TRAI considers limiting unlimited calls, messaging services

NEW DELHI: In a bid to curb the menace of unsolicited commercial communications (UCC), the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is considering limiting unlimited calls and messaging services.

In a consultation paper, the regulatory body proposed exploring differential tariffs for voice calls and SMS to discourage UCC. It suggests introducing a differential tariff beyond a specified limit for bulk messaging or calls, particularly in the context of people-to-people (P2P) messages or calls.
