Unexpectedly? WeChat is going to challenge the three major operators, and SIM cards may be replaced

Although WeChat is becoming more and more popular, the operators are not affected much. Only the SMS service is gradually replaced. However, the operators still make a lot of money from the traffic fees, so WeChat and the three major operators can be said to be in a peaceful and mutually beneficial relationship. However, it is unexpected that WeChat's new service may replace the SIM card. Without the SIM card, what will the operators do?

A SIM card is actually a mobile phone card. It is the "credential" for accessing the network, and also the "source" of the phone number. Only when a SIM card is inserted into a mobile phone can it be connected to the Internet. A SIM card is required to answer calls, use data to surf the Internet, send text messages, etc. Therefore, a SIM card is basically a "door card" for the three major operators. Now many apps require a phone number to register, after all, a phone card is still needed to make a call. So how does WeChat's new business threaten the survival of the three major operators?

WeChat's new service is called Weixiaohao, which is easy to understand. It is a WeChat account. Its function is very simple. It is only for communication. Even if users do not have a SIM card, they can still use Weixiaohao to make calls or send and receive text messages. So even if they do not have a SIM card, they can still meet their daily communication needs.

The reason why SIM cards are so important and cannot be replaced is because users need to make calls. But now, micro-numbers can also make calls, and they can also use virtual numbers to better protect personal privacy. Users don't have to worry about receiving three or five sales or advertising calls every day. This method is safer for users. So why will SIM be replaced?

WeChat's new function allows users to use multiple numbers on one device. Users who want to separate work from life no longer have to go to the business hall to apply for a new number. And if your phone does not support dual SIM cards, you need to prepare a backup phone. But now that WeChat has a new function, even if your phone does not support dual SIM cards, you can still use multiple SIM cards on one device, perfectly separating work and life. So this function will meet the daily needs of a large number of users.

With more SIM cards, in addition to paying monthly rent, you also need to own more mobile phones, which is a heavy burden for ordinary people. Ordinary people usually only need two numbers and do not need to buy additional SIM cards. Therefore, this new charging function of WeChat still has great potential. The monthly fee of 10 months is also within an acceptable range. After all, applying for an extra SIM card may cost more than 18 yuan in monthly rent. In comparison, WeChat is still more cost-effective.

Although WeChat's new function does have certain potential, many netizens have doubts about it. After all, virtual numbers have certain security risks. Once a virtual number is used by someone with ulterior motives, it is likely to become an auxiliary tool for WeChat fraud. What do you think of WeChat's new function? Are you willing to pay for it?
