, REVIEW : in a few years ago, the community has been criticized by the behavior of the mobile operators to set the bill is valid and has not stopped. Although the three major domestic carriers finally make this a substantive response, but retain the validity of certain pre-paid variety acts undoubtedly allow consumers to be disappointed, why the bill is valid can not be completely abolished? Every day 315, the current concern, phone calls to cancel the validity should not hold back.

BEIJING, May 13,

Zhongguang Wang, according to the economic voice of “every day, 315 reported that, on the 1st, China Unicom announced to cancel the validity of the cell phone user calls, it is following China Mobile in January this year to cancel the bill is valid, the domestic In addition, a large mobile operators make the cancellation of the bill is valid commitments.

cancel an introduction of stored calls validity of measures are welcome and affirmation of all mobile phone users, but around the many mobile phone users also reflects the three operators almost all packages have a minimum consumption, so many consumers questioned why the bill is valid can not be completely canceled.

mobile operators do not fully cancel calls validity of acts, mandatory spending is not suspected violations of the legitimate rights and interests of consumers? Chairman professor level senior engineer of China Information Economics Society the Yang Peifang, Beijing Chaoyang attorneys Hu Gang for analysis.

Yang Peifang: the industry and the industry unanimously called for the cancellation calls valid for many years, today announced the cancellation of, this is a good thing. But why there are minimum? There is some truth. Because the number itself, the opportunity cost in the inside, if you do not have the communications sector have to maintain the operation of the network. From the principles of economics can be understood, it is reasonable.

As for the existing multiple calls package, the I personally think that engage in so many packages to consumers is not fair, I have always advocated, the Ministry of Industry to simplify transparent, to reduce the package, even I am advocating should be canceled package , so that people clearly consumption.

There is a saying called “buy did not sell the refined, the tariff is more complex and more unfavorable to the consumer, because the more the package, which traps more, and these packages are basically would operate after Actuarial out, he certainly is how he cost-effective. A good solution to this problem is to adopt or through social one to do the work, allowing the operator to take down the ladder of simple and straightforward a charging. I use the more the cheaper push this package at a glance, operators will not suffer, consumers will not suffer.

Hu Gang:

from a legal point of view, our national Consumer Protection Act, which specifically referred to 24, that the operators may not make a standard form contract, and so unfair to consumers, unreasonable provisions. in order to reduce or exempt from the damage the legitimate rights and interests of consumers should bear the legal responsibility. Second, the current distribution tariff prices are government pricing, belongs to the basic telecommunications services, the Ministry of Industry shall make the appropriate adjustments to make spending more transparent.

If consumers believe that the set of operators on the tariff is not reasonable enough, then at least there are three ways you can consult complaint call the Ministry of telecommunication services Reception Center, Consumers Association 12315 as well as directly to telecom operators claim their rights.
