The three major operators have removed multiple 4G packages from their shelves. Is the real 5G era coming?

Recently, China Mobile's online business halls and apps in many regions can no longer find the previously very favorable 4G packages. Users who want to change their packages must choose the relatively higher-priced 5G packages. A call to customer service gave the conclusion that users can go to offline business halls to apply for 4G packages on their own. Unfortunately, the editor went to offline consultation and found that there were very few 4G packages available in offline business halls, and the charges were also relatively high.

The editor also found that similar situations exist in China Unicom and China Telecom. In fact, for most users, 4G packages can fully meet daily needs. However, at this stage, 5G is becoming increasingly popular, and the types of 4G packages available to individual users are decreasing, and the available channels are also narrowing.

Obviously, this has a lot to do with the three major operators' efforts to promote 5G development, so let's first take a look at the mobile 5G packages.

According to the 5G Smart Package given on the official website, the average tariff for 5G is higher than that for 4G. At this stage, 4G can fully meet our daily needs, and there is basically no need to apply for 5G. However, the practice of the three major operators to reduce the optional 4G packages and force 5G packages is really suspected of shifting the cost of 5G construction to consumers.

5G is developing rapidly. No matter what the 5G packages offered by the three major operators are, the charges will definitely be further reduced after 5G is fully launched in the future. Finally, I would like to remind my friends that if the current package is sufficient and you have no plans to change to a 5G package in the near future, try not to change the existing package.
