China Mobile to pare smartphone subsidies soon

By Bloomberg (China Daily) Updated: 2014-09-27 15:22

China Mobile Ltd, the world's largest carrier, is taking steps to eliminate $2 billion in smartphone subsidies by revising the packages available for devices sold at its flagship store in Beijing.

The change means costs will double for a customer buying Apple Inc's iPhone 5s with 16 gigabytes of storage and using the carrier's most expensive data plan, based on materials distributed at the store in China Mobile corporate headquarters.

The new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are not approved for official sale in China yet.

China Mobile is cutting the subsidies that help consumers in the world's largest market pay for high-end smartphones from Apple and Samsung Electronics Co.

China Mobile Chairman Xi Guohua said this month the carrier would focus on selling cheaper phones for "the mass market" after the government ordered the State-run carriers to reduce spending.

"In principle, we are controlling subsidies and marketing costs," Rainie Lei, a Hong Kong-based spokeswoman for the carrier, said on Friday. "The details of exactly how may differ from city to city, and various provinces may have different practices." Lei said she did not know if the Beijing policy would be expanded nationwide.

China Mobile shops in Shanghai offer credits for voice packages rather than device subsidies, while stores in Guangzhou are subsidizing devices until Sept 30, according to customer service representatives in each city.

The representatives were unaware of changes being instituted after that date.

China Mobile wants to lower the amount of money it spends to subsidize phones to 21 billion yuan ($3.4 billion) from 34 billion yuan. The carrier has 796 million subscribers, more than the population of any other country except India.

That reduction was announced after the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission told carriers to cut costs because they had overspent on subsidies and advertising for devices such as the iPhone, people familiar with the matter said in July.

In the carrier's headquarters shop, discounts were eliminated from the prices for devices and applied to the prices for monthly subscriptions, though in smaller amounts.

Previously, customers paid 5,288 yuan for the iPhone 5s up front. With a two-year contract for the top monthly plan, the buyer received monthly rebates of 194 yuan that covered 88 percent of the device's list price.

By the end of the contract, the user paid 632 yuan for the phone.

Under the new policy, the consumer pays 4,488 yuan up front for the same iPhone model and the top monthly plan gives discounts on voice service of 136 yuan a month, or 3,264 yuan for two years. That means consumers pay 1,224 yuan for the iPhone.
