xuketo 7 Report post Posted September 25, 2010 probably they've just been sloppy, discarding all emails from their SMS gateway. ICICI's sms are still blocked. OTher services, like ebay are also affected. [Was trying to register a new account yesterday... it requires SMS verification.] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sougatadc 358 Report post Posted October 1, 2010 They blocked even the NetSecure code SMS facility of internet banking! So, I could not do any online transaction for these days. It cost me a good amount of time on the bill payment and railway reservation queues. How come a government think that banks will send bulk SMSs which are communally inclined? So exasperating!

raccoon 53 Report post Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) For this govt., bans are the solution to everything. Ban SMS, ban Blackberry, ban privacy, ban everything & no problems. Bank SMS for eg. are a safety measure, to enable fraudulent access/transactions quickly. Will the govt. compensate those who many incur loss this way?

raccoon 53 Report post Posted October 1, 2010 (edited) Notice put up on fullonsms.com - -- NOTICE -- Fullonsms has stopped delivering SMS temporarily in lieu of Ayodhya verdict, As per Govt of India SMS service may resume by 05th Oct. Note the words "may resume". This is really atrocious! This Govt. is just nuts! Next they will ban individual texing and even voice calls. Just awesome!

srk006 21 Report post Posted October 4, 2010 Should end today midnight yes. finally. The Centre has decided to withdraw the ban on the services of bulk SMSes and MMSes imposed till Monday night as the country has remained peaceful after the verdict on the Ayodhya title suit.The ban on bulk SMSes and MMSes, to check any propaganda post Ayodhya verdict, was first imposed on September 22 which was later extended till Monday night, official sources said. The Centre also decided to withdraw paramilitary forces kept in alert in various parts of the country as the country remained peaceful even four days after the Allahabad High Court order. The 5,200 paramilitary force personnel sent to Uttar Pradesh is being withdrawn phase-wise and some of them are being sent to poll-bound Bihar for deployment in election duties. http://www.financialexpress.com/news/Govt-withdraws-ban-on-bulk-SMS--MMS/692488/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
