The profiteering age of Short Messages

Mobile Internet access is now a family meal, basically all smartphones are connected to the network using GRPS or WAP, but no one found that emails are much cheaper than short messages.

The general GRPS traffic is 1 m RMB, so the price of a text in it is:

1 RMB/(1024x1024/2) = 0.000002 RMB, that is, 2e-6

 

What about a short message?

 

A short message requires 0.1 yuan and can only send 70 characters. The price of a text message is:

Cheapest price: RMB 0.1/70 = RMB 0.001429

Most Expensive Price: 0.1 yuan/1 = 0.1 yuan

 

Considering that the recipient of an email is also charged, the final price of a text in the email is:

0.000002x2 = 0.000004 yuan

 

Therefore, the single-word price of Short Messages is a multiple of Email:

Min = 0.001429/0.000004 = 357.25 times

Max = 0.1/0.000004 = 25000 times

 

For common users, a short message is a sentence with more than 10 words, and its multiples are:

(0.1/15 (Median value)/0.000004 = 1666.67 times

 

Let's take a look at the profits of these operators and think about the traffic fees that have already exceeded in China! Isn't such a huge profit making everyone speak!
