Bangalore: This coming Dussehra, be watchful while drawing the list to wish your friends through SMSes. Given the fact that, the Telecom Authority of India (TRAI) from September 27th is limiting the number of texts per day to 100, are halcyon days of text messaging over?
Inexplicably, this latest rules is government's line of attack against spontaneous messages that broke out in recent years. TRAI asked the mobile operators to limit the number of SMSs to 100 per day for each subscriber. This new rule is expected to bang the SMS volume and consequently profit the operators, who can swell the prices to compensate their losses.
Though there are numerous mobile phone users who send more than 100 messages a day, the regulator and government officials are reluctant to buy this. They claim this is the best way to deal with annoying calls that the government and TRAI have been powerless to tackle for years.
