The mobile phone services regulating authority, TRAI has increased the per day SMS limit from 100 to 200. This decision has  been taken on the continuously received representations from mobile users as well as service providers both to increase the limit.

Trai had limit the SMS cap to 100-SMSes a day, in-order to stop unwanted and disturbing SMSes from telemarketers, which causes inconvenience to consumers. All this has also restricted those subscribers, who use multiple SIM cards to send text messages without even registering themselves as telemarketers.

However, mobile phone users didn't like this idea as it had restricted them to just 100 text messages only.
