TRAI New Rules 100 SMS each day from 1st March 2011


You will not be allowed to sent more than a 100 SMS each day.

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India(TRAI) has issued new SMS guidelines. As per which all telecom service providers are required to remove all SMS packs which provide more than 100 SMS per day. This will come into effect from 1st March 2011. Now those who have the habbit of sending more than 100 SMS per day will have to restrict yourself to 100 SMS or you will have to take new connection for sending the rest.Even if you are ready to pay for the remaining SMS,it will not be sent from your number.

TRAI has taken this decision because of the growing number of Unsolicited Commercial Communications ( promotional SMS and Calls).However, in order to curb such messages, TRAI has given direction that no Access Providers shall provide any SMS packages in any form (through voucher, student pack, seasonal pack etc) permitting sending of more than 100 SMS per day per SIM. Any way this decision will be a extremely bad news for heavy texters.
