The agency also determined that the contracts should now contain a clause in which the client indicates whether or not to receive advertising
A decision of the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) should protect consumers and prevent telephone operators from using fine print in contracts and send the phone annoying advertisements without permission from the client.
The agency sent the business sector a circular stating that as of May 1, the contracts are appropriate so that the letter has not body size less than 12 as determined by the Code of Consumer Protection.
The determination of the Anatel follows the recommendation of the Federal Public Ministry, which also called for agency action on advertising for mobile. The MPF believes that consumers have their privacy invaded when receiving advertisements by phone without permit.
Thus, in the same circular, the FCC also ruled that the contracts should now contain a clause in which the client indicates whether or not to receive advertising messages. For contracts already in place, consumers may contact your carrier if you do not want to receive advertisements and promotions.
