- Gift for the customers who will order an air ticket via Paegas
- Paegas Info offers another information source
- Paegas will accompany the premiere of Dark Blue World (Tmavomodrý svÄ?t)
From 1 May, all users of Paegas services can take advantage of new opportunities offered by the Paegas Asistent service. In addition to interpreting you can now ask for a text to be translated and sent to someone. The new service expands the possibilities of the unique telephone interpreting that Paegas, as the only operator in the Czech Republic, has been offering since 1999.
As in the case of telephone interpreting, just call Paegas Asistent on 333 and provide the operator with the following data: e-mail, fax, or telephone number for sending the SMS of the person to whom you wish the text to be sent (this can of course be the sender), and the language into which the text is to be translated. The assistant will arrange a time for the translator to be connected with the caller, who will then dictate the text to be translated directly to the translator. You will pay the rate of 49 KÄŤ excl. VAT per minute charged for the translation only for the time you are in contact with the translator. Remaining call fees are charged on the basis of rates for Paegas Asistent services.
Every customer who orders an air ticket via Paegas Asistent during May will receive a gift in the form of an Atlantis VIP customer card. The prices of air tickets ordered via Paegas Asistent rank among the most favourable in the Czech market.
Two more infochannels have been added to Paegas Info sources. From 2 May, all Paegas mobile phone users can activate new infochannels which will provide them with up-to-the-minute news published on three Economia On-Line servers. Every user who sends an SMS with the key word +Ihned, +Neko or +MaM to 4616 from his/her mobile phone will receive approximately five messages a day from the servers www.iHNed.cz (up-to-date national and foreign business, political and financial information), www.MaM.cz (media, marketing and creativity news prepared by the editors of the specialised weekly Marketing a Media) and www.NovaEkonomika.cz (news and information from the field of the new economy and information technology, novelties from the new economy management, important national and foreign company information). Those Paegas mobile phone users who prefer using WAP services can look up the up-to-date information from the above servers via the main ClickW@P menu (Click Info - News - iHNed - News iHNed / New Economy).
In mid-May, the long-awaited film by ZdenÄ?k and Jan SvÄ?rák called Dark Blue World (Tmavomodrý svÄ?t) will be released in Prague cinemas. The story from the life of Czech pilots was coming to existence with RadioMobils support for nearly two years and the names of its creators as well as main protagonists, be it the famous ones (OndĹ?ej Vetchý, OldĹ?ich Kaiser, Linda Rybová, or Miroslav Táborský) or newly discovered actors (Kryštof Hádek), promise an extraordinary experience. Together with the premiere, the Dark Blue World Endowment Fund line designed to support the Czechoslovak British Royal Air Force members and their close relatives started working. If you want to make a contribution to the foundation, call 0603 60 70 80, listen to a message of ZdenÄ?k SvÄ?rák and OndĹ?ej Vetchý and you will be told the account number to which money can be sent. If you call from your mobile phone, RadioMobil will send you the endowment fund bank connection by means of an SMS after the call has ended. RadioMobil, who is the operator of the foundation line, will donate 5 KÄŤ to the Funds account for each whole message heard. (Callers calls are charged in the same way as regular calls in the Paegas network.)
