You won't be able to access the chat list. You will be able to
answer incoming calls for a few weeks after that. You won't be able
to receive messages and calls after that.

It would be useful to have someone with expertise in data protection
in Mauritius and the legislation outside Mauritius to advise you on
how to prepare your case. The Data Protection Office would have to
take a decision on that case. The decision might lead to a policy change.
