Trai Caps Send 100 Sms Per Day,Pay 50 Paisa Beyond That

Hi friends,Yesterday a bad news came from Telecom Sector  that now TRAI(Telecome Regular Authority Of India) again tighten their rules.After Trai's previous decision to users,they don't send more sms than 100.But after some days due to criticism they decided to roll back their decision.For more details check this   Trai Role Back 200 Messages A Day-Now Send Unlimited Message In A Day.

Don't Send Message More Than 100 SMS Per Day

Again Trai gives guidelines to all mobile network companies to apply this advisory on all
numbers of India.TRAI has gone ahead and with the directive asked the operators to:

• To restrict the unregistered telemarketers from sending bulk promotional SMSs using software applications. Operators have been asked to put in place a solution within 3 months, which will ensure that no commercial SMSs are sent containing same or similar characters or strings or variants from any source or number. The solution will ensure that not more than 200 SMSs with such similar ‘signature’ are sent in an hour. But registered telemarketers, transactional message sending entities and telephone numbers exempted by the Authority are excluded from this provision. Normal consumers sending non-commercial SMSs will also not be affected by this measure.

• While the subscriber is free to send SMSes beyond this number, all such SMSes sent beyond 100 SMS per day per SIM shall be charged at a tariff of minimum 50 paise,
  
• Lower the daily Free SMS limit to 100 SMS/day and put a price restraint on sending more than one hundred SMS per day per SIM at a concessional rate. So, all SMSs sent beyond the 100 SMS/day/SIM limit, shall be charged at a rate not lower than fifty paise. Operators have been given a timeframe of 15 days for implementing this

• Users can now easily lodge a complaint against an unregistered telemarketer call as the process has been made easier. Now the complaint can be registered through SMS by simply forwarding the spam SMS to 1909 after appending the telephone number and date of receipt of the SMS. Mobile operators will also need to set-up a web-based complaint registering system and a dedicated e-mail address to receive such complaints on spam messages and calls, as per the TRAI order

• "The solution will ensure that not more than 200 SMS with such similar 'signature' are sent in an hour,"

I think is Trai took very hard decision on the spammers.But the youth brigade is something disappoint with this action.But the good news is that Trai gives 15 days to operators to implement on this.So send unlimited Sms till than.
