After activating Twist Extra, a monthly fee of CZK 59 is deducted from the customerâ??s credit (if activating the tariff from 15th day of a month onwards, the fee is CZK 29.50), after which the favourable Twist Extra rates apply. If the customerâ??s credit is not high enough as of the first day of the subsequent month, the Twist Standard tariff is automatically reactivated free of charge.
T-Mobile Twist customers can choose from three tariffs â?" Twist Standard, Twist SMS and Twist Extra. They can select the desired tariff via an automated voice system by calling 4601. A tariff change from or to Twist Extra is always free of charge, and so is the first change of any of the other tariffs.
Wap competition with t-zones
The competition takes place from 2 till 15 September and can be found on WAP in the t-zones menu in the Aktualne section. On 2 September, users will find a clue for question number one there. Every other day of the competition, one knowledge-based question concerning the t-zones portal will be asked. The question will appear on the portal on the given day at a random time, from 8am to 6pm. The task of the participant is to answer the question correctly immediately after it appears on the portal. A clue for the next question will be published during the period between the individual answers. Those who read the clue will have a head start on the other participants. If a participant answers the question correctly and is among the first twenty to answer the question on that particular day, he or she will receive a t-zones T-shirt.
All participants who have answered the question correctly, i.e. including those who were not among the first twenty winners, can take part in a guessing competition. The answers to the guessing question will be evaluated at the end of the competition and those who are closest to the reality will win a Twist set with Siemens MT50; other participants close to the right answer will receive T-Mobile jackets and sports bags. If the answers of several participants are identical, the winner will be the one to have answered the question first.
Every T-Mobile customer can take part in an arbitrary number of rounds within the competition (7 in total). In each of the rounds, he or she can answer the knowledge-based question concerning the t-zones portal only once. At the same time, every participant may answer the guessing question in each of the rounds. All guesses of each user will be taken into account in the final evaluation, nevertheless, each participant may only receive one prize in the guessing competition.
Lists of the winners of each round will be published on www.t-zones.cz during the competition. The guessing part will be evaluated after the end of the competition and the winners will be also published on www.t-zones.cz. All winners will be contacted by the T-Mobile Infoline. Anyone over 18 may enter the competition.
