NCA lifts ban on Vodafone

download (5)The National Communications Authority (NCA) has lifted the ban they imposed on Vodafone Ghana.

The Authority banned the telecom giant from adding new subscribers, introducing new services, promotions, offers and all marketing communications.

The sanction was as a result of a nationwide outage on the network on June 3rd, 2014.

A statement issued by the NCA said as part of conditions required for lifting the ban, the network was to investigate and rectify all issues on its core network, following which the NCA was to conduct a series of tests.

“These included implementing a permanent fix on its Recharge Platform and ensuring that identified defective equipment was replaced,” it said.

It said following various actions taken by Vodafone and reported to the authority, the “NCA has since conducted a series of verification tests on the network between June 25, 2014 and July 6, 2014 regarding the remedial measures on the outage that occurred on June 3, 2014”.

The statement said the verification tests proved that Vodafone had met all the requirements to ensure network stability and consumer satisfaction and thus lifted the ban.
