Great news. But it still remains to be seen how much compliance we see with these regulations. Hope TRAI is able to use some teeth & claw as well.

NO, If you require to send more than 100 sms, you can get the facility after submitting a written application. Thats what I just heard on Aaj Tak. Lets check out if any such detail is available on internet.

I too used to send more than 100 messages until my cell refused to let go any sort of outgoing message. But still i am happy. Atleast there will be some tab on the no. of spam messages we receive!

 

[Bobbyguitarist]

yeap!! one thing i didnt understood clearly is why the hell they took 45 days to add my number into "Do not call registry" (which is shite by the way) i mean once they recieve message it should automatically go into registry...how hard is that.?!

[IndianMascot]
