People can miss a call when they are switched off or out of coverage range or busy on another call. Missed Call alert informs subscribers of missed calls to their phone when they are unable to pick up. Once they are connected to the network, Telcos send a message (SMS) with the number of missed calls to their phones. The SMS contains the date, time of the calling, the caller’s number and no of times of call. People need to subscribe this value-added service (VAS) called MCA to get the message on your phone inbox.
