No SMS subscription ads for kids

Excellent.

Now get Vodacom, Cell-C and MTN to agree not to allow their sapmmers -erm clients - to spam via SMS using prepaid cards or own accounts, with an accompanying hotline to report such incidents. ;)

This is good news indeed. Well done to WASPA for tackling these issues head on!

TOO LATE!

I just found out that my childs airtime is disappearing because of a so called subscription service she "enrolled to". This entails a few hundred rand over many months. I will start a separate thread on this. Now just HOW are they going to know it's a kids phone? I still believe it should not be allowed unless you sign and agree with such subscription with a contract that requires signatures and ID of proof that you subscribed. I maintain my view that this is a money earning scam where Cell corporates as well as government members benefit from, thats why they do nothing concrete to stop this nonsense and theft.
