UK: BT Suspends SMS Trial Amid Data Protection Fears
Tim Richardson writes on The Register:
BT is to pull the plug on a new SMS service amid fears it might breach data protection laws.
The service - BT SMS Self Service - lets punters text BT to see when their phone bill was last paid or to find progress on a fault. BT began trialling the service last month as part of a new way for punters to stay in touch.
Snag is, not only does the text service enable BT customers to find out about their own phone lines, it can let them snoop on the details of others.
