0 WhatsApp Gets Bug and Spammers Make The Most By Spreading Rumors

WhatsApp users on Wednesday were shocked, when they found everyone on their contact lists with their status field listed as “error: status unavailable” and then got a abrupt message from the CEO of the company complaining about how they weren’t making money and you need to forward the message to all your contacts to prove that you are a legitimate user.

Thankfully though there’s little to worry about: WhatsApp remains free to use, the CEO doesn’t hate as you as much as you thought from his message and it was just a spam message that made the rounds as a feature of the messaging service was affected.

However within few hours a message had begun to circulate on the messaging service saying the service was to become paid and that you need to forward the message to stay on the service for free:

“Message from Jim Balsamic (CEO of Whatsapp): we have had an over usage of user names on whatsapp Messenger. We are requesting all users to forward this message to their entire contact list. If you do not forward this message, we will take it as your account is invalid and it will be deleted within the next 48 hours. Please DO NOT ignore this message or whatsapp will no longer recognise your activation. If you wish to re-activate your account after it has been deleted, a charge of 25.00 will be added to your monthly bill.”

And since everyone loves getting/using things for free, the message did the rounds with most people forwarding it to all their contacts. However, while the status message update feature has been restored to normal on some phones it is still displaying the error message on others.

If you still have the error message, you’ll just have to wait for it to be restored to normal.

0 TRAI To Hike Mobile Tariffs Again

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is likely to revise mobile telephone tariffs.

In a meeting with consumer groups today, TRAI Chairman Rahul Khullar said, "It is not 1 paisa or 2 paise (increase) ... but also not 16 paise or 25 paise as projected by operators."

The minimum price of airwaves proposed by TRAI for pan-Indian operations is over Rs 18,000 crore, around 10 times more than the amount paid by old operators.

It has also recommended to fix double of this amount as minimum price for the airwaves that existing telecom operators use to provide wireless services at the time of renewal of their license.

Telecom operators have said that new prices recommended by TRAI will lead to increase in existing tariff by up to 100 per cent.

He assured consumer group lead by Consumer Online Foundation founder Bejon Misra that there are feeble chances of telecom operators increasing tariff.

"Service providers have been scaring government and consumers. Consumers will switch on to other network it they increase tariff and they will lose market share. For 3G everybody paid same price but now they have reduced it (charges)by 70 per cent," Khullar is learnt to have said.

TRAI Chairman has been asked to make presentation before Empowered Group of Ministers meeting tomorrow on the impact of minimum airwaves price recommended by it on tariffs, government revenue and future investment in the sector. Khullar said that the analysis report will be made public after he finishes presentation before EGoM headed by Home Minister P Chidambaram.

The delegation, which also included representative of Consumer Coordination Council and Cell for Consumer Education and Advocacy, asked TRAI chairman that in taking any step, the regulator should ensure that there is no tariff increase.

0 Am I Hurt ?

The Same Thing You Do, 

The Same Tears I Have,
Again I Don't Hear Your Voice 

Or Can't See Your Face,
The Love We Have Some Where Lost, 
All The Things Lost,

My Heart Which Always 

Bleed The Tears I Always Left,
These Also Lost Now.  
Is Some How I Can't Feel Anything 

Or Really I Am Hurt Or Not ?
