Differences between China Mobile and China Unicom

The following is an introduction of several mobile phone cards (not necessarily accurate, please refer to them), and there are many cards that you can go to Unicom or the mobile business hall to see.

For example, Unicom's Four Seasons Card, Volkswagen Card, Campus Card, Ruyi Card, UP New Force, etc. (Too many).

GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications)

As the core brand of China Mobile, GSM is also the brand card with the largest number of users in China. Support most new services developed by China Mobile, such as caller ID, free calling, SMS, IP phone, mobile securities, dual-band network, virtual private network, family number, secretarial service, mobile Internet access, mobile banking, Monternet, etc. In addition, it can roam internationally and domestically. Charging standard: monthly fee for 50 yuan, call 0.4 yuan/1 minute, roaming 0.6 yuan/1 minute, 0. 1 yuan/article inside the network, 0. 15 yuan/article outside the network, and others are charged according to the standards stipulated by the mobile company. At present, GSM number segments are 139, 138, 137, 136 and 135.

Easyown

The launch of Shenzhouxing broke the traditional mobile payment mode and took the lead in realizing zero monthly rent. In the form of prepaid cards, users can buy cards to cover their own expenses, which is very suitable for students and low-income classes. However, there are many restrictions on the services they can use. They only support basic caller ID, IP phone, SMS and Monternet, and they can only roam in the mainland of China. The charge of Shenzhouxing is higher than that of GSM. The call fee is 0.6 yuan/1 min, roaming 0.8 yuan/1 min, and the information fee is 0. 15 yuan/piece in the network and 0.2 yuan/piece out of the network. At present, the number segments of China Bank are 136 and 135.

M-Zone

As a new brand promoted by China Mobile, M-Zone mainly faces users who contact through SMS, that is, SMS family. However, with PHS entering the last position-Beijing and Shanghai, under the joint attack of Unicom's promotion, the M-Zone has also started to upgrade. Recently, Beijing Mobile has launched corresponding upgrade packages: Youth Campus, Entertainment Tribe and White Collar Alliance. Other regions, such as Sichuan Mobile, have upgraded their packages.

GSM 130

GSM 130 is the core brand of Unicom in GSM network, and it is also the brand card with the largest number of users. Support all services developed by Unicom, such as Unicom's letter, voice mail, call forwarding, wishful calling, etc. It can roam internationally and domestically. GSM 130 has always been a strong competitor of China Mobile GSM. Because of the care of national policies, most of its tariffs are cheaper than GSM. Unicom's standard charges are: monthly fee of 45 yuan, call fee of 0.36 yuan/1 min, information fee of 0. 1 yuan/item (whether inside or outside the network). GSM 130 has only one paragraph 130.

Ruyi tong

Ruyitong, as a prepaid card of China Unicom, is a brand card to deal with Shenzhouxing. Like mobile Shenzhouxing, Ruyitong also has many restrictions on its functions, and can only support basic functions such as caller ID, IP phone, Unicom letter and SMS. Besides, Ruyitong can only roam in Chinese mainland. Like Shen Yizhou, Ruyitong is also aimed at students and low-income groups. Because there is no monthly fee, his phone bill is 0.54 yuan/1 minute, and the information fee is the same as GSM 130. Ruyitong numbers are 130 and 13 1.

Unicom New Space 133

Unicom New Space 133 is a brand card of China Unicom in CDMA network, and the tariff standard is the same as that of GSM 130 network. The main competitor of Unicom New Space 133 is also mobile GSM, and their services are basically the same, among which the most striking is the contest of wireless Internet access technology (GPRS Vs CDMA 1X). At present, Unicom's new space-time 133 has only one paragraph 133.

Ruyitong 133

As a prepaid brand card on C network, Unicom named it Ruyitong 133, which is in the same strain as Ruyitong on G network. Ruyitong 133, Ruyitong and Shenzhouxing are all prepaid cards, but they all have obvious advantages over the latter in handling fees and services. First of all, Ruyitong 133 distinguishes between the dialing fee and the answering fee, and the answering fee is only 1/3, and the dialing fee is also charged according to busy hours and idle hours, and the information fee is also treated equally, whether it is in or out of the network. In terms of services used, Yitong 133 not only supports services such as call forwarding and incoming call firewall, but also supports CDMA 1X services, which makes CDMA 1X put down the "noble identity" like GPRS and gradually enter the side of low-consumption users. Ruyitong section 133 is also 133. (At present, Ruyi Tong 133 brand cards are only sold in Beijing, Guangdong, Heilongjiang, Chongqing, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Shanxi and Hunan, and will be promoted and distributed nationwide in the future. )

As we all know, on the GSM network (G network for short), the strength of China Unicom is not as good as that of China Mobile, so China Unicom has set its development goal on the CDMA network (C network for short). China Unicom has indicated that it will not build G network in the future, and will eventually transfer all users of G network to C network. After several years of construction, the C network has begun to take shape, but the signal is still not as good as the mobile G network, so many users are unwilling to accept CDMA mobile phones. In order to promote CDMA mobile phones, China Unicom spent 2 billion yuan to promote mobile phones and made many concessions on tariffs. If you are sensitive to the tariff because of the low quality of the network, or want to access the Internet wirelessly faster, I suggest you choose a CDMA mobile phone here.

Tips: signing card and prepaid card? Among these brand cards, according to the payment form, they can be divided into signing cards and prepaid cards. The signing card needs to provide the user's identity information (I can only apply for the mobile phone card where the ID card is located), and the prepaid card does not need to provide any user information, which is suitable for users who travel and study in other places for a long time. In addition, mobile phone cards with monthly fees can use more services, while prepaid cards can use different services. For example, Ruyitong in Beijing can only use basic IP phones, caller ID, Monternet and SMS, while Ruyitong in Shanghai can use more services, such as applying for WAP Internet access. In addition to Beijing and Shanghai, there are two kinds of Shenzhouxing and Ruyitong in other regions, one is Shenzhouxing and Ruyitong in the whole country, and the other is Shenzhouxing and Ruyitong in the local area. The former charges according to the standard, while the latter charges according to the local standard. Please consult the local customer service center when purchasing.

After talking about brand cards for a long time, I will talk about the services that mobile phone cards can use, so that everyone can have an understanding of these services and use them according to their own needs (note: please consult the local customer service center for related expenses).

On demand information

At present, China Mobile and China Unicom have developed their own information subscription services, namely Monternet of China Mobile and Unicom of China Unicom.

Monternet: Monternet is a national unified brand of mobile Internet service launched by China Mobile. He realized the two-way communication function from Internet to mobile phone and from mobile phone to Internet based on SMS. To use Monternet, you need to meet the following three conditions: 1. The mobile phone supports Chinese short message function; 2. Downloading some services such as music and pictures requires mobile phone support; 3. Send SMS to set the number of SMS center. Monternet's tariff is divided into communication fee and information service fee. The former is the basic cost of sending information, which is charged according to the regulations of each brand card. Information service fee is the cost of subscribing to relevant information, such as the monthly fee for subscribing to monthly news. At present, Monternet can mainly provide SMS service, MMS service, treasure chest service, WAP service and PDA service to be opened soon.

China Unicom in Letter: China Unicom in Letter is a national unified brand of mobile internet service launched by China Unicom. Like Monternet, it has the same nature and needs the same conditions, but the tariff is different. Usually, the cost of Unicom is a little cheaper than Monternet. At present, China Unicom can provide online short messages, information customization, personal information management, entertainment information and e-mail services. In addition, Unicom CDMA also launched the color e service, and interested friends can consult the local customer service center.

Call forwarding, call barring, and call waiting and holding.

Call forwarding: Call forwarding can forward the incoming call to the user's preset phone number, global call, voice mail or mobile secretary according to the setting conditions in the mobile phone, so that the user will not miss the incoming call. There are four types of call forwarding: unreachable call forwarding, busy call forwarding, missed call forwarding and unconditional call forwarding. You can set up call forwarding as needed. The current call charge is 0.2 yuan per minute.

Call barring: call barring can provide users with a variety of call barring. According to the user's settings, the service will automatically limit or reject the dialed number or incoming number, or limit the incoming and outgoing calls of the mobile phone. At present, most of this business is open to customers who have applied for "international long distance" business.

Call waiting and holding: the author explains it to you through examples. For example, A is talking to B. When A receives a call from C, A can hang up the phone with B and talk to C instead. In fact, this service allows the owner to talk to two people at the same time, and the tariff is also charged according to two independent talk times.

General packet radio service

China Mobile mainly accesses the Internet through dial-up and GPRS. The former only needs the mobile phone to support wap function, but the speed is slow, only 9.6kbps, and the mobile phone can't make calls while surfing the Internet. The latter is a 2.5G mobile communication technology introduced by mobile company, which is called General Packet Radio Service in Chinese. Compared with dial-up, it is faster, the theoretical maximum data transmission rate can reach 17 1.2kps, while the current actual speed can reach 40kbps；; Flow billing, GPRS is completely different from dial-up internet billing. It charges according to the traffic generated by surfing the Internet (the amount of data uploaded and downloaded), and there is no charge for no traffic, so even if you hold your mobile phone in a daze, it will not generate any fees; Always on-line, free to switch between the phone and the Internet. At present, mobile needs GPRS technology to develop new services, such as email, QQ chat, MMS, JAVA download and online stock trading.

China Unicom also supports dial-up Internet access, but mainly recommends CDMA 1X Internet access. CDMA 1X also belongs to 2.5G mobile communication technology, and its service brand is called Pocket Broadband. Its theoretical access rate is 153.6Kbps, and its average rate is 80Kbps (Unicom data). CDMA 1X and GPRS are wireless Internet access technologies, but they are based on different network standards. In the 2.5G era, China Unicom will use CDMA 1X against mobile GPRS.

China Mobile: voice mail, mobile phone secretary, global call; China Unicom: Ruyi Tiger

Voice mail, mobile phone secretary, and global calls are all designed to prevent users from missing calls when they can't answer or can't answer. However, these three services are different in essence: voicemail is actually a message space rented by users. When the user can't answer the phone, such as when the phone is turned off, the phone will automatically go to voice mail and ask the caller to leave a message. After the mobile phone is turned on, the user will receive a short message from the mailbox, and then he can log in to the voice mail to listen to the message. The mobile secretary will have the function of a Chinese pager on the user's mobile phone. When the user can't answer the phone, the phone will be automatically transferred to the company's manual desk, and the staff will send the caller's information to the user in the form of SMS. GSM is the latest service developed by China Mobile. It can turn users' mobile phones into digital pagers. When they can't answer the phone, the phone will remind the caller that the number has been sent to the owner by SMS, and then the user will receive a short message forwarded by GSM call, which will inform the user of the phone number and call time.

These three services are convenient for users, so that they will not miss important calls, but they are suitable for different people. I suggest that users who have important calls use voice mail, so that they won't miss important things because they can't receive information. Users with more daily calls can use the mobile secretary; For users who talk less, it is recommended to use GSM, because the first two services are charged on a monthly basis, and GSM does not have any monthly rent. He charges 0. 1 yuan at a time according to the number of messages sent. If the other party keeps calling, I'm afraid the user's monthly fee will be horribly high. In addition, these three services need to be combined with call forwarding.

Ruyi calls have the same functions as voice mail, mobile phone secretary and global call service.

Mobile banking and mobile securities

Mobile banking allows users to manage bank accounts on their mobile phones and enjoy financial services such as bank transfer, payment, securities trading and foreign exchange trading. It should be noted that the account banks of mobile banking services vary from place to place, and in addition, the days when banks provide mobile banking services are different. Please refer to the relevant instructions of your local bank for details. Mobile phone securities business allows the majority of stock users to trade and buy directly through mobile phones. Compared with the traditional stock trading method, mobile phone trading can be conducted at the fastest speed, which guarantees the interests of shareholders to the greatest extent. This business can not only carry out trading and buying and selling, but also carry out trading entrustment, market inquiry, price prompt, relevant information and so on. In addition, users can also subscribe to stock news, stock announcements and other short message services, which is more convenient for investors.

Mobile banking and securities business are mainly for enterprise users and investors. These two businesses mainly carry out account trading and stock trading in the form of SMS, so they only charge SMS fees and need the support of STK card. Please consult the local customer service center for specific services provided by these two businesses.

IP phone

At present, all brand cards support this service, and users can make ip calls directly on their mobile phones. The usage method is: China Mobile 1795 1+ international/domestic long-distance prefix+international/domestic long-distance area code+user's telephone number; China Unicom 179 1 1+ international/domestic long-distance prefix+international/domestic long-distance area code+user's telephone number.

The tariff is in accordance with the local company's IP telephone tariff standards and preferential measures.

E-mail and fax

Mobile phones can not only make phone calls and send and receive short messages, but also send and receive emails and faxes. Sending and receiving emails first needs the support of mobile phones. Nowadays, many mobile phones, such as Motorola T720 and Ericsson T68, have built-in email sending and receiving functions. Users can send and receive emails online through wap, gprs or CDMA 1X, while mobile phone fax needs the support of related software.

Community broadcasting

Community broadcasting means that communication companies send all kinds of real-time and dynamic classified information to mobile phone users by region and channel, so that users' mobile phones can receive their interested channel content at any time like radios, so that users can fully feel the fun of wireless communication. This service does not need to apply, it can be opened by setting it in the mobile phone. Mobile phone users can set channels to receive the information they are interested in, and at the same time, they can receive the information content of multiple channels. Please consult the local customer service center and mobile phone manual for the specific channel number and setting method. In addition, the service is currently only available in some cities, such as Chengdu, Sichuan.

In addition to these national brand cards I introduced, there are also local brand cards all over the country, with different tariffs and available services. When choosing, you must choose the mobile phone card that suits you. Finally, let me talk about how to choose a brand card that suits you:

1. Only use the basic call function: the purpose of this kind of users is to make a phone call, and the requirement is good signal quality, so GSM and Shenzhouxing of mobile companies are the best choices. GSM is suitable for middle and high-end consumers, most of them are not very sensitive to telephone charges, and other services of GSM can also be used; Shenzhouxing is suitable for low-consumption class. Without 50 yuan's monthly fee, their "burden" has been reduced a lot.

2. SMS family: With the popularity of SMS, there are a group of mobile phone users who communicate exclusively through SMS in China. We call them short message family, and most of them are students. These users have more requirements, and the signal quality must be good. Imagine what a terrible thing it would be if the sender could not receive the information in time. In addition, they can also use other services, such as GPRS, which is still very attractive to energetic young people. So the mobile company's M-Zone is the best choice. It is a brand card that is completely aimed at the short message family. It has a monthly package, and the excess is charged according to GSM tariff. It can also use GPRS service, and it uses prepaid method to let users control their own expenses.

3. Monthly card rental: The competition is fierce, and China Unicom is inferior to its rivals in terms of signal quality. It can only "retain" users through disguised price reduction and monthly subscription. If most of them are used locally and don't roam frequently, you can choose this kind of affordable monthly card, but you should also understand the truth of "getting what you pay for".

4. Wireless Internet access: GPRS and CDMA 1X are available for you to choose from. Here, I suggest that you still choose GPRS, because users can surf the Internet with unlimited monthly traffic for only 500M yuan, while the cost of CDMA 1X is different (the highest cost in Beijing is free package 1KB 0.04 yuan, premium package and top package 1KB 0.02 yuan).
