All sms services are now categorized into either of the two categories: promotional, non-promotional.
Also the free, web-based, bulk sms sites are required to disable sms between 9pm-9am.
My opinion is somewhat different:
1- If TRAI can categorize and act on bulk-sms providers, why to limit outgoing sms on individuals? Most crap promo-sms are sent via those bulk sms'ing platforms and NOT via personal connections.
2- If personal numbers are being used for promo-SMS, there should be a way to report it to TRAI and it should be redirected to the respective service-provider. The service provider already has a record of it and can ban that number.
What do ya think, mobizens of India?
