The "Upgrade SMS" of your mobile phone is coming! How powerful is the function? What billing?
The reporter learned from the three major telecom operators yesterday (11th) that China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom plan to jointly launch an upgraded version of the short message service, 5G news, to the public and industry users during the year.
It is understood that for individual users, 5G messages will break the length limit of each message by traditional SMS, and the content will also break through the text limit, realizing the effective integration of text, pictures, audio and video, expressions, location, contacts and other information. In addition, 5G messaging also has online payment functions, supports online and offline messaging, can provide message status reports and message history management, can send messages and expressions without adding friends, and initiate group sending and group chat at any time.
For enterprises, 5G messaging will provide an information interaction interface with individual users. Enterprises can output personalized services and consultations to users through rich media such as text, voice, and tabs.
Huang Gengsheng, director of the Business Research Institute of China Mobile Research Institute: 5G news is an entrance to information services. It does not require downloading apps, login without accounts, and has the characteristics of real-name authentication.

Technicians told reporters that they hope to achieve a service goal of clothing, food, housing and transportation through a 5G message. With the help of 5G messages, you do not need to download and install App applications, you can directly enter the message port to perform various operations.
Taking the purchase of train tickets as an example, you can enter travel information, select a schedule directly through the message port of 12306, and can also perform operations such as change, payment, and direct ticket issuance.
Wu Huazhi, deputy general manager of the Convergence Communications Division of China Mobile Internet Co., Ltd .: In fact, we can call it an SMS applet, without installing an application, you can use a variety of light applications directly on the mobile phone SMS input.
Experts pointed out that 5G news is an upgrade of operators' traditional services. It has rapid iteration and flexible introduction of Internet features and attributes. This is both a challenge and an opportunity for telecom operators.
