15 Yuan monthly Internet access, unlimited traffic, unlimited duration, free roaming, no roaming charges, such a phone card, you can not heart? nowadays, this kind of special tariff card online or small communications shop sales super popular, ultra low tariff attract a lot of consumer purchase.
In fact, these special tariff card not only to operators of many network load, more likely to stand aside so that consumers fall into the trap of consumption, to the detriment of the interests of consumers.
Special tariff card skyrocketing
After the opening of the 3 g times, wireless Internet access to many new human life, how to choose the most affordable 3 g wireless Internet packages becomes one of the most interest to users.
Recently, some 3G Internet tariff card on Taobao is sold, subject to many consumers.
Journalists in Taobao search "Internet tariff card", a total of nearly 6000 parts search related baby, these Internet tariff card price, most expensive Internet tariff card price reached $ 3240.
Beijing Mobile last year launched a random row A package, the Internet does not limit, no limit on the flow, the package price of $ 560, can be used continuously for 7 months. Mobile customer service staff represents Beijing free line packages now out of stock, now this package in Taobao price is $ 900 million.
However, the tariff card price increase is not fantastic.
Certain operators launched 15 Yuan monthly unlimited traffic card mobile phone sales in Taobao Internet card is fiery, although the card type for the Internet access point restrictions for wap, but after the individual player of computer debugging method, the special tariff card becomes 15 Yuan monthly unlimited 3 g Internet access card. At present the number of cards in Taobao price is up to 1200 Yuan a, more sellers asking prices of $ 5000, the value is already know turned over several times.
These special tariff card can multiply, the main reason is that their preferential margins are very tempting.
At present, the market circulation of special tariff card for China Telecom package hour card, China Mobile's Nanjing China row 20 Yuan monthly card of Liaoning, China Unicom's 20 Pack 120 hour card, Zhejiang students set canka, etc. And now available on the mobile phone card package costs compared to these tariff card charges is quite low.
But because this kind of special tariff card typically local operators in the local business marketing and promotional activities, generally the time relatively short, only a relatively small number of users can enjoy the discount.
These special tariff card becomes a rare commodity is not surprising.
Ultra low tariff of consumption trap
Although the special tariff card tariff equivalent concessions, but using ultra low tariff card users also have to bear a lot of risk.
According to reports, a student on Taobao bought by 119 $ package 6G 3 g special tariff card suddenly not available when the user queries the number card related business record is found, the number of cards has been in business for a card registration service supplement den, switching the user has been.
Previously known as "mobile" super cow cards also have the same problem.
The $ 60 monthly subscription for unlimited play "super cow card" is the Guangxi Mobile for special groups of packages. Such tariff card generally only in the internal circulation, if the card number has been registered users, so consumers once purchased this kind of "super cow cards", it could also face registration a user is stealthily substituting risks.
Moreover, the market, many "special tariff card" is not a communications provider of formal card, which is the actual internal test card Communications Corporation, the test card generally have age limits, the use of a period of time will be quit.
Prior to this there is a claim that Internet consumers to purchase "a penny a minute" and "most cattle tariff card" and use a few days after discovery, "a penny a minute" into "dime a minute", finally learned that these "most cattle tariff card" just "pre-staged card packages", agents are used in online sales, profiteering at high prices.
In addition, according to fly like the network reported that part of Beijing China row and Nanjing PPS monthly to reflect that the user of such SIM card into the network card, at peak speeds of up to 100KB/s, but since recent time in the same location of speed but reduced to 60KB/s.
There are other users that use this card in the original can be entered in the 3 g network, but now you can only use the EDGE network.
In recent years, on phone packages tariff consumer disputes is rising trend, ultra low tariff of special tariff card has become the new focus of complaints.
Promote rational consumer protection user rights
Some consumers believe that carriers tariff packages exist many misleading or traps, carrier is the instigator of the trap, and market those fabulous meal tariff is actually borrowed some competition in the market enterprise strategy and management skills.
In fact, the carriers also have suffering.
Premium card is spread in the market, first as the agents of the carrier for drilling and self-doubt.
In order to profiteering, some agents will carriers not external pre-packaged Passport shoddy, publicity into premium card; some agents will be carriers of the preferential tariff short-term promotions package hoarding, to the high prices offered on the market.
In addition, some operators staff are also a number of black-box operation, in collusion with the agent, open some fake ID registration phone card, while these special tariff card becomes their profiteering of special channels.
Moreover, some operators to seize the market, even at the cost of change to performance, to bring to market a super low price of tariff packages, thereby robbing customers.
In fact, ultra low tariff packages not only failed to protect the basic rights of the user, the operator also harm but no good.
A well-known telecommunications experts said the monthly-mobile data card for operators "catastrophic". Monthly card to the base station carrying enormous pressure, and on the user's Internet connection speed.
Recently, the three operations are already on the special tariff card introduced speed limiting means, and in
Some regions have begun to implement. If restricted data interface, transfer rate limits and other measures. For now on the market continue to circulate special tariff card, some operators try to compensate the telephone as a means of encouraging users to give up the meal.
As far as I understand it, because the domestic carriers of the data flow of a business shall not be restricted to particular areas of roaming tariff card has been mobile sales to the country.
If by force the means to control the use of special tariff card, slightly careless, would prejudice the interests of the user. Therefore, in the current phase, only gradually establish and perfect the market price mechanism and efficient and equitable Telecom tariff regulation mechanism. In this also reminds consumers to buy phone card must through formal channels, not just for the sake of cheap and deceived.
