although 5g mobile phones will not be widely used until 2020, operators have been prepared for it. According to domestic media reports, China Telecom released the first 5g phone card! Pan Shiyi, chairman of SOHO China, took the lead in tasting. Netizens have said that Telecom is going to surpass mobile host?
It is reported that on January 29, SOHO China and China Telecom held a signing ceremony for 5g strategic cooperation. At the signing ceremony, China Telecom gave Pan Shiyi, chairman of SOHO China, a 5g phone card. This is the first 5g card in China. The traditional 133 segment of China Telecom is still used for this number, and the tail signal is 0001.
Of course, before the arrival of 5g mobile phone, its symbolic significance is greater than its practical value, and it can't be used at this stage, and this sim card is not in the real sense that operators start 5g number extension.
It is worth mentioning that China Unicom also said yesterday that the first batch of 5g smart phone test machines of China Unicom was officially delivered.
Do you need to change the mobile card in 5g era? The answer is No. That is to say, in 5g era, users can continue to use 4G SIM card to access 5g network through 5g mobile phone.
Previously, Gartner, a market research organization, pointed out in the report that the first sales outbreak of 5g mobile phones will be in 2020, but the annual sales volume is only estimated at about 65 million.
In the short term, the existing 4G mobile phones can meet the needs of ordinary consumers. If there is no special use scenario, it is not necessary to spend more money to buy a 5g mobile phone.
