After more than 20 years of "fossil costs" --- domestic long-distance mobile phone and roaming charges, will soon usher in the "end of the day."

Following the "Government Work Report" of the two sessions, after stressing the cancellation of domestic long-distance and roaming charges for mobile phones during the year, the three major domestic operators also unanimously stated that they will officially withdraw this fee from the historical stage on October 1 this year.

This is really exciting news, but what exactly is the long-distance roaming fee? How was it charged before? Today, I will take you back to the past and present of domestic long-distance roaming charges.

Born in 1994, the "roaming fee" has been 23 years old.

In 1994, the former Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Mobile Phones and Adjusting the Standards for Mobile Phone Charges. The Notice states that in the state of roaming, telecom operators need to charge automatic roaming charges of mobile phones at 0.6 yuan/minute. .

Long-distance roaming charges are adjusted

After 2000, with the reform of telecommunications, domestic telecom companies launched various tariff packages for user differences.

In 2005, the former Ministry of Information Industry Joint Development and Reform Commission implemented “on-line control” for telecom service tariffs including roaming charges, with a prepayment of 0.8 yuan/minute, and other cases still at 0.6 yuan/minute.

In 2008, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Notice on Reducing the Maximum Standard for Domestic Roaming Call Charges for Mobile Phones", clearly setting the upper limit for domestic roaming charges. Re-adjust the roaming fee to 0.6 yuan / minute.

In 2014, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a notice to adjust the roaming fee again. The calling (calling) roaming fee was 0.6 yuan/minute, and the called (receiving call) roaming fee was 0.4 yuan/minute.

In addition, the three major operators will adjust the mobile roaming charges according to the actual situation of the group companies, provincial companies and city companies, and launch corresponding preferential projects. For example, China Mobile (Weibo) has previously launched “busy time” and “free time” peaks to collect mobile roaming charges. From 8:00 am to 9:00 pm, it is “busy time”. From 9:00 pm to 8:00 pm, it is “free time”, and the “busy time” for roaming calls is higher than “free time”.

Eliminate the exploration of long-distance roaming fees

In 2009, China Unicom (Weibo) first launched the 3G tariff package for “long (long-distance) city (local) diffuse (roaming) integration”.

In August 2015, the three major operators took the lead in cancelling roaming charges between Beijing and Tianjin.

In September 2015, the three major operators adjusted the communication tariffs of Kunming, Qujing, Yuxi and Chuxiong in Yunnan Province, and canceled the telephone exchange between the four cities. Long-distance call charges and roaming charges.

Cancel domestic long-distance roaming charges on the agenda

In July 2016, Yang Jie, chairman of China Telecom (microblogging) Group, said that China Telecom will gradually cancel long-distance roaming charges, and will take the lead in implementing full flow metering fees, that is, telephone and text messages are converted into traffic and unified billing.

On August 14, 2016, China Mobile announced that it expects to stop selling all long-distance roaming packages by the end of 2016 and gradually promote the nationwide integration tariff.

Here, I will give a practical example to illustrate. Take my own example, the China Mobile “Shenzhouxing” 5 yuan/month fee package used before November 2016, the “long-distance roaming fee” collection standard is called (call) 0.6 yuan / minute, called (received Phone) 0.4 yuan / minute. After upgrading to the 8 yuan / month tariff package, not only the "long-distance roaming fee" was removed, but also the nationwide call was 0.19 yuan / minute, and the nationwide call was not charged.

Full cancellation of domestic long-distance and roaming charges is only a shortcoming

From the actual operation point of view, the core main package of the three major operators has now canceled the long-distance roaming fee and implemented unified national billing. However, in the process of promotion, due to the different scales of users, there are still some long-distance roaming charges in the network users, and the cancellation of domestic long-distance and roaming charges is only a short-lived one.

The "two sessions" government work report on March 5 this year just gave the users a reassurance: "This year, the network will speed up the cost reduction and take more steps. All the domestic long-distance and roaming charges will be cancelled during the year." On March 6th, at the State Council's policy briefing held by the State Council, the three major operators all said that from October 1 this year, the domestic long-distance and roaming charges for canceling mobile phones will be fully implemented.

Cutting off the "roaming fee" is a homeopathic

Cancellation of long-distance roaming charges can be seen as a result of taking advantage of the trend, and is a result of mutual benefit and win-win between operators and consumers. It is also a good opportunity for innovation and wealth. With the popularization of 4G and the acceleration of 5G commercialization, the future traffic management is bound to usher in a spurt of growth. The status of mobile phone voice calls that have dominated in the past has gradually declined, and the corresponding domestic long-distance roaming charges will eventually become a product abandoned by the consumer.
