No.
Save the case of prepaid cards, end-users do not have to request the compensation. It is the operators who have to take the necessary steps.
For operators to be aware of the interruption, it is in the interest of the end-users to immediately report interruptions to their operators.

The BIPT emphasises that even with all these tips in mind, there are still the limitations of the measuring device itself.
