One piaster every body
I guess this is a good reason to start my blog again ...
Yea, that's the new way of sucking our money! The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (wezaret tantheem qe6a3 el e6esala6?) is now taking one piaster for each SMS delivary report you recieve, so go on and disable those! You don't need an SMS delivary report, believe me it will get there!
UPDATE: (source Jordan times) , hooray :D , anyway it still sux ! like, if it didn't violate that law, it would have been there , and no body would reject! Cheers.
Mobile phone operators to stops charging 10 fils per SMS delivery report
AMMAN (Petra) - Mobile phone operators announced on Thursday that they will stop charging subscribers 10 fils per SMS delivery report as of Sunday. The decision was announced during a meeting yesterday headed by Minister of Industry and Trade Amer Hadidi and attended by Telecommunications Regulatory Commission Chief Commissioner Ahmad Hiyasat and representatives of the Kingdom’s four mobile operators. The decision stipulates that each operator should individually decide how to address the issue in the future in accordance with the competition and telecommunications laws. The fee considered a violation of the competition law, according ministry’s competition directorate.

Kind of pathetic they were charging for such service. Here in Egypt Vodaphone charged for checking your credit before, then they gave up finally and made it semi-free (the bastards still charge you).
Greedy big companies...

i was under the impression that most ppl in Jordan use sms because its so cheap.
Here messages are very expensive compared to calls. It's around $0.25 depending on the plan. so, people rarely use it.

wow, that's expensive :S, SMSs can be very useful, for status updates, quick information .. i dunno, where do you live ?
I believe there are many services that provide free SMS in the US.
