What is mobile data traffic?

“Mobile data traffic” refers to the data traffic generated by surfing the Internet or using related data value-added services through mobile communication technologies such as GPRS, EDGE, TD-SCDMA, HSDPA, etc., excluding other methods such as WLAN and CSD. The traffic generated by surfing the Internet does not include the data traffic reduced by content-based data value-added services (MMS, account manager, full song download, express messages, etc.). Note: The data traffic generated by surfing the Internet through GPRS, EDGE, TD-SCDMA, HSDPA and other mobile communication technologies or using related data value-added services does not include the traffic generated by surfing the Internet through WLAN, CSD and other methods, and does not include content-based billing. The data traffic reduced by the data value-added services (MMS, account manager, full song download, express messages, etc.). Tariff: The standard tariff for domestic mobile data traffic is 0.01 yuan/K, and does not distinguish between CMWAP and CMNET. The standard tariff for mobile data traffic under international and Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao roaming status is: 0.02 yuan/K in Hong Kong and 0.05 yuan/K in other countries or regions. GPRS traffic accounting---it’s a headache!! Don’t you think so?

1. Regarding the rate:

The theoretical transmission rate of GPRS is 171.2Kbps. To put it simply, the amount that can be transmitted per second is more than 20 KB. However, during the use of Xiaocao, the highest download speed was 32Kbps. This speed is almost the same as landline dial-up Internet access, and during the day, the Internet speed is greatly reduced. I believe that many GPRS users have a deep understanding of the meaning of the word "theory".

2. About the price:

The traffic is deducted from the sum of the received and sent data. China Mobile has introduced 4 types of GPRS tariff packages, which are free packages:

p>

No monthly fee, 0.03 yuan per 1KB of traffic (1024 bytes = 512 Chinese characters);

Economic package: 20 yuan monthly fee, you can enjoy 1MB of free traffic per month , the excess amount will be charged at 0.01 yuan/KB;

Fashion Package: The monthly rental fee is 100 yuan, and you can enjoy 20MB of free traffic per month, and the excess amount will be charged at 0.01 yuan/KB;

Business package: monthly fee is 200 yuan, no traffic limit.

The above seems to have a cap of 500 yuan, and does not distinguish between traffic within the province and outside the province.

Every day from 23:00 to 7:00 the next day is the preferential period, and the charged traffic during the preferential period is 50% of the actual traffic.

3. About settlement:

The company issued settlement rules around October 2006:

The home province will settle the settlement to the roaming province 0.001/KB

4. About usage awareness

If you want to download an MP3 song of about 5MB, those who subscribe to the free package will have to pay 150 yuan.

Text: 1kB=1024 bytes (Byte)=512 Chinese characters=7 ordinary text messages (70 characters)

Voice: 0.6kb=1 second 5 seconds=3kb= 9 minutes, 10 sentences, 5 seconds voice = 0.9 yuan

Picture: 20kB = 0.6 yuan

5. About MMS

MMS allows mobile phone users to send text messages between each other Short messages of pictures have special bandwidth requirements because of the large amount of data. It is best to activate GPRS service. The current cost situation is as follows. The sender: 3 cents/message, but no GPRS traffic fee is charged; the receiver only GPRS traffic charges apply. For MMS, both the sender and the receiver have to pay. Based on past SMS experience, spam messages were often received, but in the SMS era, the receiver does not charge. In this case of MMS, the party who receives the spam message also has to pay. Is this reasonable? In addition, the biggest selling point of MMS is that a mobile phone with a digital camera function can take photos and text and send them to friends in a timely manner. Of course, when MMS messages are flying everywhere Sometimes, issues related to portrait rights may be unavoidable in the future.

The free WAP traffic mentioned by China Mobile refers to free use if the network access point you use is: cmwap, but if you use the service with the access point: cmnet, then you have to spend money. So you must be careful when using your mobile phone. You can check it out at the mobile self-service inquiry machine!
