NEW DELHI: The Delhi High Court today set aside the cap of 200 SMSes per day sent through a mobile phone SIM for personal communications but upheld the curb on unwanted commercial SMSes saying they infringed the "equally" important right to privacy of "unwilling recipients."

"We are, therefore, of the opinion that the impugned provision (of Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) insofar as it covers non-UCCs (Unrestricted Unsolicited Commercial Communications) SMS in the present form as it exists, infringes the freedom of speech of the citizens.

People surely misuse the SMS facility. But I find it very useful.

It is a non-intrusive way of communicating with friends / relatives who are actually working / busy. It gives them the choice of responding at their leisure. And you will also get more thought out / researched replies. Only catch is that they should be of the variety who check their SMS.

Sending a joke or an interesting article link via SMS is also a relatively non-intrusive way of keeping in touch.

When one makes a call, sometimes it gets difficult to properly end the call with a not-so-close acquaintance.

Well depends. Like I mainly rely on SMS. Calls and all doesn't matters. But I use a hell lot of SMS :p

200 SMS is like a matter of 2-3 hours if I chat with someone continuously.

And well, after TRAI did this...I spent many days without SMS for rest of the day, because of reaching the limit within morning..!! :p

And believe me school lovers still uses SMS a lot, as they need to talk without make their parents aware of the thing. So SMS is the only way out..!!

Not an SMS junkie, so I was never likely to hit the previous limit anyway. Much better to simply call 'em; way cheaper too, what with 1p/sec calling rates.
