Two operators iphone 4S

Since the exclusive introduction of http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/33892.html to >iphone4s and the introduction of the contract plan by China Unicom in early January this year, China Telecom also announced that the C version of iphone will be officially listed in recent days, and announced the C version iphone contract plan. For consumers, the market at the same time two versions of the iphone is no doubt good news, not only more than the purchase choice, but also by comparing the advantages and disadvantages of both, choose more suitable for their own iphone. About the two operators at the same time to promote the iphone of the "feast", there are insiders said that consumers can not only "good-looking", the key to see which operators to provide a feast "delicious." Only from the consumer's most concerned contract plan, two versions of the iphone are not significantly different, and the two core differences are reflected in the quality of the network.

Contract plans are almost the same

China Telecom currently announced the iphone contract plan is divided into one year, two years, three-year period three, there are 289, 389, 489 and other 11 files optional package. Two-year 16GB version of the minimum monthly consumption of 389 yuan can purchase 0 yuan, 32GB version of 489 Yuan can be 0 yuan to buy a machine. and three-year corresponding 0 yuan purchase is 16GB/32GB version of the monthly package fee of 289 yuan, 64GB version of the minimum monthly consumption of 389 yuan. W version iphone Contract program users can choose three-year 286 yuan 16GB/32GB 0 yuan purchase, two-year 386 yuan 16GB 0 yuan purchase machine. The C version contract plan is basically consistent with the W version contract plan in the package setting.

to the telecom 16gb 289 Yuan package (China Unicom for 286 yuan package) For example, the telecom and Unicom two-year package purchase price is 1699 yuan, the telecom package includes 990 minutes voice, 180 SMS and 1500M traffic, More than 900 minutes of Unicom's voice more than 90 minutes, than Unicom 280 SMS less than 100. In addition, due to technical problems, Unicom package includes 30 MMS, and the telecom package does not include MMS.

China Telecom each month's package is more expensive than Unicom 3 yuan (289 and 389 contract plan). The actual use cost of telecommunication for two years is 8635 Yuan, Unicom is 8563 yuan, the difference is 72 yuan.

By contrast, we can see that in the package amount, Unicom is generally cheaper than telecommunications. But overall, the two have their own emphasis on the contract plan, but there is no obvious difference. It analysts said that the less advanced operators, want to borrow iphone to seize 3G market, first in the price to be competitive, but from the current exposure of the contract plan, C version iphone does not have the differentiation advantage.

Network format   The biggest difference between the two

analysts believe that the user experience based on network rate, network coverage, and international roaming is the most important factor in the user's choice of iphone when the contract rates are comparable.

In terms of network speed, the C version iphone uses a CDMA network for network-mode reasons, Its network speed can reach 3.1mbps,w version iphone use WCDMA network, can reach the current domestic fastest 14.4Mbps, is the C version iphone network Speed 4.6 times times.

on network coverage, China Unicom has now built the world's largest wcdma 3g network, covering 341 cities in the country and more than 95% counties and some developed townships. and telecom 3G Network covers all counties and cities above county level and 90% of the township. From the officialPublished data can be seen, telecommunications network in less developed areas of the township coverage better. But data show that 90% of iphone users are urban white-collar workers, business people and fashion people, their day-to-day life, work track in the city.

Because of the different network formats, the iphone user's international roaming experience varies. According to the reporter understands, will open the Sale C edition iphone China Telecom, currently has with 16 countries and the region 19 operators to open the CDMA international roaming service, but roams to other 200 GSM countries (for example Europe) to switch from the CDMA mode to the GSM mode, realizes the international roaming. In contrast, the operation of the W version of China Unicom iphone more extensive roaming, as at January 1, 2012, with 246 countries and regions, 549 operators have opened voice/SMS International roaming business, for 3G Users provide 112 major countries and regions of the 290 operators of high-speed data roaming business, with 193 countries and regions, 448 operators opened the international roaming data business. For "fruit powder", in addition to the package fee is very concerned about, because of network speed, network coverage will affect the user experience, so also become its most concerned about the elements.

In addition, the reporter also noted that, due to the characteristics of CDMA network technology, C version iphone users can not simultaneously handle voice and data traffic two different task requirements, meaning that C version iphone users can not be on the phone when the operation of any data flow. The W version does not have such a problem. Experts say the face of the "feast". Consumers in the choice of C version, W version of the iphone need to be cautious, to fully consider the charges and the use of experience and so on.
