Hi! You have sent 5 SMS today. As per Govt. guidelines, you can,t send more outgoing person to person SMS today. Your SMS services will be resumed post Midnight.
From 18-Aug you have observed that you are getting this message while sending more than 5 SMS to a single person. This was the most ever heard rule by the Indian Government (TRAI), This news has been, rounds since July this year but it’s finally confirmed now. From 18th of August 2012 you can’t send more than 5 SMS to a person, and it has been a person to person Restriction Policy.
As of now, many telecom operaters have implemented this and users have already started getting these type of messages, while others yet to go. But on a official note, I was not able to find any formal announcement on TRAI's website.

I know its a very sad news for all who chat through SMS. But this action has bound the telecom providers with a great competition, So soon there will be a way to recover it. Lets hope for the good. Stay in touch for more updates on it.

New updates are, Its not TRAI who did this. This not a new restriction. This is just a temporary thing for 15 days by Govt. of India. The decision was taken after reports of widespread circulation of SMSs and MMSs containing misleading information about Assam violence, threats to people of northeastern origin living in other parts of the country and doctored videos.
The home ministry has asked department of telecommunications to implement the order through the telecom operators.
From Friday onwards, no one will be able to send more than 5 SMSs in one go and more than 20 KB of data through mobile phones during the ban period. This ban period is of 15 days.

Aah! Finally a relief that its not permanent.
Share it. Share knowledge. Share happiness.
