Free Changeover to Paegas Standard Tariff Program

• Owners of prepaid cards can change to a Paegas standard tariff program completely free of charge
• Twist phone number remains the same after changing to a standard tariff

Starting 1^st February, users of prepaid Paegas Twist services who want to change to a Paegas standard tariff program do not have to pay a 525 KÄŤ one-time fee. Their phone number will of course remain the same. The client can simply choose one out of four different programs that best fits his/her needs and subscribe to RadioMobil. In such case, the changeover to the tariff program will be provided completely for free. â?śIt is quite often the case that users of prepaid Paegas Twist services find out sooner or later that they are using our services more than they originally expected and that a regular tariff would pay off. Now is their choice very simple, because the changeover does not cost a crown,â?ť said the spokeswoman of RadioMobil Tereza Kakosová.

The most affordable RadioMobil tariff program is called Paegas 60. Although it comes to 545 KÄŤ a month, which is more than Paegas 20 for 295 KÄŤ, every user of Paegas 60 can get a second Paegas Partner SIM card with another phone number completely free of charge. At the same time, fees are the same for both cards, for example sending an SMS message always costs one crown. There is a single bill for both, but it gives data for each SIM card separately. In case the client uses a detailed bill s/he gets a separate one for each number. â?śIt is no surprise that Partner witnessed great success with all Paegas users and tens of thousands of them have taken the advantages that Paegas Partner provides. It is being chosen by firms who want to use GSM services effectively as well as by normal customers, for whom Paegas Partner facilitates connection with their closest ones,â?ť said the spokeswoman of RadioMobil Tereza Kakosová. Owners of higher tariffs â?" Paegas 120 and Paegas 300 â?" can get even two Paegas Partner SIM cards, the second one having even more advantageous rates.

Besides, both Partner tariffs are very easily activated. You just call the customer care department (4603, free from Paegas) and order a Paegas Partner card. You receive it in a few days by registered mail. Then you only ask for its activation (again at 4603). Services available to owners of Partner cards are the same as those offered to users of regular tariff programs. If the user knows the password, s/he can freely activate all the services available such as multiparty calls, detailed bill and others. S/he can of course use Paegas Click including ClickBox as well.
