Does the Mobile Company Charge for Using the Toilet?

Admin September 20, 2026

The mobile company itself does not charge for using the toilet. Here is a detailed explanation:

Firstly, there are some misunderstandings or reports of special situations related to 'mobile' and 'charging for using the toilet', but these have nothing to do with the mobile company charging for using the toilet itself. For example, there have been reports about the CEO of a mobile company encountering a complex charging system similar to mobile phone plans in a public toilet, such as paying one yuan to enter and another eight mao to exit, a so-called 'two-way charging'. This is actually a satirical description of the public toilet charging method and does not mean that the mobile company charges for using the toilet.

Secondly, regarding the controversy over the charging of mobile public toilets in Fuzhou, the 'mobile public toilets' here refer to movable public toilet facilities, not services provided by the mobile company. The adjustment of the charging standards for these public toilets, such as from 6 yuan to 10 yuan, is made by the public toilet management based on factors such as operating costs and market demand, and has nothing to do with the mobile company. Similarly, the situation where someone spent 20 yuan for a single urination due to the countdown of mobile public toilet charging is also a charging behavior of the public toilet management, not the mobile company.

As a communication service provider, the mobile company's main business is to provide mobile communication services, such as voice calls, text messages, and data traffic, and does not involve the construction, management, or charging of public toilets. Therefore, from a business scope and logical perspective, the mobile company has no reason to charge for using the toilet.

In conclusion, the mobile company does not charge for using the toilet. When encountering similar reports, the public should carefully distinguish the information sources and content to avoid misunderstandings or misinformation. At the same time, for the charging issues of public facilities such as public toilets, they should pay attention to the announcements and regulations of the local government or relevant management to understand the accurate charging standards and methods.
