With the popularity of mobile Internet, SMS has become one of the important ways of people's daily communication. However, the cost of SMS has always been the focus of attention. This article will introduce the calculation, discount and change of SMS fee to help you better master SMS fee.

Calculation of SMS cost

The calculation of SMS fee is determined according to the operator's tariff standard. Generally speaking, the short message fee is calculated according to the length and quantity of each short message. Different operators have different tariff standards, but generally there will be a certain number of free short messages, and extra fees will be paid after exceeding the free number.

Taking China Mobile as an example, its SMS tariff standard is as follows:

-Give 100 free text messages every month.

-After exceeding 100, 0. 1 yuan/article.

-Domestic roaming SMS fee is 0. 1 yuan/article.

-International SMS fee 0.5 yuan/article.

It should be noted that when the length of a short message exceeds 70 characters, it will be split into multiple short messages, and each short message will be charged.

SMS fee discount

In order to attract users and improve market competitiveness, major operators have launched various SMS tariff concessions. Common SMS tariff concessions are as follows:

-Free SMS: Operators will give away a certain number of free SMS within a certain period of time, and users can send SMS for free during this period.

-Monthly SMS package: users can choose to purchase monthly SMS package, which generally includes a certain number of free SMS messages and a certain number of preferential SMS messages. Users can use these short messages during the validity period of the package.

-SMS recharge rebate: users can get a certain amount of SMS free quota or rebate after recharging a certain amount.

It should be noted that different preferential activities have different usage rules and validity limits, so users need to read the rules and instructions carefully when choosing preferential activities.

Changes in SMS charges

With the development of mobile Internet and the progress of technology, the cost of SMS is constantly changing. In recent years, some new short message replacement technologies have gradually emerged, such as the short message function of social software such as WeChat and QQ, and Apple's iMessage. The emergence of these new technologies has had a certain impact on the use and cost of traditional short messages.

In addition, in recent years, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom are also launching 5G networks, and the popularity of 5G networks in the future will have a certain impact on SMS tariffs. It is predicted that in the future, the short message fee will continue to decline, and the emergence of new technologies will also have a greater impact on the short message fee.
