New guides issued by ComReg to inform consumers when using Phonecards and the Internet
ComReg - Media Release - April, 28th 2004
New guides issued by ComReg to inform consumers when using Phone cards and the Internet
The Commission for Communications Regulation (ComReg) has today published the latest
in its series of consumer information leaflets on “Prepaid Phonecards” and “Modem Hi-jacking
using dialler programs”.
These leaflets have been produced in response to a range of enquiries by consumers to
ComReg. On Phone cards the leaflet identifies some seven factors which consumers
should be aware of when purchasing Phonecards. This check-list aims to ensure that
consumers can make both informed choices and that they get value for money.
Modem ‘hi-jacking’ is an increasing issue where consumers’ modems can have their
Internet settings altered without their knowledge potentially leading to excessive charges
being levied. The ComReg leaflet on this issue seeks both to raise awareness and identify
some nine simple safeguards/steps consumers can take to avoid falling victim of dialler
programmes.
These guides are available in the Consumer Information section of ComReg’s
website www.comreg.ie or by contacting ComReg’s LoCall number at – 1890 229 668
