China Post and China Mobile signed agreement
China Post has signed a framework agreement with China Mobile to further their cooperation in market development, resources utilization, business development and technical support.
China Post and China Mobile will cooperate in three ways. First, the two companies will treat each other as key corporate clients and will subsequently offer services at favourite rates. Post offices at different levels will preferentially choose telecom services provided by China Mobile, while subsidiaries of China Mobile will use postal services provided by China Post to deliver their bills. Second, postal outlets at the provincial, municipal, and especially at the county level and lower will act as agents of China Mobile, providing customer services to China Mobile subscribers and payment collection services.
Additionally, a new “mobile post office” service will be launched that allows postal staff to inquire and receive internal information via short messaging services (SMS). The “mobile post office” service will allow customers of China Post to receive SMS notices regarding the status of orders, services or other information from post offices.
