KUALA LUMPUR: Mobile phone users will no longer receive unsolicited SMSes, said Malaysian Mobile Content Providers Association (MMCP) president Azli Paat.

“It was possible before for content providers to send such SMSes to consumers without them asking for it, but telcos have since installed preventive gateways.

“These gateways prevent unsolicited SMSes from getting through. When consumers receive these SMSes, they should not be charged for it,” he said after attending a prize-giving ceremony for a contest.

He added that if unsolicited SMSes still got through the gateways, the fault lay with the telcos.

The Star reported on Nov 28 last year that consumers were frustrated at being charged for receiving unsolicited SMSes from external content providers.

Consumers complained that their monthly bills had spiked from these charges with each SMS costing between RM2 and RM5.

KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) -- Paridin Satim from Sabah won the 1Malaysia pantun SMS (short message service) competition which was held from March 31 to April 30 this year.

His pantun, which reads "Satu Malaysia Satu Bahasa, Sumber Insan Menjadi Ungkapan, Berbagai Agama Berbilang Bangsa, Rakyat Didahulukan Pencapaian Diutamakan" beat 3,000 other entries in the competition organised by the Malaysian Mobile Content Providers Association.

Paridin, 50, was presented with an iPhone worth almost RM3,000 by Information Communication and Culture deputy secretary-general Datuk Mohd Ali Mohamad Noor.

Mohd Ali said it was the first time the competition was held using the text message format in line with today's technological development.

"The public constantly follow technology, especially the younger generation, so by using SMS we can attract more youths to take part," he added.
