Data reconciliation for pre-paid, SIM-card based subscription contracts

The Act also requires data reconciliation upon the conclusion of a new subscriber agreement, which must be annually repeated for existing agreements. Furthermore, service providers must review existing agreements and identify their existing subscribers by 30 June 2017 or their agreements will be terminated.

An introduction to terminology

Today, in the age of 5G, mobile telephony cannot be separated from the internet, and you can even watch TV and listen to the radio using your smart devices.

Contracting with a service provider

If you have a phone (or internet or TV) subscription, you must be familiar with the term General Terms and Conditions (GTC). The GTC is a part of the subscriber agreement and is governing to all contracts.

Luckily, mobile telephony abroad, especially in EU member states, has become an accessible and natural convenience for an increasing number of people.
