SOUTH AFRICA: MOBILE USERS WARNED AGAINST UNPROTECTED COMMUNICATION

Loading...

SOUTH African cellular consumers have been alerted to the dangers of engaging in mobile-based communications with non- members of the country's Wireless Application Service Providers Association (WASPA).

Financial loss is the major risk.

WASPA warns that using contract or prepaid mobile devices to transact with a mobile content or applications provider that is not one of WASPA's over 400 local and overseas-based members is tantamount to engaging in unprotected mobile communications.

Many WASPA members are overseas-based mobile firms who are attracted to the growing South Africa market.

"Mobile consumers have very limited recourse in dealing with non-WASPA members based locally or abroad," says WASPA General Manager, Ilonka Badenhorst.
