We’re 10 days away from new mobile data laws (out of bundle protection) in South Africa – here’s what you need to know
South Africa is 10 days away from new data regulations – with mobile customers soon to be spared from out of bundle charges, unless they choose to opt in.
The amended End User and Subscriber Services Charter (EUSSC) Regulations will come into effect on 1 March, which will prevent mobile operators from automatically charging out of bundle data rates for customers who do not opt into the service.
The regulations also state that mobile operators must send usage depletion notifications (SMSes) as customers consume their data bundles.
Good news as many subscribers got caught by surprise – myself included once.
