People who communicate a lot need to check the number of messages they send as from today TRAI has stipulated the number to 100 per person. The stipulation is being exercised to curb the menace of random messages.
EVERYONE HAS faced the irritating SMSes that take up unnecessary space in one's phone memory, and calls that disturbs one on a peaceful Sunday afternoon. Telecommunication companies have tried to curb spam messages and service calls, and nowadays people can bar such numbers but random calls and messages always have a habit of cropping up. Thus, in an attempt to limit these messages further, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has limited the number of SMS messages to 100 per person per day, and this directive will take effect from today.

Short messaging services or SMS has become a way of life with most people in India, and indeed across the world. Students stuck in a boring class, executives in meeting, and even people at home use this service all the time. This habit has been taken advantage of by various mobile network companies who make a lot of money through their SMS packages, as SMS is something that everybody uses.
Nevertheless, if the limitation of 100 SMS is applied then a lot of protests would be heard from different parts of the community. There are businesses who take the help of SMS service to promote their work and the 100 SMS per day would incur losses for them. The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) are also not one with this grouse, as they say that on one hand they do want to curb the irritating communications that happen with random messages but on the same time they do not want to hamper the right to communicate of the customers. Keeping this in view they have asked the TRAI to take back the stipulation.
