As China is to lower the mobile phone fees starting from next month, consumers reacted differently to the newly reduced ceilings for mobile phone roaming fees.

Most of them believe the cut will bring more benefits to the mass users.

''When I was on business trips, the roaming fees were quite high. Now I think it is much cheaper.''
But some think there is still much room for further reduction.

''The standard should be cut more. Nowadays mobile phones are widely used, so we hope policies can benefit us at present and in the future. ''

China announced this week that the country will reduce the ceilings on mobile phone domestic roaming fees, amid complaints from users about the high price.

According to the new policy, outbound calls are charged at 0.6 yuan, or 8 US cents, per minute, while inbound calls price was reduced to 0.4 yuan, or about 5 US cents, per minute.

The pricing scheme is required to take effect starting on March 1.
