Important: The Ethics Commission for Telecommunications monitors the proper use of premium numbers (e.g. 0900 or 070 numbers and text messages to a 4-digit number starting with 3, 4, 7 or 9). The Ethics Commission investigates on its own initiative or in response to complaints lodged for non-compliance with the Ethics Code for Telecommunications. Complaints can be submitted to the Ethics Commission secretariat (Ellipse Building - Building C - Koning Albert II laan 35 - 1030 Brussels). The complaint is presented to the Ethics Commission if the problem could not be solved through mediation of the operator. The Ethics Commission can also look into a complaint lodged with the Office of the Ombudsman for Telecommunications if the mediation of the Office of the Ombudsman for Telecommunications failed to yield a satisfying result for the plaintiff.
