New price list for the Twist customers

Prague, 31 December 2003 - As of 1 January 2004, there are new end prices applying to the Twist tariffs. This change of prices reflects the resolution of the Czech Parliament based on which the VAT rate on most services will be changed from the current 5% to 22%, effective 1 January 2004. The new prices of all Twist tariffs (with the exception of Twist Extra) were calculated as follows: the end prices were increased by the change of the VAT rate and rounded to the nearest ten hellers.

The rates in respect of which the end price is, due to rounding, higher than the VAT increase are balanced by the rates which are, on the contrary, lower than rates fully reflecting the transfer of the VAT on the customer.

The Twist Extra tariff was completely amended in order to better reflect the call structure and needs of users. For example, it offers phone calls to fixed lines charged at the same price as calls to the T-Mobile network - a call made in peak is charged at CZK 4.50/minute instead of CZK 7.
