All Paegas tariff users who want to find out the amount of their monthly bill can do so easily and fee of charge by a single SMS message. They just need to send an SMS with the keyword BILL to 4603 (the well-known Infoline number). They will immediately receive the final amount for the billing cycle they have chosen as an SMS. If the user sends an SMS in the format BILL or BILL 0, the amount for the last billing cycle will appear on the display. To find out the amount of the bill for the month before last, it is necessary to send the keyword BILL 1, the keywords BILL 2 â?" BILL 12 mean a request for the bill for the respective preceding month. Each message in this case includes also information on whether the respective amount of bill has already been paid.
All Paegas phone owners will be able to information get on the current happenings at the International Film Festival in Karlovy Vary that takes place from 5 to 14 July 2001. Those whose phones support WAP can find the latest information from the festival at the ClickW@P portal site in the ClickInfo section under MFFKV. Those who do not have a WAP phone can obtain up-to-date information on the festival via Paegas Info. To activate the infochannel, the users just send a short text message with the keyword +FESTIVAL to 4616. They will then receive up-to-date information automatically to their mobile phone displays. Each delivered message costs as little as CZK 1.
Paegas mobile phones can now be used at all 48 stations of the Prague underground. RadioMobil joined forces with the other two operators and all of them together have built up a GSM network in the Prague metro. The network operates in the GSM 900 MHz band, allowing signal usage also to the callers who do not own a dual-band mobile phone. Mobile network operators consider future cooperation in a possible extension of the signal in the tunnels of the Prague metro.
