Regulations on Signal Jammers

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines does not allow the use of signal jammers. Signal jammers are prohibited under the 2002 Telecommunications Act, which prohibits the manufacture, sale, possession, and use of any telecommunications equipment that can interfere with telecommunications signals. Offenders of this law are subject to criminal prosecution and may face fines or imprisonment. The 2002 law also states that anyone who wishes to use telecommunications equipment must obtain a license from the National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (NTRC).

The NTRC is responsible for regulating all matters related to electronic communications in the country. The NTRC also has a mandate to protect consumer interests and promote the efficient use of telecommunications services. Individuals who wish to obtain a license to use telecommunications equipment must submit an application to the NTRC. Applications must be accompanied by all required information, including details of the equipment to be used, location, and duration of use. The NTRC reviews license applications on a case-by-case basis and may request additional information if necessary. If the application is approved, the license is valid for a specific period, after which it must be renewed.
