Sources and check dates

Sources and Verification Register

Open the operator and regulator pages behind the prices, codes and market claims. Each record shows who published it and when we checked it.

Which source answers which question

Regulator publications are used for market scope and sector statistics. Operator pages are used for prices, bundles, account methods, terms and support instructions.

A news story or third-party list can point towards evidence, but it does not replace an available regulator or operator page for a time-sensitive claim.

  • Market size or operator scope: use the relevant regulator report
  • Price, allowance or validity: use the operator's product or terms page
  • USSD, app or support route: use the operator's help material

What the check date means

The check date records when we reviewed the linked material. It is not a guarantee that an operator has not changed a price or code since then. A direct product, terms or support page is preferred to a homepage.

  • Publisher and page or document title
  • Direct link and check date
  • The claim or content record the source supports
  • Any access limit, age or unresolved ambiguity

Changed or unavailable sources

When a source moves or an offer disappears, the existing citation is not silently repointed to a different claim. The record is reviewed, dated, and either updated, archived, or marked unavailable.
