Vodafone Fiji denies listening to calls

Vodafone Fiji has clarified that they do not listen to or record calls.

This is according to Managing Director Aslam Khan while responding to a report released by their headquarters in the United Kingdom which has publicly released statistics of legal intercept of call and calls records.                         

Khan said Vodafone Fiji provided this information to its Head Office in UK and consented to the statistics to be published for public consumption. 

He said they have nothing to hide and the 670 cases listed in the report under Vodafone Fiji is for information related to call records that is provided to Police and the Court on production of a search warrant or court order.  

According to Khan the only information they provide on the production of a search warrant is the date and time of calls made or text messages sent between two parties and the duration of that call.

He said this is the only information they capture and record for billing purposes.

He said Vodafone Fiji does not have technical capability in its network to either listen to a telephone conversation or record a phone call or a text message.
