Consequences of not paying SMS service fee

The consequences of not paying the SMS service fee are:

1. The bank card may be cancelled. If the bank card balance is zero within three years, the bank may directly change from the sleep state to cancel the bank card, and the customer's original SMS notification fee does not need to be charged again.

2. It may affect personal credit. Failure to pay SMS service fee will not affect credit, but if there is no money in the bank card for a long time, the bank will automatically cancel this service. If you want to use it in the future, you need to make up the unpaid service fee.

In order to avoid the consequences of not paying the SMS service fee, users can take the following measures:

1. Know the terms and conditions of your bank card and SMS service, and make sure you know how the bank handles unpaid SMS service.

2. If users no longer need SMS service, they can contact the bank or cancel the service at the bank's business outlets to avoid the consequences of not paying.

3. If the balance of the user's bank card is insufficient to pay the SMS service fee, it should be recharged or transferred to the account as soon as possible to avoid being charged a late fee or affecting the credit record due to non-payment.

4. Pay attention to the notices and information sent by the bank, so as to keep abreast of relevant notices such as SMS service charge deduction.

To sum up, the consequences of not paying the SMS service fee are related to the specific bank and SMS service type used. Users should know their own terms and conditions, take appropriate measures to avoid the consequences of non-payment, and pay attention to the latest development and service changes of banks.
