Today, Little Smart subscribers can send or receive short messages to or from Shanghai Unicom users on a trial basis after the intercommunication service reached an agreement with Shanghai Mobile users one month ago, the Shanghai Morning Post reported today. At present, Little Smart users are required to pay 0.08 yuan for each short message sent to others both in the same or different networks, said a spokesman with Shanghai Telecom yesterday.
Users with handset number beginning with '130, 131 and 132' can enjoy short messaging services (SMS) with Little Smart subscribers from today. On November 1, China Unicom's Shanghai unit increased the fee for sending short messages to users of different networks, including Little Smart users, to 0.15 yuan (1.8 US cents) each, up five fen from before.
Shanghai is one of the four cities in China to conduct a trial operation of inter-company telecommunication services between China Unicom and Little Smart subscribers. The trial period will end by November 20, at which time the official operation of the program will begin.
As of October 10, Shanghai Mobile users could send or receive short messages to or from Little Smart users on a trial basis. More than 95 percent of short messages have been sent or received successfully to date.
"If you want to send short messages to Little Smart users, you should add '106021' to their numbers," the spokesman added.
