![Uninor Offers Cheapest 2G Data Plans [June 2013]](http://telecomtalk.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Uninor-GPRS-packs-70x70.jpg?80e5e9)
If you are a high SMS user, its time to rethink on how you going to communicate with your friends. India’s Home Ministry today banned all Bulk SMS and MMS services for 15 days across the country to curb spread of rumours which has led to exodus of North Eastern people from certain parts of country.
According to Union Home Secretary, Mr. R.K. Singh, ”from today onwards, No one will be able to send more than 5 SMS in one go and MMSes of more than 25 KB data through their mobile phones (CDMA/GSM) during the ban period.”
India’s Home Ministry has asked Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to implement the SMS/MMS Ban order through the Mobile Service providers (GSM/CDMA) in all circles across India. This restriction does not apply on the SMS, MMS in respect of transactional message related institutions such as Banking, Financial institutes & Railways.
Official circular for SMS/MMS Ban issued by DoT
The ban announced by Home Ministry just after Prime Minister Mr. Manmohan Singh said that spread of rumors by miscreants had led to people belonging to the North East to flee from Hydrabad (Andhra Pradesh) Bangalore (Karnataka), Pune (Maharashtra) and some other parts of the country, amidst threats of retaliatory attacks over Assam violence.

@Karthikeyan
All of your words are excellent,
If any one state may works without any strikes and without any fights then that will be the first state and number one state of our country, that may be possible only if that state oppose elections and politicians.
Thank you…

I cant believe that i can do it for free. thx mate… u have saved my pocket money
Karthikeyan August 24, 2012 at 4:46 pm
This is not fair to the government.. Why the entire country should suffer for this particular region problem? Any information can be transferred by this 5 msgs?? This different things and Ideas are happening only in India. What the national security force and Intelligence dept are doing? For each and everything ultimately the people are suffering. Bus rate hike, All grocery rate hike, Petrol rate hike, Gas cylinder rate hike, 5sms per day, call rate hike.. What these politicians are doing?? Only for earning money? They really dont know how to face the situation. All the politicians are fighting for their Seat and money. Untill they realize India wont develop..
Vimal August 23, 2012 at 11:38 pm
I dont think sms’s are limited to 5 per day… Its bulk sms’s that are limited… Which basically means… u can forward the same msg to only 5 people at a time…
I was able to make a long series of conversations with my friends all thru the last few days…
Riji August 23, 2012 at 9:47 am
We can sent only 5 sms per day
Riji August 23, 2012 at 9:45 am
What the hell is this? Why don’t they ban twitter, facebook?
npg August 21, 2012 at 3:29 pm
India First… govt took right step by stopping the mis use of tech
@isha
Ishan Sood August 21, 2012 at 1:12 pm
I think this is not the right way to handle the situation by restricted SMS. what government will do after 15 days ? may be this problem arise again govt. cannot banned the SMS service forever. So govt. should find some other way to stop this nonsense rather than restriction of some kind of service
Animesh August 20, 2012 at 10:15 pm
Its seems we are going back to stone age,resticting SMS is certainly not a way to curb the onging issue.Rather the govt should utilize its resources/and intelllect in enlighting people about the issue. This is like restrciting the freedom of free speech
Umesh Gandhi August 20, 2012 at 6:26 pm
As per Govt. Order it is clear that No one will be able to send more than 5 SMS in one go and MMSes of more than 25 KB data through their mobile phones (CDMA/GSM) during the ban period, But operator {due to some confusion} block the services of SMS as 5 SMS in a day instead of 5 SMS in One go
isha August 20, 2012 at 3:59 pm
damn stupid move………….. they should ask people to stop reacting on those messages instead stop messaging
Karthik August 20, 2012 at 2:01 pm
@Arshad
Even Aircel the same
Karthik August 20, 2012 at 2:00 pm
Reliance GSM Kerala is able to send SMS without any restriction.
Subhadip Mitra. August 20, 2012 at 10:35 am
The Government to hide its own callousness and inadequacies to provide national security, is willing to curd the freedom of speech and expression of the citizens, a gross violation of the Constitution of India.
Pramod August 20, 2012 at 12:07 am
Now it’s proved that these all rumors are came out from pakistan.. then, why this ban is continues on indian subscriber…
i think these old age politician never know that the messaging is the most important part of teenager’s life.
akchakra August 19, 2012 at 11:26 pm
like a democratic country of India, this ban system is really make question whether we are actually in democratic country?
Arshad August 19, 2012 at 11:03 pm
This is absolute Bull Shit… The rule says that you cant send more than 5 sms/day in bulk… But these service providers have gone completely crazy, mine is airtel..They have just restricted 5 sms/day even if we send one at a time… and not in bulk..
Mohapatra August 19, 2012 at 10:35 pm
@Asit Paul
R U going crazy in democratic country like India ban on every issue means u most move to china. Fundamental rights to express and speech ur going to ban, ur speech parteen turning like TALIBAN
Sudhakar August 19, 2012 at 10:07 pm
What about foreign mobile subscribers who are roaming in India?. I think this limit will not apply to them.
To ALL :
What do you think about this?.
Sudhakar August 19, 2012 at 9:56 pm
To all :
You are all talking as Indian subscribers in India. Think about the Indian subscribers who are on INTERNATIONAL ROAMING. Eventhough each SMS costs Rs. 25 to Rs. 30, some subscribers may send more than 5 SMS sometimes. Think about their situation if they cannot buy the SIM of the visited country (staying only for some days, changing the country (tour) etc).
They will be left stranded or have to pay more amount to buy the SIM of the visited country.

arindam August 19, 2012 at 11:45 am
why companies are allowing only 5smses when the restriction is only onn bulk smses..?
R R Kumar August 19, 2012 at 11:43 am

Abdulla August 19, 2012 at 2:12 am
how could they do it. such a rubbish reason.
Then they should have banned facebook abd twitter. Could they??
BASKER August 19, 2012 at 1:42 am
This is not a good move by government by any means,,
First of all by doing this it showed that it was panicking
No counsellors , mediators or any public figure is present at the exit points to calm the north east peoples,,
No immediate action or curbing activities from any state so far ,, so as to bring a pause to the rumours
The companies, colleges, others institutions should be asked to explain the situation and retain them,,
The people back home in the Assam shoud be safe and their belongings should be potected,
No notifications by politicians calling people to stay as they were will not solve the issue, Government should step up and do the neccessary and act accordingly,, but I never see that happening from this government,,
And regarding the sms,, there should be mechanism to track the prohibited words like,, jihad,violence,blood etc and that sms should be banned or tacked upon,, banning the sms will create many communication lapses in many organisations as their operations were interdependent with this mode of communication,,
Need some logical thinking from the government,, this move is childish,,
Steve August 19, 2012 at 12:54 am
This is an answer to rakesh. Wht sense does it make in blocking sms. People will still use the calling feature to spread rumors instead. The ban step taken clearly shows tht government is not in a state to control the situation. On the other hand the telecom industry will earn in mllions in this 15 days as people use sms to save their cost and if sms are banned people will have to forcefully use the calling feature.
Naveed August 19, 2012 at 12:35 am
they should have stopped the train services to Assam instead of banning the sms if they actually wanted to stop people frm migration.
Amit Kumar August 19, 2012 at 12:15 am
There is no dearth of nerds in our country who think that whatever the govt is doing, it is in the interest of the country. Anyway, it seems that the decision to ban bulk SMSes was taken in a hurry. Home Secy has said that the hate SMSs which set panic among NE ppl were actually sourced from Pakistan ( and we are still looking for aman ki asha (sic) with pakistan. In my opinion drop a nuclear bomb on pakistan and we will have aman forever in our country). And here in our country some opportunistic ppl ( including media personalities ) wanted govt to ban social networking sites. Jai Ho
jitendra August 19, 2012 at 12:10 am
I received sms from MTNL Mumbai that Your Outgoing sms quota for today has exceeded limit of 5. As per TRAI guidelines your O/G sms is blocked for a day. O/G sms will be activated at 00:00hrs. Shame shame stupid TRAI management team. Who stupid idiot thinking that stopping sms will help to stop migrating people. This Ban is completely illegal. They must revise for the same. Kuch bhi decision lete hai yeh TRAI management.
lucky August 19, 2012 at 12:01 am
IT IS A REAL FOOLISHNESS…………..

@Arijit
@ ARIJIT – I think you have caught the (proverbial) bull by its b@#$$S !!
The ban is on 5 SMS/day and not bulk
>> Tata Docomo in Kolkata has limited P2P sms(s) to 5 daily.What’s happening? According to Govt. order only bulk sms(s) should be limited to 5.
ENAUD August 18, 2012 at 11:52 pm
@Esmail
@ ESMAIL – the ban is on SMS and not BULK SMS – all operators are supposed to ban >6 SMS per user. This is for 15 days, wef 18/08/2012.
>> Reliance Mumbai is restricting sending of more than 5 SMS per day and not just bulk SMS in one go. Strict action needs to be taken against misinterpretation of the directive issued by DOT.

hi government of india… nowadays I feel why I am living by your insane activities.. banning sms is the greatest foolishness.. really your activities will be appreciated all over the world.. when lakhs of ppl died some where no one cared to ask.. but when some ppl migrate in fear without guiding them doing some foolish activities.. ppl who are migrating pls realize fellas.. we re yur frns….
ramesh August 18, 2012 at 10:38 pm
Sir,
The order clearly indicates to ban bulk sms more than 5, then restriction.should be for.bulk sms.but the implementation is made as only 5 txt msg per day.
The matter need to be relooked and only bulk messages be banned.
swapnil August 18, 2012 at 10:36 pm
is that the right way to get control on this situation…. this also can affect more on communication…. sms is not use only to hurt… we can show care… can be in contact can help or can give support in less cost…. so why this bann on sms…. it gona afect badly not good….
priya ahuja August 18, 2012 at 10:24 pm
ohhh!!!! its tough for me…. without text
5 sms per day,,,, naaaaaaaaaaaa
VENU August 18, 2012 at 10:17 pm
why indaian govt thinks very childishhh like thisss
jit August 18, 2012 at 10:11 pm
Banning sms would not work. and rule is confusing, is it about ban on sending sms to 5 people at one go or sending total 5 sms per day. sending 5 SMS per day is injustice to sms pack users of telecos.
real indian August 18, 2012 at 10:05 pm
Democracy and free market economies vomit poison, it degenerates human intelligence. this issue wouldn’t have mattered even a decade ago but now all the trolls come out and diss the government of india. For heavens sake, it’s a GOI Order. Please show some respect. This attitude mirrors American style democracy. Grow up people, this is India where 385 millions people live below the poverty line and 40 million people cannot afford food twice a day. Life is more than a couple of text messages.
A note to the TT editors: your comments may be moderated, yet,you chose to allow people to post derogatory comments against a GOI Order. You might soon be in the Govt’s radar. Please keep the Internet clean or .
riya August 18, 2012 at 9:27 pm
y so airtel sms is been banned its not good it can bring out other rules and regulation but not with sms … ppl out of state our frndz chat …if u stop this no use .. 15 days is too long .they are many reasons cuming out in india government must improve on that not with these silly things as sms …

@PRITAM SAHA
Sir , go to China border or Assam then say the word Sacrifice. Stopping SMS is not called sacrificing for country. Dude look at people who is not able to get food for two times even a day. Are we doing anything for them for 15 days? no but we are sacrificing not doing SMS. haha…
If possible then recharge my mobile onwards for sms. and do some sacrifice.
Ezin Jass August 18, 2012 at 8:20 pm
So bad!! what is worse is Mobile operators taking advantage of this restrictions.. Dear Mobile Operators, FYI, this restriction is on bulk messages only..
deb August 18, 2012 at 8:08 pm
a bad decision………
try to make your administration more active before banning sms or mms…..
and why only sms or mms ??????? now also restrict voice calling to 5 minutes / day…..

@sanjaybafna
as per the TT post and TRAI circular, we cannot snd bulk sms or more than 5 sms in one shot. But, the operators
Have restricted to JUST 5 SMS PER DAY. I use Tata docomo. Thus, this is a loss only to customers as most of the sms users have activated sms packs. And now we are forced to make voice calls.
Jagannath August 18, 2012 at 5:52 pm
I can’t send more than 5 sms. Today when I wish good morning to my friends, it autometically ‘not send’ and saved in my ‘outbox’. I am a docomo subscriber. Govt. Banned sms but what about facebook and twitter and other social networks??? Is it ok to pass them with this perciality progress? No choice at all. Useless brains working at New Delhi… No sense means they r actually nonsense.
Reyas Mohammed August 18, 2012 at 4:18 pm

SANTOSH KUMAR August 18, 2012 at 1:37 pm
shit!!!I can,t think what Indian govt. wants banning the sms limit to 5 sms….if they really think that it can curb the North East issues ,then they should ban the sms service totally..why to the limit of 5 sms or any else.And also social networking sites.5 sms has (5*160) 800 characters,which can affect the North East issues,not at large but can a little bit……
GOVT OF INDIA should practices another way upon NE ISSUES.

uff! Unable to send more that 5 sms’s from yesterday from uninor. Its too bad:(
Harshad August 18, 2012 at 12:31 pm
Please read the message carefully before hyper ventilating!
It says not more than 5 messages in 1 go! Which means if your handset is equipped to send 10 messages at the same time, only 5 will go at one time. For the other 5, you’ll have to send the message again!

Sukamal Das August 18, 2012 at 12:20 pm
What the hell… Govt has restricted ob bulk messages (more than 5 per day) and yet we r unable to send more than 5 messages per day.. seriously i have 2 no.’s. One Airtel and one Aircel.. sms pack on both.. and yet i was able to send only 10 messages… why so.. government never said to restrict the msg. It said to restrict the bulk messages… Bulk means msg that r send in batches… what is this? r the mobile companies illiterate???
ratnesh August 18, 2012 at 12:15 pm

@Mak D’Uniq
Are u for real ??? FB & Twitter are the rich source of information for the Indians at a time when media is in the business of manufacturing news to suit the needs of the corrupt govt. And this is exactly why now even media houses have started advocating for the ban on social networking sites as these sites expose their propaganda. And u want govt to ban Twitter & FB ??? Do u want ppl voice to be curbed down ???
Rajendra August 18, 2012 at 12:05 pm
5 SMS on one go means 5×140 Charaters at a time? right.. because i have sent many sms from morning no problem occured
ratnesh August 18, 2012 at 12:03 pm
if rumours can be spread by messages then ban the newspapers and media they are the most stunning threats responsible for all.Government is so fast in taking action in banning sms,what bout other serious acts going on????wake up mr Singh.there are many more things to do.
banti August 18, 2012 at 12:03 pm

@Prakhar Mittal
Do You Know What? A Prank Message i.e. Spreading through MMS /SMS / EMAIL / Facebook is Hurted the North East Indians Which Leading to left The Rest part of India to their states
angry indian August 18, 2012 at 11:52 am
Airtel is not allowing more than 5 sms per day!!!! are the airtel guys blind???? the govt has told “no more than 5 sms in one go” cant they bloody read properly…. 5 sms per day is ridiculous!!!!!!!!
amit August 18, 2012 at 11:46 am
in jammu not restrictions r applied we send unlimited sms from our mobile
japanjot August 18, 2012 at 11:36 am
reliance is just allowing 5 sms per day , what d hel is this
if they are really concerned about security of north east people
then they must deploy more police force and go to them and solve their problem.
when ram dev prtests against them, then they send hundreds of police to thrash innocent people,
but now the govt is help less
govt proves that they have strong army and defence from attacks from other countries,,,
but thats all fake they cant even handle people of their own country.
its the govt who seperated north east india from center india.
totalyy shitty govt..
anonymous August 18, 2012 at 11:36 am
IO called Customer Care of Aircel Kerala and unleashed all my anger.
And i said them to read properly what government said.
Aritra Chakraborty August 18, 2012 at 11:34 am
Dis is real bullshit…i mean wht is the use of restricting the sms limit to 5 per day..???Use other ways n methods to curb the North east issue..Dis is one of the stupidiest reasn’s i’ve ever heard!!Really INDIAN GOVT SHOULD GO TO HELL…assholes!!
Prakhar Mittal August 18, 2012 at 11:33 am
Seriusly this is too bad….pvt companies r taking advantage and we r getting pain fr nothing. 5 sms/ day ? r u kidding? what the hell is this, Dot should look into the matter and get some relief for the subscribers
Arijit August 18, 2012 at 11:32 am
Bsnl Kolkata has also limited daily sms(s) to 5!!!
Jeevan August 18, 2012 at 11:26 am
govt decided right time,,,,,,,
Aman Arora August 18, 2012 at 11:26 am
@Megha
I don’t think you gonna get refund for this, Also I don’t think that this ban gonna last for 15days.
Megha August 18, 2012 at 11:21 am
I am a vodafone user n unable to send more than 5 sms/day. Although paying rs.89/month. On calling the customer care he informed that the government has issued a notice that the vodafone users can only send 5sms/day from dated. I kindly request you for giving a confirmation that why is it happening & what am i suppose to do? they r also not refunding the loss that we are going through.
If Government can apply this rule, then he should refund the money back to us..
Thank you
Aman Arora August 18, 2012 at 11:17 am
@srikapardhi
Exactly man, Limit was to be not more than 5 messages in a go but they have done it 5 sms per day. This is fucking bullshit man.
zombie August 18, 2012 at 11:12 am
@Mak D’Uniq
really ? you want thoseo even ban social website ?
—- man .. i still cant believe we common man cant do any damn thing about all this —-!
srikapardhi August 18, 2012 at 11:08 am
Private Operators are taking advantage of the given Statement and limited sms to only 5 /day . Cheap tricks.But the notification says 5 sms at a time in bulk one after the other.BSNL -MTNL Rocks.
Akash August 18, 2012 at 11:07 am
how cum airtel and bsnl allowing?
Srinivas August 18, 2012 at 10:59 am
We are unable to send more than 5 SMS per day. But the statement above says bulk SMS (more than 5 SMS in one go) will not be allowed. Have the telecom companies misunderstood the statement? This is just unacceptable. We are deprived of a communication channel.
Rsi August 18, 2012 at 10:53 am
The ban is on Bulk .. y the hell are p2p sms banned ?
Shadow of the Soul August 18, 2012 at 10:52 am
Govt. never freed & fight from corruption…. so how will it possible that stopping sms service of the subscribers will finalise & stop such spread of rumors by miscreants had led to people belonging to the North East to flee from Hydrabad (Andhra Pradesh) Bangalore (Karnataka), Pune (Maharashtra) and some other parts of the country, amidst threats of retaliatory attacks over Assam violence.
aj August 18, 2012 at 10:44 am
BULLSHIT!! I CAN’T EVEN SEND A SINGLE SMS TODAY …… —– Im frustrated with those —- … They could better restrict the characters or the size of sms for thsometimes to deal with the issue than time
Rahul August 18, 2012 at 10:26 am
What the heck is this .. Y is this p2p sms banned ? not more than 5 sms ? Crap crap
rakesh August 18, 2012 at 10:26 am
@ heming….stop over reacting.u r not going to die due to msgs..if it is a way to prevent the rumours then govt and all telecommunication providers should start blocking immediately..even sites like ways2sms ..should stop there service of bulk messages.
APPUNNI M August 18, 2012 at 10:23 am
actually what government want is to stop spreading the news like wild fire which in turn creates trouble , but now that even those who are not interested in these things are looking into this just because they are denied their right for communication…..which makes them search for reasons and end up in these news…
abhijith August 18, 2012 at 10:20 am
This is India . . . We ill vote they ill loot . . . Jai Italian congress . .
Shahrukh Ahmed August 18, 2012 at 10:04 am
I have NOT sent bulk sms. I was chatting with only 1 friend. Still, they blocked. The whole system sucks…;( I m asking this very question to the adminsitration– Why dont you block the websites which allow to send free SMS…!!
You stupid brainless fellow. Who the hell are you to stop COMMUNICATING…..????
chiranjit panja August 18, 2012 at 10:03 am
doing a 5 sms ban got is proving itself to be a bunch of jokers. They cant do anything sitting in the centre. all they do is to irritate people with their stupid thinkings. I am sorry to say we are govrnd by such uneducated fools.
Heming August 18, 2012 at 10:02 am
This ain’t the right thing.. What yu people ll get of doing such things.. Sms ban should be cancelled.. Youngsters cannot be without msgs.. N der may be some other ways too of stopping these rumours.. I HATE this thing.. Plz do somethin soon bout sms plz
Aaron Karthik August 18, 2012 at 9:59 am

kavilashpanicker August 18, 2012 at 9:38 am
“you can only send 5 sms’s in a day according to dot rules and regulation” this appears on airtel no.
i’m a daily 400 sms user they ever increased my daily limit to 400 from 200 coz i was a frequent user. what about my 1 month 3000 sms pack :’( i’m so screwed
Kenneth R Crasta August 18, 2012 at 9:27 am
This is not 5 SMS at one go in Mumbai, the actual thing over here and causing such a in-convenience is in total five SMS for one day so only 75 messages for 15 days……such a crap decision from the home ministry…….first Blackberry attacks and now SMS…….Sonia and Manmohan need training in how to tackle the root cause…..
Shaunak August 18, 2012 at 9:24 am

ravi August 18, 2012 at 9:24 am
@Agni Biswas

This is shameless act…
jan August 18, 2012 at 9:13 am
Other than airtel & bsnl, no other network allows to send more than 5 sms a days..be it in one go or not..
Tata docomo customers receive this msg..:
“Hi,! You have sent 5 sms today. As per Govt. guidelines, you cant send more person to person outgoing sms todays. Your sms service will be resumed post midnight.”
Achal August 18, 2012 at 8:47 am

mene ek e number pe 5 sms bheje to fir ab kisi b number pe sms ni jaa rha
Tharun George August 18, 2012 at 8:08 am
Because only less than 10% of the population are online, where as 75% of the population have mobile. So rumors spread through mobile fast.
minu August 18, 2012 at 8:05 am
but airtel is not allowing more than 5sms per day
what about that? and i activated my sms plan yesterday only..
vivek August 18, 2012 at 7:56 am

Mak D'Uniq August 17, 2012 at 11:38 pm
Why don’t they ban twitter, facebook?
S I Gandhi August 17, 2012 at 11:19 pm
Honb. Home ministerji.
Take effective steps to stop Genocides in Assam, instead of banning bulk SMS. I am sure your banning step will defiantly effect Congress image.
Arka August 17, 2012 at 11:05 pm
In kolkata, by Uninor, I can able to send 100 sms(approx) today.Do not know,what happen from tomorrow.But,I can not understand the meaning of “In one Go”.
Dear Sanjay da,please explain it,as if many TT readers can not understand it like me.
But,Govt. should also think about calls,as any rumour can spread by ph calls.is not it?
Anirban Das August 17, 2012 at 10:57 pm
@Arijit
Don’t worry I have sent atleast 30 sms today.
Dhiraj Kumar August 17, 2012 at 10:00 pm
It should banned facebook urgently.
Amit Kumar August 17, 2012 at 7:57 pm
@Asit Paul
Yes my dear friend, govt has asked securities agencies to keep an eye on social networking sites and if KS has his say, social networking sites would be banned in India.
raj August 17, 2012 at 7:22 pm

akhilesh August 17, 2012 at 7:18 pm
“5 SMS In One Go” mean
u can send msg
max 5 user in one attempt
for more sms send u need to do it again n again
so now u need to spend so much time for sending bulk sms
Krishna August 17, 2012 at 7:02 pm
One week ago i want port in 4m airtel to idea but airtel is delaying that port out request by 3 days……
why so…….
dirty politics in telecom also……………..
Krishna August 17, 2012 at 7:00 pm
Waste move why these guys are always targeting SMSes
If possible concentrate on tariff hikes network quality etc…
They dont have that much brave to ask operators to do that……..
corruption india……….. rocks shame 2 indians…………
ARJUN CHANDRASHEKAR August 17, 2012 at 5:35 pm
A Good Move By Central Govt. Are North East Peoples are our Peoples? Why We want to hurt them?
Arijit August 17, 2012 at 5:30 pm
Guys what about the other operators in Kolkata? Have they also limited daily p2p sms(s) to 5? Please comment
arindam August 17, 2012 at 5:22 pm
Today in my airtel, i can send messages like other days but docomo is not allowing more than 5sms/day.
what do you mean by “in one go”..?
TCP August 17, 2012 at 5:20 pm
On one hand we have amazing North East Indians like Mary Kom winning us Olympic medals and on the other we inflict violence on the rest… Disgraceful!
Arijit August 17, 2012 at 5:20 pm
Tata Docomo in Kolkata has limited P2P sms(s) to 5 daily.What’s happening? According to Govt. order only bulk sms(s) should be limited to 5.Why did Tata Docomo impose a limit on p2p sms(s)?
Riju August 17, 2012 at 4:47 pm
no problem i can send more than 15 sms in one go…
Esmail August 17, 2012 at 4:38 pm
In the age of Whatsapp and Twitter who even cares about primitive SMS anymore?
Asit Paul August 17, 2012 at 4:36 pm
Good Move by Govt. But will they ban Facebook and Twitter too?
nithya August 17, 2012 at 4:31 pm
I think, one go means “at a time”….
So we have to select 5 people groups to send messages…:)
Sougata Das August 17, 2012 at 4:30 pm
Please explain clearly… 5 sms in a single day / same sms to 5 ppl / anyother permutation or combination
Manish August 17, 2012 at 4:10 pm
What does “one go” mean? Is it that same sms can’t be sent to more than 5 ppl or only 5 SMS in an hour or something?
Abc August 17, 2012 at 4:08 pm
Good move. There will be less Spam for 15 days.
Feel sorry for North East Indians who are also Indians. Sad that all this has been happening after 65 years of Independence. We need independence from politicians, killing of the girl child, scams, religious extremists, double standards, false propaganda, corruption and our egos too.
