Government bans all Bulk SMS / MMS temporarily?

Recommended Posts

This is really too much stupidity. I am not getting payee confirmation SMS from ICICI and I need to transfer money urgently. Always used to get it instantly. But not getting it now even after 5 tries of adding/deleting the payee.

According to http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/telecom/SMS-ban-Telcos-told-to-exempt-banks-airlines/articleshow/6623590.cms banks and airline services have been exempted from this blanket ban..

Edit: Just learn't that the telcos will not comply with this request.

probably they've just been sloppy, discarding all emails from their SMS gateway.

ICICI's sms are still blocked.

OTher services, like ebay are also affected.

[Was trying to register a new account yesterday... it requires SMS verification.]

They blocked even the NetSecure code SMS facility of internet banking! So, I could not do any online transaction for these days. It cost me a good amount of time on the bill payment and railway reservation queues.

How come a government think that banks will send bulk SMSs which are communally inclined? So exasperating!

Government people are incapable of thinking ! Its a big and tiring effort for them unless someone is paying for it. :Contento:

For this govt., bans are the solution to everything. Ban SMS, ban Blackberry, ban privacy, ban everything & no problems. dry.gif

Bank SMS for eg. are a safety measure, to enable fraudulent access/transactions quickly. Will the govt. compensate those who many incur loss this way?

Damn!

no, the Telcos were just being sloppy and banning everything from SMS gateways.

For example, google SMS channels and ebay.

Let's see how it turns out tomorrow.

Should end today midnight

yes. finally. :blink:

The Centre has decided to withdraw the ban on the services of bulk SMSes and MMSes imposed till Monday night as the country has remained peaceful after the verdict on the Ayodhya title suit.

The ban on bulk SMSes and MMSes, to check any propaganda post Ayodhya verdict, was first imposed on September 22 which was later extended till Monday night, official sources said.

The Centre also decided to withdraw paramilitary forces kept in alert in various parts of the country as the country remained peaceful even four days after the Allahabad High Court order.

The 5,200 paramilitary force personnel sent to Uttar Pradesh is being withdrawn phase-wise and some of them are being sent to poll-bound Bihar for deployment in election duties.
