• The fastest mobile network now available also in Mladá Boleslav, Třinec, Česká Lípa, Dobříš and Starý Plzenec
• Enhanced coverage in Prague and selected regional cities

Prague, 30 November 2010 – T-Mobile"s 3G network is now available in 35 towns and cities. While Mladá Boleslav, Třinec, Česká Lípa, Dobříš and Starý Plzenec have been added to the list, network coverage in other cities, such as Prague, Brno, Ostrava and Plzeň, is now being improved. The fastest mobile internet access is thus available to nearly 36% of the Czech population.

This year, T-Mobile will thus bring the third-generation services to more areas than originally announced. Ninety‑eight percent of residents in Mladá Boleslav, 73% in Třinec, 96% in Česká Lípa, 97% in Dobříš and 96% in Starý Plzenec can now enjoy the most modern network, with these cities becoming the latest but certainly not the last 3G points on the map of high-speed mobile internet access. At the same time, network coverage has been extended in Prague, Brno, Plzeň and Ostrava.

New as well as existing clients can still try the new service free of charge. When ordering the Internet v Mobilu Standard or Internet v mobilu Klasik add-on, contract customers can browse the internet for one month free of charge. For users of prepaid Twist cards, the operator has prepared a free two-week trial of the Twist Surf+ service. The offer applies to the first activation of these bundles.

Thanks to a special-edition of the Twist Internet SIM card for CZK 299 with a data limit of 500MB, customers now also have the possibility to try internet access in their notebooks. The price of the SIM card includes one month of free internet access and customers can top-up their credit for only CZK 249 per month until the end of the year.
