"25% Off Mobile Phone Bills Starting Today"? Check Before You Apply

Rumors have been circulating on social media recently claiming that mobile phone bills can be significantly discounted starting today, but is it true?

To give you the conclusion first, you need to be careful as this is fake information.

Recently, messages have been spreading across social media and group chat rooms stating that "mobile phone basic rates have been lowered due to a presidential pledge, allowing users to receive a 25% discount starting today" and that "users must apply directly," along with the actual customer service numbers of the three major mobile carriers.

Because of this, some consumers are experiencing confusion, wondering if they might be missing out on benefits.

However, the 25% discount mentioned in the messages is not a newly implemented policy, but rather the "selective agreement rate discount" system that is already in place.

It is a system where users who do not receive a handset subsidy can get a 25% discount on their monthly plan by signing a contract with their carrier, and the 25% discount rate has been applied since 2017.

As similar fake messages have been repeated multiple times in the past, if you receive a discount notice, it is best to first verify its authenticity through the carrier's official channels.
