Here comes another Crap Rule from Indian Government. After TRAI 100 sms/day regulation now comes DoT SMS restrictions. Its worst than before, the Sms limit is restricted to 5 SMS/day. Telecom Operators in India have banned Bulk SMS/MMS To Not More than 5 at one Go !! as per the instructions given to them by DoT / TRAI / Government Of India : Ministry of Home Affairs.More than five SMS or multimedia messages from one number cannot be sent in one go. All multimedia messages with attachments more than 25 Kb have also been banned. The ban applies throughout the country . Recently only Delhi High court has lifted the cap on sending 200 SMS per day set by TRAI for personal usage.

Though, The Ban Covers SMSs at one Go , Major Telecom Operators like in India have Simply Capped The Daily SMS Limit to JUST 5 SMSs/Day
Why This 5 SMS/Day Restriction?
The Later Order was given by Govt of India due to the North-Eastern Exodus The messages appear to be intended to panic northeasterners, send large numbers of them back to their home state, and foster fear of Muslims. Those developments could set the stage for sectarian riots, always a concern in a country that has seen such clashes break out frequently.
The home minister has said an inquiry is underway. But so far officials have not shared information about the source of these messages
Although, the Ban Covers SMSs at one Go, The Telecom Players like Airtel,Tata Docomo,BSNL,Reliance have completely capped the SMS limit to JUST 5 SMS/Day!!!
Even in way2sms.com they have added the text “Please do not send any kind of religious or Hurtful SMS.”
When A Subscriber tries to send any sms, after the sms count has reached 5 , they get the Error SMS From Telecom Operators.
Do you think is it fair for Indian Govt to take such actions?
This blog is representing the real information about the telecom operators cap the daily sms limit and it is nice to read the information. I like such article which is related to the real world.

thnk u my friends……
Today I got this message from Airtel,
Good News! Effective 24-Aug-12 daily limit for bulk SMS has now been revised to 20 SMS/day instead of 5 SMS till 31-Aug as per the latest directive from DOT.
hi all,
this is all dirty game of Congress rather than controlling muslim & riots,they are stoping ours SMS facility.After recharging of 89 i am getting 3000 sms means 100/day and this pack for limited period but if i am unble to do more than 5 sms per day for 15 odd days so what is the benefit of this service?
And if Govt. applied this rule for all Telcom users nd Networks so why only its happening in Prepaid from Postpaid we are sending lots of SMS ?
Its Proves that India is a Country of Blind & Deaf Ppl.
no body want to do any thing aginst this Govt. today they are allowing us to send 5 SMS tommorow if they will charge 10rs/SMS no body will shout or raise their voice against them they will pay the amount without any pblm nd feel the pain untill they die.
I saw a comment where a idiot commented wow “its cheer time now we can send 20 sms instead of 5” I want to ask from U ppl(INDIANS) really its cheer time ?plz reply me without taking any important step nothing gonna change not these Govt.& not their monopoly so we have to raise our voice “NOW OR NEVER”
why this telecom authority cheating to ppls? Firstly ur telecom dept gives us options so that we can send free sms, and when we started using this service, u ppl get another stupid sms limit, which nw exeeded til 20msg frm 5 sms
What will we do frm this 20 msg
Are ur customers mad or crazy? They are getting rechrgd their cellphns fr sms pack? If someone is spending 89Rs for getting 3000 sms freee?
What does it show? It shws custmr’s sms usage!!Which u ppl are nt allowing to send.
Still my 1662 sms’s are left which i will nt be able to send till 29th of August, as this is deactivation date of my sms.
So that 89Rs for me was very much precious, I must have used it in someother thing instead of rechrgng my number. but telecom sector think that ppl are fool
they will nt say anything???
U ppl are earning money frm customers ryt? But we ppl are earning money here by wrking hard n then gt salary?
but it is not for u ppl?
N why u hav nt applied this sms limit for POSTPAID customers? Coz u r gttng money frm them? Its ur Company’s revenue u r gttng?
But this is not at all fair?
in this sense u cant cheat innocent ppl. And if nw u r applying this sms limit, then make sure that this 1662 sms balance of mine will b added to my nxt rechrg wenever i will do. These msgs shud nt get cancelled, n shud carry frwrd
If ppl are nt sayibg anything then dnt think that they dont have their tongue or right to say anything.
Its just like that, how u ppl(telecom sector) can go dwn instead of generating their revenue.
hope either this sms limit will be chngd or u will carry frwrd these remaining sms
Um….
The mobile operators got the chance to milk this situation too for their own benefit.For example – a person like me,who paid 62 rs. for 1000 sms pack for month will suffer obvious loss if i dnt get to send more than 5 sms per day, even though , howsoever urgent it may be.My sms pack ends on 27th august 2012 and i have more than 576 free sms remaining in my package to spend, which i now find IMPOSSIBLE to finish with this 5 sms per day capping on.Isn’t this a violation of my privilege…
Praveen has written what is in theo mind of all of us. Sms is a means for many of us to communicate with our dear ones when We are not in a position to call. Now due to no fault of us,we suffer. Govt has ordered to stop only the bulk smses. But the telecom ppl cheat us by framing such rules. I strongly advocate that this should be called back…
