SMS interconnection is through SIGTRAN, which is SS7 signalling and IP transmission.
Vodacom is obliged in terms of section 37 of the Act to consider formal requests for interconnection services from OLO’s, and the feasibility of which are determined inter alia by the provisions of the Act, the Interconnection Regulations published in Government Gazette No.35101 dated 9 April 2010 (the “Call Termination Regulations”) and Vodacom’s business practices, rules and policies, including exposure to commercial risk.
