Under the telecommunications charter, providers have agreed to tackle fraud through a 9-point action plan. The telecommunications providers have committed to:
- identify and implement techniques to block scam calls and share data on the source of these calls across the sector
- identify and implement techniques to block smishing texts
- work with banks to strengthen authentication checks at the point a device contract is applied for and at the point a customer requests to move their number to a new provider
