New in Paegas Assistant: Secretarial Services

• Paegas Assistant 333 that was introduced already in May 1999 is the only service of its kind on the Czech telecommunications market
• Beside number retrieval, connection schedule and interpreting, Assistant also offers secretarial services
• You only dial 333 and can dictate a fax, SMS or e-mail and have it sent to a given number or address
• Standard customers as well as prepaid Paegas Twist owners can take advantage of the service both in the CR and abroad

Secretarial services offered from mid-August represent another significant extension of the Paegas Assistant 333 services. Beside retrieval of phone numbers, direct connection with the looked-up number, sending off the number as an SMS, call schedule, assembly of multiparty calls and interpreting services, secretarial services are another step in making communication easier for owners of Paegas mobile phones. No other telecommunications operator in the CR offers similar services so far. â?śWhen we started with assistance services in last yearâ??s May, we did not expect them to become as widely used as they are today. People got already used to dialling 333 and being immediately connected with the looked-up number by the operator, and even having it sent as a free SMS,â?ť said the spokeswoman of RadioMobil Tereza Kakosová.

Thanks to the new service everyone can easily send off e-mails, faxes or text messages without having to pick them out on the mobile keypad. You just have to dial 333 (+420 603 123 333 from abroad) and dictate the wording of the message as well as the recipientâ??s number or address. Like this, you can send one fax within the CR, or a text message and an unlimited number of e-mails. â?śPaegas Assistant 333 is cut out for busy working people or for example for drivers who need to use their time effectively. And it is drivers who can communicate not only by voice but also by fax or e-mail without putting their hands off the wheel. However, we recommend customers to stop if a call requires more attention,â?ť Tereza Kakosová added.

Even though this service was originally designed for Paegas customers only, due to high interest of public it was also made accessible from other phone networks through a special number 0603 123 333. For customers calling from other domestic networks, operators will look-up the number of a Paegas customer and put them through immediately.

Paegas Assistant now offers the following services:

• Retrieval of phone numbers according to address and activity field from various databases (Paegas, ÄŚeský telecom, Edit, Gurmánâ??)
• Sending the retrieved number as an SMS
• Direct connection with the looked-up number
• Scheduling a connection for a specific time
• Connection of a multiparty call with up to 24 participants
• Scheduling a multiparty call for a given time
• Connection within the CR as well as international
• Interpreting services
• Information SMS for roaming customers in the CR
• Secretarial services - dictating and sending off an e-mail, fax or SMS
