3. Focus on recent hot topics
1.Controversy over “limited speed limit”
The "unlimited packages" launched by many operators actually have speed limit thresholds. The Weibo topic # Traffic Unlimited But Speed Limit # has been read 120 million times. Consumers need to read the package instructions carefully.
2.Number portability discount
In order to attract new users, the three major operators launched exclusive data packages for users who ported their numbers to another network. Some packages gave an additional 10GB of data, triggering a "job hopping" craze.
3.Targeted flow-free gameplay upgrade
Platforms such as Douyin and Bilibili have cooperated with operators to launch customized cards. The related topic #swipe video for free data has become a hot search topic, but it should be noted that the scope of free data does not include advertisements and barrages.
4. Guidelines and Suggestions for Avoiding Pitfalls
1.Be wary of automatic renewal traps
Some short-term preferential monthly traffic has automatic renewal checked by default, and the shutdown path is usually hidden. It is recommended to check the subscription management immediately after activation.
2.Compare unit traffic prices
By simply calculating "monthly fee ÷ number of traffic GB", you can quickly determine the cost-effectiveness. For example, the unit cost of the 29 yuan 20GB package is 1.45 yuan/GB, which is significantly lower than most packages.
3.Pay attention to carryover rules
Some packages of China Telecom support the carryover of the remaining traffic of the current month to the next month, while most packages of China Mobile/China Unicom do not have this feature enabled, which is suitable for users with large fluctuations in traffic usage.
5. Traffic consumption trends in 2024
According to the latest industry report:
| trend direction | Specific performance | User attention |
|---|---|---|
| Popularity of 5G traffic | The package comes with 5G speed as standard, and the 4G package is gradually removed from the shelves | 78% |
| Family sharing traffic | The primary card + secondary card shared traffic pool model is popular | 65% |
| International traffic package | The rebound in outbound travel drives 7-day international package sales to increase by 200% | 42% |
In summary, when activating monthly traffic, you need to choose based on your own usage habits. It is recommended to give priority to official channels and pay attention to operator promotions regularly. If the average monthly traffic exceeds 20GB, it may be more cost-effective to choose an unlimited package, but be sure to confirm the speed limit threshold and coverage area.
