Novelties for March: Zero Activation Fee

• Zero activation fee if the client does not want a subsidised mobile phone
• Paegas Hit and Paegas Víkend allow obtaining interesting prices of standard Paegas tariffs
• Paegas Partner offers up to four SIM cards within a single tariff program
• At the end of February, the number of RadioMobil customers exceeded two million

A marked price reduction is being brought by the new program called Paegas Hit. Its users save 20% of the price of regular calls in the Czech telecommunication networks every month. Another novelty - Paegas Víkend - offers weekend calls within the GSM Paegas network for the price of 1 KÄŤ per minute. Every customer who has a contract for an indefinite period and whose contract is just terminating can activate the Paegas Hit program. A new customer can activate the service with any of the tariff programs without having to pay an activation fee, if he/she does not take advantage of the offer of subsidised telephones for a special price (starting at one crown). Along with the activation of the Paegas Hit advantage the client will either extend the existing contract for two more years, or conclude a new contract with RadioMobil for two years. Practically the same conditions apply in the case of the Paegas Víkend program, with the exception that the contract length is one year only. If the customer does not take advantage of the Paegas Hit offer, he/she can always activate the Nonstop service that will reduce the prices of all regular calls by 20 per cent.

Zero Activation Fee
From the beginning of March, there is a zero activation fee for regular Paegas tariff programs if the customer does not take advantage of the opportunity to buy a subsidised mobile phone for a special price for new customers (for prices starting at 1 KÄŤ). The activation fee at the amount of 3675 KÄŤ (incl. VAT) is thus paid only in the case that the customer decides to purchase a subsidised mobile phone. The fee that was formerly paid when changing over from prepaid Paegas Twist services to standard tariff programs was cancelled in the past.

Up to Four SIM Cards within a Single Tariff
Every owner of a regular Paegas tariff program can receive up to four SIM cards with separate telephone numbers. From now, also the owners of the Paegas 20 tariff can receive a second SIM card for free - thanks to the Paegas Partner III offer. The owners of the Paegas 60 tariff can obtain two cards and the users of the highest tariff programs (Paegas 120 and 300) can obtain even three SIM cards for free. The customer pays a single bill for the services but all SIM cards are listed separately.

A Week of Free Paegas Info Services to Celebrate Two Million
During less than five years of its existence, RadioMobil has gained 2,000,000 customers. As a way of saying thanks RadioMobil decided to offer all of its clients the opportunity to use the Paegas Info services free of charge for a whole week. This opportunity starts on Monday, 5 March and is valid until midnight on Sunday, 11 March 2001. During this period, the users pay only for the SMS message sent to order the information and do not pay any fee for the information received within the Paegas Info service. If they order information via the Click website, they will save on sending an ordering text message.
