As many of you may be aware, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India
(TRAI) recently issued new regulations on the SMS industry in India.
These regulations are designed to significantly curb the sending of
unsolicited commercial SMSes to consumers. Starting from Feb 1st 2011
every SMS service provider has to adhere to the new TRAI NCPR
(National Consumer Preference Register (NCPR)) guidelines. Check

New Policies

According to the New TRAI guidelines, No SMS provider is allowed to
deliver SMSes to NDNC/NCPR listed mobile numbers. So, Starting from
Feb 1st 2011 way2sms does not deliver SMSes to NDNC//NCPR Listed
mobile numbers.
TRAI New guidelines does not allow any service provider to use Numeric

sender. No Longer you can use your mobile number as sender

- Your Mobile number and a 8 letter Nick name will be inserted in your
