Delhi HC orders TRAI, asks to remove 200 SMS per day limit

On 27th September 2011, TRAI ordered all GSM and CDMA service provides to limit number of outgoing SMS to only 100. After countless complaints and much dissension among customers, this limit was further increased to 200 per day in November last year.



This daily cap was introduced to prevent message centers and people from sending too many spam, marketing and promotional messages. Although it proved useful in it's purpose, it also restricted personal communication among people.
 
If you're one of the unhappy victims of this annoying restriction, you can now feel relieved. A Delhi High Court order today asked TRAI to remove this limit for general users while uphold the daily cap for marketing and non-personal messaging. This is a good news for many of us who missed sending mass SMS to friends and family. Order has been passed and implementation should be realized shortly which means once again we will be able to subscribe to unlimited message packs and send as many SMSes as we wish.
