Free unlimited traffic? Operators have come up with new routines. How much did you believe?

With the rapid development of economic level and mobile Internet technology, the popularity of smart phones is also increasing.

According to public data, as of 202 1 and 12, the total number of netizens in China has reached/kloc-0.03 billion, and the internet penetration rate has reached 73%. Most netizens in China surf the Internet through smart phones, and the Internet penetration rate is gradually increasing. The smart phone market in China is gradually saturated.

At the same time, there are still some problems to be solved urgently. The increasingly rampant telecom and online fraud is one of them, and the endless routines of operators make consumers hard to prevent.

The use of smart phones is becoming more and more popular, and the requirements for mobile networks are naturally higher. But the fact is, not all places have WiFi. If you want to surf the Internet anytime, anywhere, you can only buy a traffic package. Generally speaking, the price of a package is often directly related to the traffic. If you want more traffic, you must buy a more expensive package, which is not a small sum in the long run.

Considering the demand of consumers for traffic, operators naturally launched a package that looks very cost-effective. Consumers have bought, thinking that they have caught the big wool, but the result is "caught the way." This is the "unlimited traffic" package favored by major operators, also known as the "free traffic" package.

In fact, the so-called free traffic package also has many "hidden rules". Operators keep saying that unlimited traffic can be used casually, but what they don't tell consumers is that if the limited traffic is exceeded, the network speed will slow down and return to the 3G or even 2G era.

Some people may not care, thinking that as long as they can get online, it doesn't matter if the internet speed is slower, but it saves money anyway.

However, when the internet speed is so slow that the video doesn't respond for half an hour, and even the WeChat message can't be sent out, can it really be handled indifferently?

The answer is obviously no. In this case, if you want to restore the smooth network speed in the past, you can only buy a flow refueling package or handle other businesses. In this way, instead of saving money, you spend more, and the purpose of the operator is achieved.

When it comes to 5G, many people have a little knowledge, but they can't resist hundreds of calls from operators and the sweet voice of customer service girls. They muddled through the 5G package, and some people even changed their 5G mobile phones and calling cards specially, just to enjoy the speed brought by technology.

But in fact, as long as the user's mobile phone supports the 5G network, they can use the 5G service, which has nothing to do with the so-called 5G package and does not need to pay.

In daily life, in order to attract customers to handle 5G packages, major operators will launch free services in the first month. This package is really free in the first month. Even in the second month, the monthly rent is only a dozen dollars, which looks like a good deal, but it is actually full.

Take this set meal as an example. Rent 25 yuan monthly, the first month is free. Coupled with the flow of 240G, it seems that there is no return. Only after reading it bit by bit can we find the hidden tricks.

First of all, there is no monthly flow of 240G, but the annual flow adds up to a ***240G, which is only 20G after being divided equally every month.

What's more, the 20G traffic divided equally every month is not general traffic, but the directional traffic of some video apps that cooperate with operators. In other words, the traffic consumed by the software you use every day, such as WeChat and Taobao, is not included and needs to be charged separately.

Secondly, when you finally find this problem and want to cancel the cancellation package, the staff in the business hall will say that you can't cancel the account during the same period.

If it is necessary to sell the account within the contract period, the user shall pay a penalty of 1200 yuan. Some people will say that I don't use it or charge. I just need to cancel my account as soon as it expires. I can only say that "the Tao is a foot high and the magic is a foot high." Even if you don't use it, you still have to deduct the fixed monthly fee. When the account is finally closed, it is still necessary to make up all the arrears.

In addition to all kinds of fancy package routines, there is another one that we often encounter in our daily life, that is, the difference between offline physical business halls.

Generally speaking, the operator's business hall is divided into its own hall with its own channels and the outsourcing hall from social channels. Simply put, the operator's own business hall is his own hall. In contrast, the business hall established in the form of joining is the outsourcing hall.

The private hall is well understood, that is, the business hall set up by the operator in a certain place; The outsourcing hall is more difficult to distinguish. While accepting the business of operators, the general outsourcing office will also operate other businesses, such as selling electronic equipment such as mobile phones and computers.

They paid the deposit, thus obtaining the franchise. After a period of training, they can officially start business as a branch of the operator.

But in reality, some digital communication stores are large in scale and look exactly like their own business halls, which will make many consumers mistakenly think that this outsourcing hall is the official business hall of operators.

The problem is that the profit models of private offices and outsourcing offices are very different. The standard for employees in private offices to earn commissions is mainly business volume, while outsourcing offices mainly earn commissions by handling related businesses.

The commission of different businesses is naturally different, so for the staff of outsourcing office, the business with higher commission will be recommended first.

In order to get high commission, staff often try their best to persuade consumers to handle business, which is largely unnecessary for consumers and will only increase their expenses in vain. Therefore, when handling business, try to choose the operator's own hall instead of the outsourcing hall.

The network world is complicated, and there are many traps on the way to the network world, which makes us hard to prevent. Therefore, in daily life, we must keep our eyes open, consider our real needs, thoroughly study the package recommended by the staff, weigh the pros and cons comprehensively and carefully, and then make a choice.

Finally, remember that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Don't always try to take advantage. In the end, you will pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon. You know, not being greedy for petty gains can not only prevent operators' routines, but also play a certain role in telecom fraud. So, have you done these routines for operators?
