Rogue mobile providers beware

WASPA pro-actively tackles mobile problems like spam and false advertising

They should create a database of people that dont want to get spam and then not allow advertisers to send any form of advertising to those people.

This is what was done in Switzerland by Orange.
Their laws stipulated you needed to be able to opt out of any/all premium and/or spam messages, so they did this.

It was supposed to be sold to our MNOs, however it never happened. Such a pity, as this would be a service I think every consumer would benefit from if guavamunt would implement it into law.

Hmm I have an unhappy experience with MTN Loaded. They used to provide one free subscription and I chose the weather update. A couple of months back the smss stopped and last month I logged in and unsubscribed. Come October bill and i'm billed for MTN Loaded subscription! MTN inquiries say they will not reverse the charge.

Is there anyone from MTN who can help or should I take this up WASPA?
