Story: Vodafone denies responsibility for stolen SIM bill
Posted by: Anonymous (Thursday 25 May 2006, 11:30 AM)
Drawing comparisons with a 'live wallet' is not really relevant. Who would carry £850 around in their wallet?? When a credit card is stolen from a wallet the end user is liable only for the first £50. Isn't a mobile phone account another line of credit?
Since all of these calls are within the Vodafone global network, surely this means the costs of the calls are nearly pure profit. If I owned a company I would not wish to be associated with profiting from a crime, especially at my customers expense.
I think it's high time that mobile operators were regulated under the same laws as credit card companies. Maybe then they would take the security of their customers accounts more seriously.
