New services (not only) for the young

  • T-Mobile Combi: a prepaid card plus additional credit or a handset for a special price
  • BAV SE tariff plan with Mých5: tariff plan with the lowest monthly fee on the market, very cheap calls and free text messages to five numbers in any network

Prague, 14 August 2008 - The summer holidays are drawing to a close. However, going back to everyday life can be made more pleasant for T-Mobile customers if they choose from among our new, interesting services. The BAV SE tariff plan with Mých5 is the cheapest monthly fee tariff plan, making it possible for young people under the age of 26 to make phone calls and send text and picture messages at very favourable prices. The T-Mobile Combi service is intended for a wide range of customers, allowing them to get a prepaid card with all the benefits tariff plans bring.

"When introducing new services, we always try to fulfil the wishes of our customers. T-Mobile Combi will perfectly suit the needs of those who want to use the benefits of standard tariff plans while maintaining full control over their expenses, just as with prepaid cards," says Petr Dvořák, T-Mobile's Executive Vice President Marketing, adding: "The special tariff plan for young people, BAV SE with Mých5, builds on the success of the popular original tariff plan, and now allows sending free text messages and making phone calls at favourable prices to five selected numbers in any Czech network."

T-Mobile Combi
T-Mobile Combi works on the principle of a prepaid card - the customers top up the credit and have perfect control over their phone expenses. But on top of that, they will get all the benefits of tariff plans - a handset for a price starting at CZK 1, or 20% additional free credit every month (under the HIT alternative), plus phone calls, text and picture messages at rates that are as low as those charged under tariff plans.

The use of this offer is conditioned by a contractual obligation of a minimum monthly top-up for a period of 24 months. The credit may be used at any time at the customer's discretion; it does not need to be used during the particular month. This new service is available in the form of the Combi 300 tariff plan where the minimum monthly top-up amount is CZK 300.

The T-Mobile Combi tariff plan, or its HIT alternative, can be activated with an existing or new Twist number and the subscriber contract may be concluded via any of the T-Mobile sales channels. The customers can also choose any of the advantageous Twist packages currently on offer: Twist SMS Víkend 300, Twist NEJ Nonstop, Twist Volání 100 or Girls Talk.

Following successful activation, the customers will receive a confirmation SMS and the first period for fulfilling the obligation starts to run. Five days prior to the end of each monthly period, the customers will receive an SMS informing them of the amount to be topped up and the date by which they are obliged to do so unless they have already topped up the credit.

If the customer fails to top up the minimum amount, he/she is granted a one-month grace period - until fulfilment of the obligation, the services used during this period are billed in accordance with the Twist Start price list. If the customer does not top up the credit during the grace period, the outgoing services are blocked and another one-month grace period commences. If the obligation is not fulfilled during the second additional period, the card is blocked and the user of the T-Mobile Combi tariff plan is charged a penalty equalling the sum of the remaining monthly top-up obligations.

BAV SE with Mých5
A special new service has also been prepared for young people aged 6 to 26. The BAV SE tariff plan with Mých5 offers the lowest monthly fee on the market - CZK 99 incl. VAT - and calls, text and picture messages at very favourable prices. Text messages can be sent to five selected numbers in any of the Czech networks completely free of charge, while phone calls cost only CZK 2.90 incl. VAT per minute. A special Mých5 application that facilitates contact with your closest friends and family members can be activated on handsets that support this service. The new tariff plan is a follow-up to the successful BAV SE plan that is currently used by more than 200,000 customers.

The BAV SE tariff plan with Mých5 is available with a 12-month or 24-month subscriber contract (one tariff plan per one birth-registration number). If the customer signs a two-year subscriber contract, he/she may purchase a handset for a special price. The only condition relevant to entering into a subscriber contract is meeting the age limit; there is no need to submit a confirmation of study, etc. The subscriber contract for a customer under the age of 18 must be signed by his/her legal guardian.

Customers who are currently using the BAV SE tariff plan may switch to BAV SE with Mých5 at any time; if a customer wishes to transfer to this plan from a standard tariff plan, he/she may do so upon extension of the subscriber contract. All other terms and conditions are identical to those of the original BAV SE tariff plan that remains on offer with T-Mobile.
