Global access to mainland packages is much lower than Hong Kong

To enjoy China Mobile Hong Kong's preferential package although there are many conditions, but its concessions, far more than the mainland tariff package, to China Mobile, "global Qualcomm" as an example, although the minimum threshold for monthly packages as long as 58 yuan, but it contains the length of the call and data flow enough to let users "tears."

According to the introduction of Beijing Mobile Online business Hall, 58 Yuan Global package has a variety of combinations, and some focus on the call, and some focus on the Internet, to a 58 per year fee of the Internet package as an example, the gift of the main call duration only 50 minutes, the data flow is only 200M, beyond the rate of 0.25 yuan/min, Flow rate of 0.0005 yuan Kilobyte.

China Mobile package is not the most favorable in Hong Kong

Why is there so much difference in tariffs imposed by an operator in two regions? According to information provided by the Hong Kong Telecommunications Authority, there are currently 5 mobile operators in Hong Kong, and China Mobile Hong Kong Corporation is a competitor to be added to the post, and its tariffs are not the most favourable among operators in Hong Kong.

The reporter inquires another Hong Kong operator Digital Pass (smartone) website, found that it also has a monthly fee of HK $68 3G Package, telephone length of 1700 minutes, unlimited Internet traffic, and there is no additional costs, than China Mobile discount after the package cheaper.

This shows that China Mobile is not particularly preferential to Hong Kong consumers, is the competition to reduce the tariff standards. There are also industry insiders pointed out that China Mobile is currently in Hong Kong has launched 4G services, 3G Network is not the future development focus, so the promotion is also reasonable.
