Ofcom consultation on Good Practice Guide to Help Prevent Misuse of Sub-allocated and Assigned Numbers - Which? response

Which? welcomes the opportunity to respond to Ofcom’s consultation on a Good Practice Guide to Help Prevent Misuse of Sub-allocated and Assigned Numbers. 

Which? is supportive of Ofcom’s aims to clarify the expectations on providers for sub-allocating and assigning phone numbers and to consolidate best practice. This will be a positive step for consumer protection as it should help to standardise approaches across providers to limit access to valid numbers by those who intend to misuse them. 

Below we set out Which?’s views on Ofcom’s proposals in more detail.
