5G messaging business uses three major operators to create WeChat killer: Netizens and experts are not optimistic

It has been two and a half years since the 5G license was issued. In addition to fast network speeds, there has been a lack of killer applications. 5G news has high hopes. A few days ago, China Telecom officially announced the commercial use of 5G news. It is expected that China Unicom, China Mobile Will follow soon.

What is 5G messaging? It is understood that 5G messages can be implemented on an interface similar to traditional text messages. Information such as phone bills, traffic inquiries, and popular rights and interests can be viewed. At the same time, phone bills can be recharged, business hall reservations can be made, and points can be checked directly.

5G messages will also break the length limit of traditional text messages on each message, and the content will also break through the limitations of text, realizing the effective integration of text, pictures, audio, video, location and other information.

To put it simply, 5G messaging can turn text messages into like WeChat.

The most direct use is that merchants, banks, institutions, etc. can directly provide services. They no longer need to follow a lot of WeChat public accounts and look at a lot of little red dots every day.

5G information was previously considered a WeChat killer. You must know that Tencent used WeChat to kill operators’ SMS and even voice call services. Now the three major operators want to turn 5G information into a “WeChat killer”.

However, 5G news has not been recognized by netizens, and even experts in the telecommunications business are not optimistic. One of the important reasons is that 5G messages are charged -

Personal reception is free, but The charging standard for sending 5G messages is the same as that of text messages. According to current standards, it is almost 10 cents per message. Enterprise users are charged separately according to different message types.

Sina Technology quoted Fu Liang, an independent telecommunications analyst, as saying that the high personal tariffs for 5G messages will limit the development of 5G messages.

Netizens started complaining one after another: "Charging for sending a message? Why don't I use WeChat?", "Short-sighted and charging, 2G thinking in the 5G era."
