The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) issued strict regulations to check junk calls and SMS. The mobile users will get relief from unsolicited telemarketing calls and SMS from Tuesday.
"…Hereby (TRAI) directs all access providers to exclude the following persons from the limit of one hundred SMS per day per SIM. Dealers of the telecom service providers and DTH operators for sending request for electronic recharge on mobile numbers," Trai said in a statement.
Various service providers, including the dealers of telecom operators, e-ticketing agencies and social networking sites were exempted from the new limit of one hundred SMSes per day per SIM.
This new limit is especially planned to block “pesky calls and messages.”
TRAI had come out with recommendations, after much delay, to block “pesky calls and text messages” from 27th September.
TRAI ordered that only 100 SMSes per day per SIM can be allowed by access provider (operator).
The telecom lobby COAI had raised the concerns on limiting the SMS right per SIM to 100 per day.
Previously, COAI had asked TRAI to reconsider its proposal to limit the number of text messages per SIM to 100 per day. COAI said that such a law may create a possible challenge to the "fundamental rights" of a regular user.
