Yesterday, the reporter also learned that, in response to these emerging issues, virtual operators are also working to solve them.

The bank does not recognize the 170 number

Since May, domestic virtual operators have launched their own businesses in succession and have released a small amount of 170-card cards to the market on a trial commercial basis. Although the number of users who really use 170 numbers in China is still very small, some problems have begun to surface. According to some users of number 170 of virtual operators, there are some problems in the actual use of number 170 card. For example, when calling number 170 of a fixed line telephone, it may sometimes be told to be an empty number. Banks and some websites do not recognize 170 At the beginning of the number, the user can not receive the verification code when registering or logging in. Some security software on the phone will automatically block and shield the 170 number.

A number of virtual operators have also publicly acknowledged the existence of these issues. Jiang Weiping, Vice President of the World of Telephones, said that according to the statistics, about 5% to 10% of the users reported problems such as similar interoperability and verification code not received. Zou Xueyong, secretary general of the Virtual Carrier Industry Alliance, said that from the current understanding, the problems that the fixed line can not dial mainly exist in some provinces in the north, while the problems of service-type short messages are relatively common.

Is expected to be basically solved in August

According to him, the three major carriers have started to communicate with large banks such as Tencent, 360 and Sohu as well as large-scale banks like Zhongnongong Jianjian to solve the problem of unrecognized number 170 certification encountered in registration. "It is a tedious task that requires some development and debugging, a lot of work and a really long time to complete." He said that by August, it is estimated that over 90% of major websites and banks will be able to monitor 170 Number to identify.

Virtual operators number is too radical

170 numbers in the commercial trial of the initial problems continue to show that virtual operators are eager to seize the market in the early stages of business, there is no time to wait for the relevant preparations, the test is completed. "More than a dozen virtual operators are placing numbers in this time frame, no one wants to grab the user first, for fear of late loss." A virtual operator insiders said. It is in this mentality, some virtual operators are holding the first number to grab the market, and then gradually improve the service plan.

However, this mode of thinking does not meet the three major carriers seek a steady approach. Therefore, the three major carriers are also in various ways to limit the pace of virtual operators. For example, during the commercial trial period, operators generally only provide 2000 to 3000 numbers to one virtual operator in one city. Only when the number of virtual operators is 50% of the number is activated, can the second number card be applied .

Zou Xueyong, secretary general of China Virtual Operators Industry Alliance, introduced that there are about 70,000 to 80,000 segments in China that have entered the market at present, among which there are quite a few employees and friendly users of the virtual operators. The actual number of users in the market is not large , And by October, each fictitious operator estimated that will begin to enter the batch numbering phase. "For the virtual operators, the number of initials in a short period of time is not important, by some means of marketing is not difficult, the key is to make the service and business well, to allow users to stay after access Live, this is the most crucial. "Zou Xueyong said.
