Despite the price
increases of short message services (SMS) by the Guangzhou Unicom, Shanghai
Unicom will not follow suit, the Shanghai Morning Post reported today.
"We
will not raise the prices, and haven't received any circulars from our parent
company," said a supervisor with the marketing department of Shanghai
Unicom.
Guangzhou Unicom, China Unicom's Guangzhou branch, announced to
charge its subscribers 0.15 yuan (US$0.018) for each short message to users from
other mobile communication networks, 0.05 yuan more than previously.
Early
in May 2002, China Mobile Communications Co Ltd began to raise each SMS fees
between different mobile communication networks from 0.10 yuan to 0.15
yuan.
