Happy New Year 2011

Prepaid SMS Credits recalculated as per new TRAI regulations

Dear Valued Customer,

 As per our previous communication, you may be aware that on the evening of October 25 TRAI released a new regulation concerning sending of promotional messages. In TRAI’s on-going efforts to significantly curtail promotional SMS, they have announced that all such messages will be subject to a 5 paise+Tax fee per message. A copy of the regulation can be accessed in the link provided below

http://www.trai.gov.in/WriteReadData/trai/upload/Regulations/108/TCCCPR_Amendment_25.10.2011.pdf

We have subsequently been informed by all of our operator partners that this charge will be effective October 25.

Consequently, for our customers who are on prepaid basis and sending promotional messages the existing price has been increased by 5P and accordingly their available sms credit is reworked.

Please take a note of the same and let us know in case of any queries.

TRAI UPDATE

Updated: India’s SMS Spam Regulations To Be Applicable On 27th September 2011

Updated below: This just in: the SMS Spam regulations for India will be applicable on the 27th of September 2011, according to a notice from the Telecom Regulator TRAI. This follows an earlier statement from Telecom minister Kapil Sibal last month, that SMS Spam – rather, the incessant unsolicited ‘mobile marketing’ via Bulk SMS providers – will end within six weeks. Looks like he intends to keep his word, though the regulations have been postponed on a number of occasions in the past (see below).
Download the new regulations here. We hope that some common ground has been found between the very restrictive regime proposed last year, and the NDNC which has so far failed to protect customers from being bombarded with spam (for example, I’ve got 17 spam messages over the last two days, mostly from LM and DM numbers)
Highlights of the Sixth Ammendment:
- Every Access Provider shall withdraw before the 26th September, 2011 all  telecom resources allocated to  a telemarketer except those telecom resources which have been allocated in accordance with the provisions of the regulations.
- The DoT has provided the ’140’ number series to be allocated to telemarketers for fixed line network. Access Providers have to make relevant provisions in their network before
allocation of resources to telemarketers using ‘140’ numbering series from fixed line network.
- A customer may exercise his option to receive messages for the following preferences: 1- Banking/Insurance/Financial products/credit cards, 2- Real Estate, 3- Education, 4- Health, 5- Consumer goods and automobiles, 6- Communication/Broadcasting/Entertainment/IT, 7-Tourism and Leisure.
- Every Access Provider shall ensure that any commercial communication including SMS, other than transactional messages, is sent to a customer only between 0900 Hrs to 2100 Hrs.
- The Authority has also modified the definition of transactional messages considering the practical aspect of business, and has included banks, insurance companies, securities and other financial institutions as well as DTH operators under the category.
- Public authorities who wish to send SMSs in public interest can be exempted from the regulations.
- For sending the promotional messages, the telemarketers will use an alphanumeric identifier in the format XY-RZZZZZ where X stands for code allotted to Access provider, Y stands for service area, as specified by the Authority from time to time and R being any digit from 0 to 7, where 0 indicate that the SMS is commercial communication and ZZZZZ  indicates five digit unique identification code allotted to telemarketer by the Access Provider. As and when additional preferences are specified by the Authority, the same will be assigned  number 8 onwards for ’R’.”
- No Access Provider shall permit sending of more than one hundred SMS per day per SIM or three thousand SMS per month per SIM.
- The Authority may by direction, from time to time, specify the category of SMS which shall be excluded from the limit of one hundred SMS per day per SIM, provided the customer gives an undertaking to the access provider that he shall not use such telephone number for sending any commercial communications and the provider shall enter, in the listmaintained in the National Telemarketer Register, the telephone number, name and address of such customers.
- A customer can change his preferences in the NCPR after seven days of making any changes. This was previously kept at three months.

With majority of the Indian population still English illiterate and mobile penetration reaching close to 50%, gives a great opportunity for marketers/advertisers to capitalize on this and launch SMS advertising campaigns to reach this huge pool of customers in their local language.

This is where Smsgatewayhub introduction of Unicode SMS (SMS in regional language) will fit into the Marketer’s scheme of things. On 8^th March 2010, mVaayoo launched the feature of sending Bulk SMS in regional language through the existing SMS platform which is being used by 3000+ enterprises in India.

This platform makes it extremely easy for the marketer to launch his SMS promotion campaign in regional language within 5 steps,

1-Login, 2-Enter mobile numbers 3-Choose the language, 4-Type the Message &5-Send

2. Marathi
3. Telugu
4. Tamil
5. Kannada

With the feedback from the customers & looking into the latest market requirements, we will launch even more languages in the future and probably launch some more new features like Voice SMS to reach larger population based in India.
