New tariff plans: communicate with your loved ones without any limitations

  • Free calls and text messages to five numbers from any network
  • Promo event - 50% discount on the new tariff plans for three months

Prague, 14 January 2009 - On Sunday, 18 January, T-Mobile is launching brand-new, unique tariff plans tailored to suit the needs of every customer. Community-based tariff plans offer totally free calls and text messages to five friends or family members, no matter which network they are in. Innovated products and services have also been prepared for classic credit-based tariff plans or additional bundles. Moreover, T-Mobile customers will be able to choose any handset from the current portfolio for a subsidized price together with the HIT add-on.

"According to statistics, more than 60% of phone calls and text messages are made to a maximum of five phone numbers. Therefore we have prepared tariff plans that are tailored to best suit the needs of our customers - free, unlimited calls and text messages to five numbers in any network," says Petr Dvořák, Executive Vice President Marketing at T-Mobile, adding: "We have also simplified the structure of credit-based tariff plans, so we are basically entering 2009 with a completely new offer for residential customers."

Unlimited calls and SMS to friends and family members
Starting on Sunday, 18 January, T-Mobile's offer will be extended to include four new tariff plans designed primarily for communication with friends and family members. The Přátelé v síti ("Network Friends") tariff plan is suitable for customers whose loved ones use T-Mobile SIM cards. For CZK 300 per month incl. VAT, users can make unlimited calls and send an unlimited number of text messages to five T-Mobile numbers. Calls to other networks will cost CZK 4.90/min., a text message CZK 1.20. Picture messages can also be sent at the very favorable rate of only CZK 4.90/MMS, which is one of the lowest rates in the Czech Republic. (All prices include VAT.)

With the Přátelé síť nesíť ("Friends from Any Network") tariff plan, T-Mobile customers can make calls and send text messages at favorable rates to five of their friends and family members even if they do not use T-Mobile. The monthly fee for this plan is CZK 500. Calls to numbers other than the selected five will be charged at CZK 3.90/min., text messages at CZK 1.20/SMS.

If activating the Přátelé síť nesíť+ ("Friends from Any Network+") tariff plan (CZK 750 per month), customers will not only be able to contact their five selected friends from any network without limitations, but their calls to other than the five selected numbers will be charged at only CZK 1.90 per minute, which is the lowest price charged within a tariff plan on the Czech market. (All prices include VAT.)

For CZK 750 per month, up to five subscribers from the T-Mobile network will be able to make unlimited calls among themselves for CZK 0/min. Calls to other numbers will be charged to the responsible tariff-plan user at CZK 3.90/min., text messages to all addressees at CZK 1.20/SMS (all prices include VAT). When making calls and sending SMS to numbers outside the group, the other members of the "family" will pay the prices according to their respective tariff plans.

TOP and TOP+
Clients who use their mobile phones really intensively will also have an offer to choose from. The TOP and TOP+ tariff plans give their users absolute freedom to decide how they will use their credit - whether for calls within the Czech Republic, text or picture messages, or for international calls and data transfers. For example, a picture message will cost a mere CZK 2.50, which is clearly the lowest price in the Czech Republic.

As is the custom with T-Mobile, customers will not lose their unused credit; it is rolled over forever. When signing a two-year contract, customers who so wish can get a subsidized handset or the HIT add-on (20% extra credit).

50% discount for three months
Everyone who signs a fixed-term contract for any of the selected tariff plans (and also BAV SE, BAV SE with Mých5 plans, etc.) by the end of March will get a 50% discount on the respective monthly fee for three months. This promotional offer is valid from 19 January until 31 March 2009. Also, customers who activate the tariff plans via the T-Mobile's e-shop will save an additional 20% off their monthly fee for six months. In total, customers can save up to 70% off their monthly fees during three months.

Redesigned credit-based tariff plans
T-Mobile truly has something to offer to everyone. Those who were not attracted by the offer designed for communication with family members or friends can try some of the innovated credit-based tariff plans. Effective 18 January, T-Mobile will simplify the structure of these tariff plans while preserving their main advantages - unlimited transferability of credit, which can be used for making calls and sending text and picture messages, possibility to obtain 20% extra credit (HIT variant), favorable flat prices of calls, text and picture messages.

With the new tariff plans (Friends, Family, credit-based), customers can also get a subsidized phone together with the HIT add-on (free credit in the amount of 20% of the monthly fee or 20% extra credit). This offer is conditioned by signing a 36-month contract. Naturally, customers may still choose to sign a two-year or open-ended contract if they so wish.

Customers up to the age of 26 may use the BAV SE or BAV SE with Mých5 tariff plans.

The existing minute-based and credit-based tariff plans (with the exception of Kredit 150/HIT) will no longer be offered to new customers.

New add-ons available with new tariff plans
Those who think that the free credit will not be enough and do not want to be limited when using their phones can select from among three new bundles. These bundles are intended for use within the T-Mobile network and may be activated with all tariff plans mentioned above.

Víkend Nonstop (CZK 175 per month) offers free calls on weekends and public holidays. With the Mimo špičku Nonstop ("Off-Peak Nonstop") add-on (CZK 299), customers can enjoy unlimited calls on Saturdays and Sundays as well as in the evening and during the night on weekdays (from 7:00 p.m. until 8:00 a.m.). Those who love sending text messages can now go on a texting spree with the SMS Nonstop bundle (CZK 175) and enjoy unlimited texting 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The prices are quoted in CZK incl. VAT; the benefits provided as part of the add-ons are applied before the credit available under the tariff plans.
