Mozambique’s new legislation will require mobile operators to implement a system allowing users to block unsolicited promotional SMS messages. Previously, businesses could send promotional texts without explicit consent. The new law mandates prior user authorization for all promotional SMS content. Operators are now legally obligated to provide a mechanism for total blocking of these messages. This aims to protect consumers from unwanted communications and give them greater control over their mobile devices. The legislation intends to reduce spam and enhance user privacy regarding mobile marketing practices within the country. Implementation details and enforcement mechanisms are yet to be fully clarified.
