Yes, I also got a sms abt 3000/billing cycle...But that still leaves that doubt what If I sent 10/per day for 29 days... so I have 2700 available on the 30th day?If not, then its a pretty confusing way of informing customers On a personal level, I hardly send more than 10 per day 😕
its not at all a great move.....people are doing accidents on roads.....so Govt removes the frigging ROADS!!?
Political or Non-political, some opposition to this move has started in legal way - No more unlimited messaging for you
Members of the public are disgruntled with the regulation that comes into effect from today, passed by TRAI to curb the menace of pesky communications; Aaditya Thackeray to file PIL against it soon
In response to this infringement, the president of Shiv Sena's youth wing, Aaditya Thackeray will be filing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) at the High Court in two days, protesting the move.
This is perhaps the first time that a politician has given the customary dharnas and rallies a miss, and actually enlisted the support of the legal system to settle an issue.
Under the new regulation, which comes into effect from today, an individual mobile SIM holder will only be allowed to send 100 SMSes in a single day. The TRAI rationale for this order is that the limit will prevent consumers from being plagued by a ceaseless slew of advertisements from tele-marketers and other bogus entities that often flood inboxes with spam. According to Thackeray, however, this move is sure to have an adverse effect on the general public. Members of the populace seem to agree.
"The government wishes to curb the endless and disruptive flow of messages, but instead of addressing the source of the problem, they are imposing limitations on the public. This goes against the basic rights of an individual," said Thackeray.
The young leader is also planning to meet the leader of the Opposition at the centre, Sushma Swaraj, in Delhi, along with his party's MPs, to request that she raise the issue in Parlia-ment.
"There are many institutions which have to send hundreds of messages on a daily basis, none of which are commercial in nature. How will they function? If a political party or a non-profit organisation needs to send messages in bulk, they won't be able to do so. This rule will inconvenience hundreds of people from all walks of life," said Thackeray.

so basically they are annoyed that they would not be able to push their propaganda through this channel anymore? i seriously hope that their complaints are rejected by the courts. it is pretty clear that they are not worried about the general population but are concerned about their own propaganda machine.
Did political parties really used mobile based sms service to reach voters, when they can easily use web based services for sending bulk group sms.Though they would be equally affected by this law due to upcoming local elections.

Bt This isn't such Big deal for Politicians, Its that popping kid Aditya Thackery who wanna show his heroism in college and as Shiv Sena Youth President.He or any other politician barely cares abt it. And don't forget, TRAI had kept option open for those who need more SMS or bulk SMS. Only thing they had to do is to submit written request letter to Service Provider so that proper validation can be done to avoid misuse of bulk sms services. The only moto of TRAI is to restrict un-registered telemarketers. Bt the heat will equally be faced for subscribers like us.
