The directive issued on Friday operators telecommunications mandates to provide toll-free number '1925' from September 1 to enable or disable the wireless Internet service, either making a call on the number and the next instruction or by sending a SMS.

"Authority decided that those consumers who take the data packets, as STV (special bonus rate) or Combo voucher or add-on package is deemed to have given consent for data services. Such consent will be considered only for the validity of data packet or data exhausting the limit, whichever comes first, "said the regulator.
