AIT and AGT).[7] According to Juniper Research, the FMS identifies more than 53 million fraud attacks per year, achieving a reported detection accuracy of 99.995% and protecting approximately $6 million in client revenue each month.[3]
In 2021, LANCK Telecom was named Gold Winner in the “Best Fraud Protection” category at the Cybersecurity Excellence Awards.[8] In 2023, the company expanded its activities into SMS fraud prevention, applying experience from its six previous years of voice fraud management.[3] LANCK Telecom has also contributed to industry discussions on SMS pumping fraud, with its expertise referenced in publications such as TechTarget and Total Telecom.[9][10]
The company also participates in industry discussions on telecom fraud and regulation. In February 2026, Igor Skutsenya, Senior Business Development Manager at LANCK Telecom, took part in the MEF Perspectives in Mobile podcast, where he discussed regulatory challenges around OTT communication channels, the ongoing shift of fraud activity from SMS to messaging apps, and enterprise responses through alternative communication channels.[11]
Industry memberships and recognition
LANCK Telecom is a member of several international industry bodies, including the GSMA, the Mobile Ecosystem Forum (MEF), i3forum, and the Communications Fraud Control Association (CFCA). The company joined i3forum in December 2019, becoming part of a group of carriers working to address transformation challenges across the wholesale carrier ecosystem.[12][13]
LANCK Telecom is a signatory to the GSMA Fraud and Security Group (FASG) and complies with the GLF Codes of Conduct to Prevent Fraud, including Voice Code of Conduct and the SMS Code of Conduct introduced in 2024. In 2025, the company received an ‘Excellent’ rating in the GLF compliance assessment.[14] In 2025, LANCK Telecom obtained ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for its information security management practices.[15]
