dear, TRAI, if u take away sms n give limited sms 100/day then give us 1paise/10mins for one month at Rs.35 for all telecom company. aircel, voda, idea, airtel, etc etc….. that way its more economical, n ya instead of banding us all from unlimited sms, y cant u band the telemarket sms, insated of troubling the public….
wat r the government thinking?, instead of eradicating poverty, they are causing more poverty, what an idea, we call dis a democratic country? look at the poor family who cant afford to call to their far off family, sons n daughter, n there are many people who cant afford to call everyday, so they use sms as a means of communications cuz its cheaper n economical, n now look wat u ve done, more poverty wat n idea….
if 100sms/day then give the citizens 1paise/10minutes or give us 3000msg in a month, dats equivalent to 30days X 100msg/day =3000 msgs in a month….so instead of giving us 100msgs/day. give us unlimited per day,but only 3000 msg in a month……
