No sending more than 100 SMS per day from September 27

[dashing.sujay]

But the decision didn' curbed spammers even a bit, at least in my case. I get at least 10-20 promo msgs and 10 calls daily

Spam has stopped almost completely for me. Not a single spam for the past 2 months.

200 message limit though makes more sense.

 

[dashing.sujay]

May be it doesn't works for me!

You must not have enabled dnd

 

[dashing.sujay]

Obviously I kept it disabled to get call rates offer msgs But with it, other promo msgs like dealsandyou, fashionandyou screw me

 

[montsa007]

It has been increased to 200 from Yesterday/Tuesday

It has been increased to 200 from Yesterday/Tuesday

+1 I agree...read it in news today

do people in this country really message 200 times a day??Anyways..as long as it curbs spamming..i am all in favour..before the 100 sms rule..i used to get 10+ spam messages..that has reduced by half now..so..yay!!

FYI : even if you enable DND, you still get "call rates offer msgs" cauz its direct from your service provider. I do get it regularly like once a week

 

[dashing.sujay]

^^Really? If I'm right these types of msgs/calls come under telemarketing promotion, hence banned after DND ? I had heard, after DND, NO msgs at all.

should have reduced to 50 rather.

 

[krishnandu.sarkar]

lol...!! Many peoples use SMS as their primary communication. Me being the one of them

I don't get even that. Send START 0 to 1909. Blocks all ads.

 

[dashing.sujay]

^^Actually, thats why i didnt started DND.

200 messages is a fine limit. I think there should be no more hikes in the limit.

I never got that kind of msg after activating dnd.

same here. May be lesser than 30. I make phone calls to wish/talk/emergency communication etc.

should have reduced to 50 rather.

Then youngsters will start to kill themselves due to lack of sms sending opportunities.

Dear dashing sujay,
You always forget "It happens only in India"
DND does not work, they always find ways in and around the system.

^^But it has worked for so many ppl.

Dear montsa007, I get no calls or smses from advertisers at all. I know at least 10 others who don't get any spam. They haven't found a way around this block yet.
