The three major telecom operators have collectively suspended low-priced, high-data-volume SIM cards. Who will control the cost of internet access abroad?
On the evening of July 31, China Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom, the three major telecom operators, simultaneously issued announcements stating that, in order to protect user rights and data security, starting from August 1, 2026, other third-party internet channels will no longer provide SIM card application services, and the only online application portals will remain the operators' official apps and websites.
This means that the "19 yuan for 200GB" low-priced data plans that we previously saw everywhere on e-commerce platforms, live streaming rooms, and short videos will be completely shut down.
However, from 19 yuan for 200GB to 39 yuan for 50GB, the "cost-effectiveness" of the plans sold through third-party agents and official operators has plummeted. For ordinary consumers, rising domestic communication costs are a foregone conclusion.
For cross-border travelers, the impact is even more direct: Previously, a combination of a low-cost, high-data domestic SIM card and an international roaming package was possible. Now, low-cost cards are gone, and roaming fees are outrageously expensive, effectively cutting off the path to "saving money while maintaining convenience."
Tighter operator channels have actually intensified users' demand for cost control in cross-border communication. Since domestic internet access can't be saved, a cheaper way to access the internet abroad is necessary, right?

Operators shutting down low-price channels changes the supply model, but users' pursuit of "cost-effectiveness" remains unchanged.
