Starts This Month! A Text Will Let You Know If You Are Stolen

When Mary checked her phone bill (something many of us dread for far too long…) she felt confused by how much more expensive it had gotten compared to what she was used to paying. She went to her phone carrier’s local store to inquire about the bill when they told her that she had apparently overused her monthly data and consequently “purchased” additional data. The weird part? She didn’t even know about it.

Some mobile phone deduction items are often “purchased” in a muddled state without the user's knowledge or consent because of how inefficient the bill notification system is.

But starting this month, your monthly phone bills will now be sent to you as a text message directly from your telecommunications operator so you don’t miss any important information. This comprehensive text bill will clearly list out all the fees that you should be paying for the previous month.

Official announcement from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

Another new rule

I’m sure many of you out there have received unsolicited phone calls from unknown sources and secret numbers which, once you pick up, lead way for a robot-sounding female voice - or in more awkward cases, complete silence. And that’s pretty annoying.

Another order has just recently been given to over 16 government departments of all provinces on July 30rd which requires them to investigate and punish crank calls in the country for 18 months in order to provide better communication services.

Official announcement from 13 national departments.
