    Its not just free SMS, they have totally locked the option of sending SMS itself. We can’t send SMS even from main balance. This is so cruel, we are forced to buy high cost packs routinely. Time to change the network.

    Yes you can charge for SMS but you should notdtop it. I had trouble sending SMS today and later found that they have stopped SMS without giving any notice to customers This is highly irresponsible behaviour
