#sms capital of the world

That means you should not get any spammy SMS asking you to download a ringtone or wallpaper, subscribe to some text or call promo, or join an SMS contest (however, if you are already subscribed, you will still get them alerts). The Supreme Court (SC) has officially denied the National Telecommunications Commission's (NTC) petition to lower SMS message rates to PHP 0.80 and refund subscribers. Unfortunately this did not happen, so the NTC released another mandate in 2012 ordering the major telecom players to limit their SMS fees to a maximum of PHP 0.80 per text. The NTC has claimed that the telecoms have not cooperated with the SMS rate reductions as they should have over the years, which means they are obligated to refund the PHP 0.20/text amounts over the years - totalling to a hefty PHP 17+ billion (based on internal calculations) to all subscribers. Well, the SC has finally closed the book on this by claiming a lack of an explicit directive/requirement in the 2011 circular for consumer SMS rate reductions. Mathematically speaking, this reduction only increased revenues for the telcos due to the fact that the PHP 0.20 "discount" failed to make its way to everyday SMS users. The comeback coincides with the launch of the game’s next season, marking the first time in years that Android users worldwide can download Fortnite directly from the Play Store again.
