NTC issues memo on Mobile Internet Charges

Saw this memo posted at the Power Mac Center earlier today — it’s an
NTC Memorandum Circular that mandates smartphone vendors and retailers
to follow consumer protection rights on newly sold phones being charged
3G internet fees without consent from the buyer.

Here’s a photo I took of the memo.



One particular section of the memo requires telcos to send a text message to subscribers once their credit limit reaches 50%.

The memo was made effective last February so I am not sure if these provisions are well-enforced or being followed.
