How to send text messages in Australia?

The tariff standard for mobile phone users to send short messages to foreign mobile phones in China is fixed, such as 1 yuan for China mobile users and 0.8 yuan for China Unicom users. Regardless of specific countries or regions, users do not need to open international long-distance and international roaming functions. Remember to add "+country (region) code" before the other party's number.

The second type: from abroad to China.

If mobile phone users send text messages abroad to China, the charges are varied, ranging from a few cents each, but the most expensive one will not exceed that of 2 yuan. Before going abroad, users should open international long-distance and international roaming functions, and also need to add "+country (region) code" when sending. In terms of receiving short messages, receiving short messages abroad is free, but MMS is not included, because the latter will generate Internet traffic charges.

There are many ways to save money.

Generally speaking, users save money by sending text messages abroad than by calling, but the amount of money saved depends on specific countries or regions.

Sending text messages to China is relatively cheap.

Compared with calling, it is undoubtedly relatively cheap to send text messages back to China. The cheapest is in the United States, where sending text messages to China costs only 0.49 yuan each, while the highest in other countries is 2 yuan.

In some countries, the price advantage of texting is more obvious. For example, in Russia, it costs 25.99 yuan/minute to make a phone call, which is ten times more expensive than the short message fee (see attached table).

Text messages should not exceed 70 words.

Many users want to finish sentences in one breath in order to save the short message fee, which leads to lengthy short messages. According to the operator's regulations, the capacity of a short message does not exceed 70 Chinese characters or 140 characters of digital or English information. If the characters exceed the capacity, the system will automatically truncate them and send them separately.

According to the charging rules, you should collect money according to several pieces when you open it. Therefore, users should use the rule of "70 words for a short message", and there is no need to pay for more than a few words.

Use Fetion to send free short messages.

If users go abroad with their laptops and can surf the Internet locally, they can send short messages to domestic mobile phones through Fetion, which saves a lot of short message fees and only generates the internet fees for laptops. However, if users use Fetion on their mobile phones, it is not cost-effective, and the mobile Internet traffic fee is far more expensive than the SMS fee.

According to the charging rules of some foreign operators, when customers roaming in their network call the calling party, although the other party does not answer after ringing, they will still charge the calling party communication fee because they occupy their network communication channel. Please pay attention to this.

Reminder: there is no charge for the mobile phone to display "sending failed"

There are always users who are worried when sending international short messages: Is it money if they don't receive it? The reporter learned that whether to charge depends on whether it is sent successfully, not whether the other party receives it.

Because international short messages have to transit through many servers, the chances of delay and loss are indeed greater than those of domestic short messages, but these chances are smaller. Chinese short messages may be rejected by foreign short message service centers, but rarely. In addition, due to the time difference, the SMS receiver often shuts down, but the received information will be kept for 48 hours.

There are also users who are worried that if the other party's number is entered incorrectly or the mobile phone display fails to send, will there be any expenses? The answer is no charge. Most mobile phones will prompt "sending failed", and operators will not charge. However, if the phone is turned off, his mobile phone will display "successful sending", and even if the other party may not receive the short message, the short message fee will be charged.
