Business Manager, Chen Li told us, they down at least billion text messages a month, down to 5 million a day.

Chen Li says, beginning as No. 021, is the PHS number.
He further explained to the reporters, starting in 2009, with the significant reduction of user, PHS also gradually fade out the market, Shanghai Telecom to take advantage of this free network, build a mass message channel. Of course, mass message to the telecom companies therefore have paid quite a lot of cost. Chen Li said Shanghai Chong Ming limited channel information technology costs, millions of one month.
Leaving Shanghai, reporters also visited Guangdong, Shanxi and other places, found that use of telecommunications channels sending spam text messages, is quite popular in the industry.
A mass message in Guangzhou company: “now the ads are generally used telecommunication channel. “Century Haotian science and Technology Co Ltd of Taiyuan:” our company is 03 to 06 mass message, later 08 party time, then you know, after that time, we will not do that. That can be easily shielded, reach, not “.
Reporters found that these mass message can use the telecommunication channels, including China Telecom, Guangzhou Branch, branch in Jingzhou, Hubei suizhou, Hubei branch, over more than 20.
In July 2008, the three carriers, including China Telecom, more than 30 companies jointly signed by the China Internet Association anti-spam SMS self-discipline has explicitly provided for in the Convention, without the user’s consent to send commercial, advertising such as SMS, other violation of industry self-regulation code for short messages belong to spam text messages.
Beginning in June 2008, in the Ministry cleaned up text message multiple times in special operations, industry applications such as SMS port operators junk junk junk junk SMS, information service SMS, SMS advertising classes are among the key scope of regulation such as spamming.
Sending spam text messages for use of telecommunications channels, is informed about the subsidiary of China Telecom branch? Branch in Dongguan city in Guangdong Province of China Telecom enterprise customer service center, Li, head manager of the journalists met here. Reporter to the Li Manager read a code 0769 spam text messages, he was recognized at a glance, this spam text messages are sent using their channel.
And Shanghai Telecom, Dongguan Telecom is also using the PHS to send a text message, they also set up a “system of PHS short message sent online assisted” to facilitate mass-company use of telecommunications channels, mass text message faster. Managers said Lai, calculated in accordance with a second 300, an hour they can send 1.08 million text messages.
In addition to sending speed, Telecom send SMS secondary system in Dongguan city, there is also a feature that is cheap, about every message as long as 5 cents, send no strict restrictions on the content. Manager Lai said, in order to evade the check, as long as the restricted words separated and sent on the line.
To facilitate spam text messages sent at the same time, Dongguan Telecom also received massive amounts of income, they can be easily ordered by superior growth targets. Dongguan city branch of China Telecom enterprise customer service Center Manager Lai said, “the entire way to charge income, growth in 2012 to 6 points, 6 points in Dongguan as a whole is 300 million, today’s market environment, relying on the traditional business when will earn 300 million enough? This message can bring millions of income to Dongguan. ”
Not only is telecommunications in Dongguan, reporters also found, Jingzhou, Guangzhou Telecom, Shanghai Telecom, suizhou, telecommunications, telecommunications branch in order to increase revenue, provide convenience for spam text messages sent.
Hubei suizhou branch of China Telecom value-added business project manager Zeng Fanxiang told reporters, “they can 100 million a month. There is no limit, casually, you use, the more we are the happier. ”
In order to increase the rate of spam text messages arrive, prevent spam text messages from being blocked for other operators, telecom companies also created a large number of pools, number pool reserves in tens of thousands of and even a hundred thousand of spare PHS number.
Manager says, “mobile company has an anti-spam text messages system, over 200 a hour it will give you the masked, so we source the number a little more, it is less likely to shield. “The reporter tested by Dongguan telecommunications channels, issued a message, each sending number is not the same.
Jingzhou, Hubei branch of China Telecom Mobile value-added operations center manager told reporters, “message to recipient, received those numbers, those numbers round-robin pool is our number, is not to say that are the result of a number of past. ”
Reporter found that some telecommunications companies to mass message content is clearly defined: mass message company to sign without the responsibility of sending illegal text messages, text message keywords need to be filtered, China Telecom Shanghai companies have clear: enterprises must be confirmed by the user after you agree to receive SMS service, available through Enterprise Messenger to send a short message. Such a provision, however, the practice has become a dead letter.
Xu Wenbing China Telecom Shanghai long distance wireless value-added service center says, “be subject to consent to the provision of it’s hard to do, as long as you promise there are no complaints on the line. ”
In accordance with the People’s Republic of China Telecom regulations, value-added telecommunications business for enterprises, the value-added telecommunications business license is required, however in Shanghai Branch of China Telecom, reporters had submitted only company business license, copy of identity card, in the case of the value-added telecommunications business license does not exist, easy application to mass message business.
Dongguan city branch of China Telecom is even more simple, as long as a part of the costs in advance, individuals can only apply for mass message business.
Some telecommunications companies in order to evade responsibility, even agreements are free. Department of Hubei suizhou branch of China Telecom value-added business manager told reporters, “we have not entered into any agreement with you, if you check the agreement, we are afraid to take risks, we are a very simple, you give us, we give you channel resources, and then you’re using. ”
User complaints of spam text messages if encountered, telecom companies also tried, as mass message account removal of complaints or assist the company replaced channel number to address their worries. China Telecom Shanghai long distance wireless value-added service centre Xu Wenbing said, “sometimes a customer complaint here, just off the channel, we’ll help you switch off number. “Guangzhou Branch of China Telecom enterprise customer Center Office of public service senior account manager Luo Yi told reporters” we be nipped in the bud in the complaint, if the second complaint, we will tell you, out this number. ”
Operators should bear the monitoring responsibility, but open the door open for spam text messages sent. Not only that, some telecommunications company had also sent the spam message. Mass message platform of suizhou branch of China Telecom, reporters saw a successful real estate advertisements that are sent.
Zeng Fanxiang: I also made real estate, I can send that.
Laugh, at this moment is to sound so harsh. As the operators of telecommunications companies should shoulder this responsibility, help your users screen out all of the junk messages. Today, information is seen by them as a powerful force behind these mass companies and spam text messages, help these group companies to avoid blocking, improved the arrival rate of messages. Faced with all this we would like to ask, is to own, and roles can easily swap, liability can be discarded easily?
