There are a few ways one can benefit from AIT / SMS Pump:

- Exclusivity: This is where an exclusivity deal is signed with a party for a specific route. But when those parties are engaging themselves with a minimum traffic volume and fail to meet their objectives, they tend to turn to AIT to achieve their objectives.

- Range Leasing: Here we have a rogue party leasing a number range and getting a revenue share of the traffic going through that range. MNO could be aware or not of the scheme.

- Range Hosting: Same as above but hosted on MNO. MNO could be aware or not of the scheme.

- CR Tampering: More complex scheme where a party would send lots of OTP to dead numbers in the hope to drop CR and DR. This might lead to the rogue party getting that traffic afterwards if the customer is looking at switching provider.
