Regulatory 101: When #regulations don't work try #deregulation to fight against #simboxing & stealing one another's traffic on intl. A2P messaging while safeguarding customer rights. This will yet be another reason to emphasize on the essence of "carrier relations". @ShatelMobile

Have you ever received a call from a 07xxxxxxxx number, and answered it think it’s a local call, only to realize it’s actually an international call appearing to be from a local number? Big problem! A THREAD:

#SIMboxing Thread - Part 2: A loss to the telecom means that they will also be unable to remit the excise duty charge on calls to the government. With the excise duty charge at about 36 percent, that means government revenue loss of about $21.5m annually.

In 2016, it was estimated that telecom companies in Uganda on annual basis were losing about $60m due to illegal redirection of international calls traffic. #SIMboxing

The practice is called #SIMboxing. A person or group of people set-up a device that can take up several SIM cards (SIM box) & use it to complete international calls it receives from the Internet as VoIP and serve them to the in-country mobile network subscribers as local traffic
