100 SMS Per Day Per User in India

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has implemented a regulation through which mobile users in India will have
100 SMS to use per day per user. The regulations prescribe several steps for protection of customers
from unsolicited Commercial calls and SMSs. According to new regulation passed by Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, one mobile phone subscriber will not be able to send more than 100 SMSs in a day. Move is likely to a relief for millions of mobile phone users who receive unwanted text messages each day.




Currently, Telecom service providers offer SMS packages offering as many as 2000 SMS per day, 
which can be made use of by unregistered persons for  sending commercial communications  from ordinary numbers.  In order to reduce such a possibility, TRAI has, in consumer interest, prescribed a limit of 100 SMS per day per SIM for all the customers.
Experts opine that this may not completely eliminate marketing and other SPAM messages, however, it will largely deter marketers from sending unlimited text messages from their mobile devices.
