Prague, 29 April 2009 - As the summer vacation time is approaching, T-Mobile is introducing a new benefit provided with the Cestovatel (Traveler) roaming add-on. During the period from 1 May until 31 July, all users of this add-on will be able to enjoy free incoming calls and send text and multimedia messages at more favorable rates, i.e. CZK 5 and CZK 10 respectively (incl. VAT). In addition, this add-on will also be available in popular holiday destinations of Greece and Bulgaria.
"The main holiday season is fast approaching and we want to offer our customers something to make their trips abroad more enjoyable, whether by reducing prices or providing the Cestovatel add-on in countries other than those where it is normally available," says Martina Kemrová, spokesperson for T-Mobile.
The Cestovatel roaming add-on offers favorable rates in the countries where T-Mobile operates, i.e. Montenegro, Croatia, Hungary, Macedonia, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Austria, Slovakia, Great Britain, and the USA. Calls within the visited country and to the Czech Republic are charged at CZK 4.76/min. incl. VAT plus a flat call set-up fee of CZK 34.51 incl. VAT.
Incoming calls are normally charged at the price of the set-up fee of CZK 34.51 incl. VAT. However, from 1 May until 31 July 2009, incoming calls while roaming will be completely free of charge.
Travelers will also benefit from reduced rates for text messages and multimedia messages. As of 1 May, the price for a text message will be reduced from CZK 5.95 to CZK 5.00 incl. VAT. A multimedia message sent from a country where T-Mobile has its network will be charged at CZK 10 incl. VAT regardless of which network it is sent from.
The number of countries where Cestovatel can be used has been extended to also cover Greece and Bulgaria. This favorable roaming add-on is thus now available in 13 countries.
