September 27, 2011

On Twitter -- Ramesh Srivats:  Yay. No more spam SMS. But spare a thought for those 99 people who'll still get Dr. Batra's message today.

 

Irritating calls from telemarketers will be a thing of past from today as telecom operators are going to block pesky calls and messages as per regulator Trai's recommendations. On September 5, after much delay, Trai came out with recommendations to stop pesky calls and text messages from September 27. The regulator has ordered that no access provider (operator) shall permit transmission of more than 100 SMSes per day per SIM.
