TRAI yet to lend ears to hearing-impaired. Another dimension?

TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) has recently put a ceiling on the number of text messages to 100 that can be sent from one SIM. So far, I was thinking this decision will affect small business owners, stock brokers, other online stores like Flipkart, students and youths. But when I read this article, I understood that there is another dimension. http://ibnlive.in.com/news/trai-yet-to-lend-ears-to-hearingimpaired/188982-60-116.html At least for their sake, TRAI shall lend it's ears, than remaining deaf. Personally, I think this is a ridiculous restriction. Actually it is the unwanted calls that annoy everyone, not the text messages. They didn't do anything towards the annoying calls done by the mobile operators themselves. What do you think?

that is for the Deaf people ,or hearing impaired.And they are given a solution also,that if they submit medical certificate they might get some more sms so that they can communicate with others.

Actually, the real deaf is TRAI. They could have made some other alternate, like, furnishing bank security for people who want SMS or like that. Many genuine businessmen would be ready for that. And, this limit has actually affected the young people. I've read in an article that one youth said that his relationship with his love has been put to big threat because he could not text as he would do normally. He said, he would text at least 700 or more messages a day. My God.

i dont say so , TRAI has done a good thing may be it has some other option for such hearing imparired persons,and it has taken a good decision so that the youngsters do not use the sms feature to be a wasting thing,they can keep control on wht they acutally want to send as sms to their friends or important people.

Do u use an y online solutions for this my friend.There is way2sms,160by2 and many free sms services which we can use to send sms,however they allow messages to be sent only from 9 am to 9 pm. and the limit of sms is also not that high,however there is a solution if u have many sims then u can add the number and have different accounts and can manage that ,with ur personal computer being online. sorry to hear the loss your running at present definetly uou will find a solution ,why not consult the customer service people they might have a solution for your problem ,its hard to discuss the topic which we are not really aware of those terms and services of the TRAI.

Welcome back Nitin. It's long time since we communicated. Bureaucrats, sometimes act very rude just because they have power. (They are telling a lame story that someone texted the Finance Minister during a meeting, offering a loan from a bank.) So, it is clear, if the people in the power get annoyed they can do anything. But they don't care about annoying common people. By the way, how many Indians are members in your site, moneyclix.biz? I just want Indian traffic to my site.
