Jing Bao (Reporter Ma Ji Yuan) from the formal introduction of China Unicom, iPhone 4, is undoubtedly the hottest mobile phones currently on the market. However, many users a way to bind calls package purchased from the iPhone 4 China Unicom, the only cell phone, not the number of China Unicom and stored calls. This approach does not work in future: the Shenzhen Branch of China Unicom said yesterday, December 1 iPhone 4 starting on the implementation of new customer agreements, such as after a purchase does not use binding Unicom number, calls will only be stored frozen with mobile terminals will also be locked and can not properly call.
Embarrassment:
Unicom into the black market iPhone 4 "high demand"
Last October, China Unicom in China as Apple only partners, resulting in communication carriers licensed in the exclusive iPhone sales achieved the qualification. With iPhone's unique charm, China Unicom's 3G business has made great progress. IPhone 4 September this year, mainstream market in mainland China, the more aroused, "Apple fans" favorable, serious imbalance between supply and demand, many out of stock.
In order to develop 3G services, China Unicom on the iPhone, all the way to bind the package calls for sales. However, not all iPhone users to buy from China Unicom, China Unicom 3G is bound to use numbers and stored calls. Many operators were originally cell phone number with other users, the original SIM card into iPhone, the iPhone into the genuine network of other operators.
Yesterday, a reporter at a Shenzhen local Web site, the residents of Area A by the people made an announcement, iPhone 4 sale of mobile phones, the poster stated, is licensed iPhone 4, not yet unpacked, called the price of 5600 yuan / Department . Press contact in accordance with its left contact them, inform the other party has been sold. In this regard, China Unicom insiders said that the current iPhone 4 extremely tight supply, many users in the 联通营业厅 order has been waiting nearly a month has not so delivered. The bare metal mainstream internet iPhone 4 sale, must worry about sales.
Not only that, some people buy the iPhone 4 from China Unicom and binding numbers, calls package apart and sold on the black market. Shenzhen, in a number of local reporters yesterday that the relevant notice on the site. Post a public Liu said: "Shenzhen Unicom's 3G iPhone 4 contract packages Card 1865818 × × × number, tail number 4 and is no neat, containing calls 5880 yuan, a point not to play," his asking price is cheap, 950 yuan can be traded. Operators, insiders said that the practice of card separation, making China Unicom 3G iPhone, and a serious loss of network users, so that China Unicom had to take decisive measures to deal with.
Countermeasures:
Unicom iPhone 4 next month and can not UIM
Yesterday afternoon, the Shenzhen branch of China Unicom told reporters, according to the decision of China Unicom Corporation, December 1 iPhone 4 starting on the implementation of the new agreement, the agreed plan for 3G iPhone contract mobile communication terminal binding services and products, only bound to use the purchased communications services, USIM card, the user number and the iPhone terminal (ie machine card does not separate) case, the user only to provide China Unicom end to enjoy the preferential subsidies; user commitment to voluntarily choose to contract China Unicom iPhone program, voluntarily choose to provide China Unicom, iPhone package, promised the corresponding minimum monthly communications, network protocol commitment period is 24 months and promised to use local card is not isolated. "
That is, at least in the purchase agreement within a period of 24 months from the purchase of iPhone4 Unicom mobile phone, you must use binding Unicom 3G numbers. Once a card from, not only calls will be stored frozen, even mobile terminals will also be locked and can not properly call.
However, this new agreement only after December 1 for the network of new users is temporarily not involve December 1 of the old network users.
Key:
"UIM" how to define
After the publication of this stringent requirement, "card from" how to define users to become the greatest concern.
Is a genuine iPhone 4 each to break out from the phone are used to bind the Unicom 3G numbers, month, or as long as a certain number of calls using the binding number?
"If the former, then I have to honestly use the binding Unicom number, previously used numbers to other operators have to replace" book has been licensed in Shenzhen Unicom users iPhone 4 News, said Yang Lin Duijing . However, as of press time last night, Shenzhen Unicom no authoritative interpretation on this issue.
