Chapter 348 Mobile Internet Rates (Please subscribe 510)

The promotional video ended here, the dim lights of the press conference returned to normal, and everyone present applauded.

There is not a single line in the entire promotional video, but it expresses all the key points.

At this time, Director Zhang returned to the center of the press conference, holding a white mobile phone exactly like the one in the promotional video.

He waved to the audience, briefly introduced the "mobile phone satellite communication" technology, and then changed the subject:

"I won't introduce it to you in detail anymore. Next, I will directly answer the questions that netizens are most concerned about.

"First question: Can the satellite function of the 'Super 2' mobile phone be used without inserting a SIM card?"

"Yes! The satellite function of our 'Super 2' mobile phone is a built-in function. You only need to activate the Phoenix ID, and you can send satellite text messages, make calls and access data online normally without a SIM card, but the prerequisite is that you need to purchase our 'satellite communication package'

Bag'."

"Second question: Is the speed of satellite Internet really as fast as Mr. Hu said in the interview?"

"Our default download speed is 1Gb/S, and the upper limit can reach up to 560Gb/S. However, the download speed is sometimes affected by the data website you visit."

"The third question:..."

I have to say that Director Zhang really put a lot of effort into the arrangement of the entire press conference.

Originally, the "mobile phone satellite function" has been fermenting on the Internet for more than half a month. Everyone knows a lot about these functions in general, but many users are not clear about the details.

Director Zhang did not go into very detail, but directly listed the ten most frequently asked questions by netizens in the form of questions and answers, which can be said to be clear at a glance!

Seeing this, netizens watching the live broadcast in the live broadcast rooms of major platforms also liked it one after another. Just by looking at the questions and answers, basically all the questions were answered.

The situation was the same at the press conference. Questions and answers obviously aroused everyone's interest.

Just as the questions were being answered one by one, suddenly an enthusiastic fan in the audience loudly said:

"Mr. Zhang, one more question remains. How much are the charges for satellite text messages, phone calls and satellite Internet access?!"

The fans' words echoed throughout the press conference hall, and everyone at the scene immediately became energetic and whispered.

Good guy.

To put it bluntly, the function of satellite Internet is good, but if the cost is too expensive, who can afford it?

Everyone was discussing at the scene, and there was also a small climax of discussion in the live broadcast room.

"I guess text messaging is about the same as Huawei Hongguo. A text message costs one yuan. As for phone charges... Does anyone know how much a satellite phone costs per minute now?!"

"I am a sailor and I know this. The maritime satellite phone in Chou country is about 20-80 yuan per minute, and the charges are different in each region! Motorola's Iridium satellite phone is similar, and our domestic 'Tiantong satellite phone' in Yan country,

It costs about 5 yuan a minute in China!”

"And the most important thing is that these require buying special satellite phones, which cost about 10,000 yuan each!"

"Damn it, satellite phone rates are so expensive?! I've always known that satellite rates are expensive, but I didn't expect them to be so expensive. Then the Phoenix satellite phone function is probably at least several yuan per minute!"

"The one upstairs is expensive. If you really want to use the satellite phone, you'll probably have to spend a hundred yuan a minute!"

"Well, who would use a satellite phone under normal circumstances?"

The discussion in the online live broadcast room was intense. At the press conference, Director Zhang did not mind the fans’ questions and said with a slight smile:

"Haha, the final question naturally needs to be answered last."

"However, it just so happened that the last question asked by netizens also happened to be about tariffs, so now..."

Director Zhang deliberately lengthened his voice and paused.

While waiting for the words "SMS Rate" to appear on the screen, he said in conjunction with the subtitles on the screen:

"Satellite short message function: 5 cents/message!"

Many people at the scene exhaled softly. The price is not expensive, but they can wait for a second.

"For all customers who purchase Phoenix 'Super 2' series mobile phones, the first 300 satellite text messages are free! There is no time limit!"

call--!

Everyone was a little stunned now. In fact, both Huawei and Hongguo have provided similar services.

They were given a free trial for about three months. Unexpectedly, Phoenix Group directly sent 300 satellite text messages without a time limit!

Buy a mobile phone and send text messages? Phoenix is ​​full of sincerity!

After a moment, the text on the screen flashed again, and Director Zhang’s voice sounded:

"Satellite voice call: 9 cents/minute domestically! 5 yuan/minute overseas!"

"For all customers who purchase Phoenix's 'Super 2' series mobile phones, domestic calls are free for the first 300 minutes! There is no time limit!"

ah?!

9 cents!? Three hundred minutes free!

This time, not to mention that the audience present was stunned, even Huawei, Da Mi and other mobile phone company bosses showed disbelief!

This...is this too cheap?!

Moreover, Phoenix You’s move is too generous, right?!

Tsk tsk tsk, buy a mobile phone and get 300 minutes of free calls, and there is no time limit!

For the domestic "Tiantong Satellite Phone", you need to purchase a dedicated satellite phone and the price is 5 yuan per minute!

The tariff of your consumer-grade mobile phone is directly priced at 9 cents per minute, and you also get 300 minutes free of charge. Doesn’t this directly destroy the job of the satellite phone?

In this way, who would carry a satellite phone when they are on the sea or in the mountains? Wouldn’t it be nice to buy a Phoenix mobile phone?

That's right.

At this moment, Mr. Ding, the battery CEO who runs the "Tiantong Satellite Phone" business, was watching the live broadcast with a slight sweat on his forehead.

Of course he had thought about the charge for Phoenix's mobile phone and satellite communications, but when something urgent happened and he didn't have time to take care of Phoenix's affairs, the Phoenix Group's press conference came as scheduled!

Moreover, in his mind, he never expected that Phoenix Group could keep the phone charges so low!

Don’t you make money from the high-cost satellites they worked so hard to build?!

What is even more shocking are the CEOs of many foreign communication companies!

You know, international long distances now cost two or three yuan per minute, and even in some remote places, the price reaches 5 yuan per minute!

Phoenix’s international satellite phone charges are only 5 yuan per minute?

Good guy, are you sure you're not here to ruin everyone's jobs?

Before I had time to think about it, the third line of text appeared again on the screen:

"Satellite Internet traffic: 1G/50 yuan, 5G/100 yuan, 10G/150 yuan!"

“All customers who purchase Phoenix ‘Super 2’ series mobile phones will receive 30G of free data! No time limit!”

this……

As soon as the data traffic rates came out, there was another discussion in the entire press room.

This is not expensive!

Netizens have previously discussed on the Internet whether satellite traffic charges would be ridiculously high, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it could not be too high.

After all, if 1G really costs hundreds of dollars, then no one will probably use satellite data to access the Internet.

I have to say that the price setting has just stuck in the hearts of netizens. It is expensive, but it is barely acceptable.

…

Hu Lai looked at the warm atmosphere at the press conference and nodded frequently with satisfaction.

This time, he had considered the pricing of satellite tariffs for a long time.

In fact, although the Phoenix "Super 2" mobile phone can realize satellite phone and satellite broadband Internet access, the nature of the "Tongtian-1" satellite in the sky is the same as the base station on the ground. It is a base station that receives and transmits signals, not a server.

Simply put, after the satellite receives the Internet access request from the mobile phone, it will return the mobile phone's request to the Phoenix satellite ground station, and then the ground station will access the Internet to access the Internet.

The same is true for broadband Internet access, and the same is true for telephone communications.

Therefore, the cost of Phoenix's satellite broadband Internet access is not only the satellite cost, but also the cost of ground station power and communication fees.

But even so, Hu Lai resisted the pressure and set the price more reasonably.

First, he hopes that after cultivating user habits, customers can actually use satellite services.

Secondly, the most important purpose of his launch of "mobile phone satellite communication" technology is to sell mobile phones!

It doesn’t matter whether satellite communication traffic or phone calls make money, they are all supporting packages!

The "Super 2" mobile phone can completely make up for it by making money from selling it!

Thinking of this, Hu Lai exhaled softly, and suddenly heard a roaring sound coming from the reception hall at the front desk.

After taking a closer look, it turned out that the price of "Super 2" was announced on the screen!

"Super 2 Mini version, 5999 yuan, 256GB, ternary lithium battery, supports satellite communication function!"

"Super 2 regular version, 6999 yuan, 512GB, semi-solid lithium battery, supports satellite communication function!"
