Because of mobile and some mainstream music platforms, there is no public awareness.
China Unicom and China Telecom have cooperated with many mainstream music platforms, so they have the function of listening to songs without streaming.
Let’s talk about how various APPs can listen to music online without traffic:
In fact, it is achieved by each operator configuring targeted traffic packages for users, which is equivalent to A monthly value-added service package is ordered for the user, and the traffic generated by the user's access to a specific website IP or the use of specific software will be detected and counted accordingly in the targeted traffic package.
It will not consume the user’s traffic within or outside the normal package! It is equivalent to free traffic.
Note:
The free traffic here does not mean that no traffic is generated. In fact, as long as you use mobile data to surf the Internet, no matter what web page is opened or what app is used, traffic will be generated (as shown by ordinary traffic monitoring tools such as 360); the difference is that the traffic generated by a specific website/software is all counted into the directed traffic package (if it has been If you subscribe to this service), even if this part of the traffic is generated, it will not incur actual phone bill consumption.
That is, free traffic for listening to music on a specific APP = the traffic generated by using a specific APP to listen to music is free.
