Why are network operators in Vietnam always sending unsigned messages for users?

Whether using the subscription of any major network operator in Vietnam such as Viettel, MobiFone or Vinaphone, you will easily notice a phenomenon that messages coming from the switchboard are mostly in Vietnamese without accents. In addition, not only the operators but also the enterprise switchboards still use the text message with this “brick-and-mortar phone language”.

Although the language used is easy to understand and the “translation” is completely not difficult for general users, this still leaves us wondering “Why was it in the 4.0 era, but the carriers still Texting like a phone button? ”

In fact, the carriers have never given an official answer to this question. Therefore, we can only guess from previous information and deduce the real reason behind.

According to some tech savvy users discussed on forums, the first reason is probably because although smartphones are now extremely popular, some old phones or foreign phones don’t support them. Support may still encounter errors in displaying accented Vietnamese because of font errors.

Apart from this, the second most likely reason comes from network bandwidth. Specifically, some members explained that composing accented messages costs more characters than regular messages, and accordingly the capacity of each message will also be multiplied. For individual users, sending a few messages does not matter, but for the network operator, processing hundreds of thousands, even millions of messages with large capacity at once can cause network congestion, messages do not. can be sent or delayed, even at an extra cost.

Thus, it can be summarized that the reason that Vietnamese operators still text unsigned Vietnamese messages next to some marked messages is simply because of the data transmission problem, as well as for all users. You can receive notifications easily.
