The 5G package, which started at 100 yuan, has been reduced in price about 8 months after its launch.
The Beijing News reporter recently visited the three major operators' Beijing business offices and found that users can now enjoy the original price of 128 yuan 5G packages at a minimum price of 88 yuan, and the discount strength has reached below 30%. However, these discount activities also have a contract period limit ranging from one to two years.
During the visit, the staff of the business hall highly recommended the operator's various preferential purchase activities. Taking China Telecom Orange's installment as an example, if a customer handles a 199-yuan 5G package, Xiaomi's latest 5G mobile phone Redmi 10X with an original price of 1599 yuan can be won with only 159 yuan.
Now, it has been one year since the issuance of 5G commercial licenses, and 8 months have passed since the official commercialization of 5G. In addition to network construction, the introduction of various preferential measures by operators is accelerating the popularity of 5G services. In this regard, experts told reporters that the price of 5G mobile phones has now dropped to below 2,000 yuan. If operators want to make 5G packages mainstream, they may need to lower the threshold for users to use 5G packages.
China Mobile recently revealed that as of the end of May, more than 55 million 5G subscribers have been developed. Coupled with telecommunications and China Unicom, China's 5G package users will reach nearly 100 million.
The Beijing News reporter called Beijing Mobile customer service as an ordinary user and learned that China Mobile's 5G package has fallen below 100 yuan, with a minimum of 88 yuan.
The customer service said that if the user's original package is at 58 yuan or less, it can be discounted by 40 yuan, and the 128 yuan 5G package can be enjoyed at the price of 88 yuan. However, this preferential contract needs to be bound for two years. Another preferential way is that there is no price discount, but the monthly talk time is increased from the original 200 minutes to 500 minutes, and the binding period is also two years.
On June 8, at a China Mobile business hall in Haidian District, the staff checked the reporter's package and said that because the reporter's original 60 yuan package stall exceeded the 58 yuan limit, if you want to enjoy the discount, you must apply at least 158 For the yuan package, the discounted price is 108 yuan. If you apply for a 198 yuan package, the preferential price is 138 yuan. The discount is less than 30% off and the highest is close to 25% off.
The package price also broke through 100 yuan and Beijing Unicom. The customer service of Beijing Unicom told reporters that you can now enjoy 5G package discounts with pre-stored phone charges for different gears. The original price of the 129 yuan 5G package is now 90 yuan, and the original price of 159 yuan is 111 yuan after the package discount. However, users need to choose a one-year or two-year contract.
In contrast, Beijing Telecom’s original 129 yuan 5G entry package now has an activity price of 103 yuan, and the preferential activities also have a two-year contract period.
