New Delhi:
Mobile phone users will now be able to send upto 200 SMSes per day
as the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Tuesday raised
the earlier imposed cap of 100 messages following requests from
telcos and consumers.
"The authority has received representations from some of the
service providers and consumers to increase the limit of 100 SMS
per day per SIM. The authority has considered these
representations and decided to increase the limit," TRAI said in a
statement.
In an effort to curb unsolicited commercial calls and messages,
the regulator had in September restricted service providers from
providing any SMS package or tariff plan permitting sending more
than 100 SMSes per day per SIM.
However, it had relaxed this restriction for some categories of
users such as dealers of telecom operators, e-ticketing service
providers and social networking sites.
Besides, this restriction was not applicable on festivals.
Earlier this month, the regulator had also imposed a termination
charge of 5 paise per SMS on operators from whose networks
commercial messages originate to further curb pesky messages.
