No more pesky calls, SMSes from Sept 27: TRAI

From the last week of September, mobile phone and landline users registered with the National Customer Preference Registry - a modified version of what was earlier called Do Not Call Registry - will be free from these phone calls and text messages.

Trai had announced the new rules last year under which telemarketers, who call customers registered with Do Not Call, would face fines of 75,000 for the first violation and up to 2.5 lakh for the sixth offence, following which they would be blacklisted for two years. However, this has not been implemented yet.

A common and easily identifiable number series for calls and SMSes emanating from telemarketers wasn't available, which initially delayed implementation.

Language Service on Mobile Phones

IMImobile has come up with a new application called the MY SMS, which will provide the Value Added Service (VAS) operators an access to the customers in their native language.

It is through the use of this service that customers can demand for SMS alerts in the language they prefer. The access to any information in the language demanded is not dependent on the mobile phone that one possesses.
The application can be easily downloaded in the phone. The customers using Symbian or J2Me featured cellphones just need to dial 56263 and the settings of the application will be received on the phone. The application does not support the operating systems like Android and many others.
