What it resolves

Answers From the Account and the Network, Not a Ticket Number

Connected to billing, provisioning and your incident tools, the AI agent settles the subscriber’s request in the same conversation.

A subscriber asks whether the internet is down in 94110; an outage zone pulses on the area map, the PagerDuty incident INC-2231 for a fiber cut shows a 6:30 PM fix, 38 conversations are linked to it, and the AI agent replies with the cause and time and sets a text alert through SMS via Twilio

Outage and service status

Recognizes an area outage from the subscriber’s postcode, answers with the cause and the fix time from the open incident, links every similar conversation to it and texts the subscriber when service is back.

  • PagerDuty
  • SMS via Twilio
  • Network status via API action
Built with PagerDuty integration
A subscriber asks why the bill is $142.50; the bill lines fill in, calls to Mexico at $38.40 are highlighted, and the AI agent splits the bill into two $71.25 payments scheduled in Stripe

Bill explanations and payment plans

Reads the bill line by line, names the charge behind a higher total and splits the balance into payments.

  • Billing system via API action
  • Stripe
Built with AI actions and MCP
A subscriber who runs out of data asks for a better plan; the selection slides from Essential 15 GB to Unlimited Plus, the change starts today with $11.50 prorated, and the billing system confirms it

Plan changes and add-ons

Compares the current plan with the subscriber’s usage, switches it and shows the prorated charge.

  • BSS via MCP
  • Email
Built with Skills
A subscriber with a new phone asks to move the number to its eSIM; the AI agent verifies a one-time code, creates the eSIM profile through an API action, a QR code draws in on the phone, and its signal bars fill

Verifies the subscriber with a one-time code, creates the eSIM profile and sends the QR code.

  • Provisioning via API action
  • SMS via Twilio
  • Email
Built with SMS via Twilio
A subscriber asks whether the number transfer has gone through; the number slides from the previous carrier toward Brightwave, the port request shows received and validated, and the AI agent replies that it moves on Thursday at 10:00 AM

Number porting status

Looks up the port request and tells the subscriber which step it is at and when the number moves.

  • Porting system via API action
Built with Agent builder
A subscriber says the home internet keeps dropping; the AI agent runs a remote line test that passes, restarts the router remotely as its lights blink, changes the Wi-Fi channel, and the speed bar fills to 512 Mbps

Home internet troubleshooting

Runs a remote line test, restarts the router and walks the subscriber through the rest from your guides.

  • Network tools via MCP
  • Knowledge base
Built with Knowledge base
On WhatsApp, a subscriber whose fault is outside the home asks for a technician; the AI agent offers three slots, Tuesday 9 to 11 AM is tapped and booked through an API action, and the technician Sam Ortiz is confirmed

Technician visits

When the fault is outside the home, offers open slots, books the visit and confirms the technician on WhatsApp.

  • WhatsApp
  • Field service via API action
Built with WhatsApp integration

Operators, subscribers, lines and amounts in the scenes are illustrative. Actions in your billing, provisioning and network systems run through the integration or the API action or MCP server you connect.

Guardrails

No SIM Swap Without a Verified Subscriber and Your Approval

The AI agent verifies the account holder before it changes a line, holds high-risk changes for a named approver, and keeps a record your fraud team can read.

  • Policy-bound skills

    Each skill carries your verification steps, plan rules and credit limits, and the AI agent stays inside them.

  • Approval before sensitive actions

    SIM swaps, port-outs, line cancellations and credits over your limit wait for the approver you name.

  • A trace log of every step

    Every lookup, identity check, tool call and result, with timestamps, on every conversation.

  • PII redaction

    Account numbers, PINs and personal details are masked in tickets, transcripts and reports.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI agent for telecom customer support?

An AI agent for telecom customer support is software that resolves subscriber requests, such as bill questions, plan changes, eSIM activation and outage updates, on its own and around the clock. In BoldDesk, it reads the account from your billing and network systems, makes the change through an API action or MCP server, confirms it with the subscriber, and hands off to a person when your rules call for one.

Can BoldDesk’s AI agent change a subscriber’s plan or activate an eSIM in our billing and provisioning systems?

Yes. Your billing, BSS and provisioning systems connect as API actions or an MCP server, and the AI agent calls them to change plans, add travel passes, split bills or create eSIM profiles. You set per action whether it runs on its own or waits for approval; SIM swaps, port-outs and large credits usually wait.

Does BoldDesk work with our BSS, OSS and telephony platforms?

Twilio, Aircall, Ringover, Exotel, Ozonetel, KrispCall, WhatsApp, PagerDuty, Salesforce and HubSpot are native BoldDesk integrations. BSS, OSS, billing, porting and field service platforms, including in-house ones, connect as API actions or as an MCP server that gives the AI agent their tools.

How does BoldDesk protect subscriber data and account changes?

BoldDesk has a SOC 2 Type 2 report, is GDPR compliant with a data processing agreement, and encrypts data with AES-256; SSO, role-based access and PII redaction are available. Your own verification steps before an account change, such as a PIN or a one-time code, are written into the AI agent’s skills, and every step is kept in the trace log.

How do I stop the AI agent from doing a SIM swap or port-out without approval?

Mark the SIM swap and port-out actions as approval-required, and name the approver, such as your fraud team. The AI agent verifies the subscriber, prepares the change and waits; it runs only after approval, and the trace log records who approved it and when.

When does the AI agent hand a subscriber to a person?

When the subscriber asks for a person, when an identity check fails or a fraud signal appears, when the conversation turns frustrated, or when the request is one your rules keep for staff, such as a cancellation for your retention team. The ticket arrives with the full conversation and the AI agent’s trace, so nobody asks the subscriber again.

How much does BoldDesk cost for a telecom support team?

BoldDesk starts at $99 a month, billed yearly, with 500 AI credits included and unlimited human agents, so billing, network and retention staff join without seat fees. Credits are spent on the work AI does, never per resolution, and extra credits cost $40 per 1,000.

Which channels and languages can subscribers use with the AI agent?

Subscribers reach the AI agent on live chat, email, SMS through Twilio and WhatsApp, and it replies in 40+ languages. Calls from Aircall, Ringover, Exotel, Ozonetel or KrispCall arrive in the same BoldDesk inbox, so your team sees every channel in one place.
