Rio - The first day of suspension of sales of chips for cell phones from TIM in Rio yesterday consumers still found the product alternative points of sales. Street vendors and hawkers who work in the city center offered free chips. However, warned that while the sale continues to be out of the stores operator, the activation of services can not be made. Yesterday, the court held Anatel's decision to suspend the marketing of new cell lines of TIM.
The office manager Marisa Estrela, 56, went to the camelódromo Uruguaiana to buy a chip TIM, because the service had attracted attention. And she found. "But I've been told that even if I switch to activate the service on call-center operator, they will not turn on," he said.
Mario Souza, 55, who sold the chip to Marisa, gave wrong information to the consumer, stating that the sale of the service was not prohibited by the FCC. However, he did explain that the activation is not being done in the TIM.
"The sales have decreased, but it was not a big impact," says Souza, noting that many users have opted for other carriers. Marisa was the case: "As a result, ended up choosing a competitor," he said.
In Uruguaiana, the autonomous Isabella da Cruz, 17, says he usually buy ten chips of each carrier to resell. But yesterday was different, she did not buy any of the TIM.
Judge says punishment "harsh and austere" was "necessary" and lawful
Judge of the Federal Court of the First Region (TRF) in Sao Paulo, Tales Krauss Queiroz yesterday denied a preliminary injunction TIM to end the ban on the sale of chips, determined by the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel). The judge said the measure aims to ensure quality services to the consumer.
"I assess the extent of the FCC was not illegal and not infringed due process. The measure was hard and stern. But it was necessary, "said Queiroz. He adds: "There is obviously an easy solution. But we need to reach a compromise solution, intermediate and balanced, to align the economic objectives of the telcos with the desires of consumers. The consumer legitimately want to pay less and talk more. And you want a quality service. "
In a statement, TIM said: "Sellers own and partners can not provide, temporarily, to clients the following services: portability, re-registration area (exchange DDD) and transfer of ownership."
