He added that for the call set-up issues of 166; 142 or 85.5 per cent were taken care of; the only one faulty terminal report was not resolved, while there were six health problems and three or 50 percent were resolved.

An investigation shows that 215 internet service issues were received by the telecommunications umpire and 164 or 76.3 per cent of them were taken care of; promotion complaints were 76 and 56 or 73.7 per cent resolution was reached.

He explained that there were 75 complaints regarding recharge cards and 50 or 66.7 per cent were solved and 272 SMS/MMS issues were received with 212 or 77.9 percent resolved. “Also, 138 SIM issues received, and 109 or 78.9 per cent resolution was attained”.

He said that the commission received 422 complaints with regards to VAS and was able to resolve 402 or 95.3 percent, while it had a 100 percent resolution of the two issues received in 3G services.

“The investigation showed that the two most common complaints are billing (4718) and VAS (422). We expect that with the adoption of the “Do Not Disturb’’ (DND) directory, that VAS complaint will reduce considerably.

However in line with the Commission directive concerning Auto-Renewal of Data Services and Automatic Roll-Over, the billing claims will also reduce drastically,’’ Maikano assured.
