We are planning to develop the push notification service for a telecom operator. But I haven't got any information whether the APNS push service is free of cost or should we make any payment?
My questions are,
It's also free to use. Like Google or Facebook, the data your notifications provide to OneSignal are the reason it's free to use, however they won't be sending ads to your users. You can sent mobile push notifications, web push notifications, in-app notifications, as well as email notifications.
Use the location push type for notifications that request a user's location. If you set this push type, the apns-topic header field must use your app's bundle ID with . location-query appended to the end. For more information, see Creating a Location Push Service Extension.
Long answer As an end-user receiving push notifications, our iPhone, iPad, Android, and Desktop clients are free to try for 30 days. After 30 days, you'll need to purchase a $4.99 USD license for each platform you wish to use it on.
Apple does not charge a separate fee for utilizing the push notification service.
Your only cost is a server that will be sending the push notifications to Apple. There are third-parties that provide this servers and there is a fee for that.
Answer for your question 1,2 and 3 is: Apple doesn't charge you for APNS - but you have to maintain a server for pushing.
Try these third parties for pushing,
It can send 250 million push messages / hour and PushWizard is free for unlimited devices, while other services can be very expensive if you have more, than 1 million users to reach at least ONCE per month.
You need just copy and paste a few line codes to inside of your application and then magic will be started. After that you can start to watch, analyze, categorize your clients and you can send push messages to them as well as resource messages.
