New tariff plans for small and medium enterprises

• One credit for the entire company: maximum flexibility, optimization of costs
• Virtual Private Network free of charge
• Calls within Europe for as little as CZK 9.90/min.

Prague, 28 April 2009 - The way of using mobile communications services has changed significantly in recent years: businessmen and their employees travel more frequently, and the importance of cross-border communication and data services has been increasing. Yet, the volume of communication is not as stable as in the case of residential customers, but depends on the volume of business or contracts. T-Mobile is therefore launching new tariff plans for small and medium enterprises called Firma tariff plans. They offer maximum flexibility and optimize the costs of telecommunications services.  

The new tariff plans have one unique feature - one credit for the entire company that can be used for a wide range of services, which are charged at favorable prices: calls within the corporate VPN (the Private Network service) at CZK 0, domestic calls starts at CZK 2/min., calls in Europe are priced at CZK 9.90/min., SMS at CZK 1.50 and MMS at CZK 5.00. 

"We know that our customers pay increased attention to cost cutting these days. Therefore we are introducing tariff plans that allow our customers to optimize costs of telecommunications services," explains Petr Dvořák, Executive Vice President Marketing at T-Mobile, adding: "Our new tariff plans can be best characterized as simple and flexible - credit that is not used by one customer can be used by another, unused credit rolls over to the following billing period and customers may simply add or remove SIM cards to and from the tariff plan. In addition, individual SIM cards can use different add-ons and packages. During the entire term of the contract, the new tariff plans can be thus easily changed as the company's needs change."

One credit for the entire company: simplicity and flexibility
The new tariff plans for small and medium enterprises are as simple as possible - the entire company uses one tariff plan. The free credit, ranging from CZK 3,000 to 18,000, is shared by the selected number of SIM cards used by the company for which the tariff plan was activated. This solution optimizes the use of the credit and the total costs of telecommunications services. Credit not used by one employee can be used by his colleagues. Unused credit rolls over to the next period in which it is used before the new credit starts to be used. The total amount of available credit can be easily increased by CZK 1,500 using the new Kredit 1500+ bundle priced at CZK 1,200 (CZK 1,428 incl. VAT).

The credit can be used for a wide range of services:

• Calls to mobile and fixed-line networks in the Czech Republic,
• SMS to all destinations (both national and international),
• MMS,
• International calls within Europe (zones 1 to 4),
• GPRS Internet/Intranet,
• GPRS WAP.

Individual SIM cards can use the traditional add-ons, such as Surf+, Internet+, Pevná mimo špičku ("off-peak calls to fixed-line numbers"), etc.

Customers may switch between individual tariff plans free of charge; a fee is only charged when switching from a higher tariff plan to a lower one during the first year of the contract term.

Favourable prices of services + Virtual Private Network free of charge
With the Firma tariff plan, customers receive a virtual private network free of charge. The virtual private networks allows users to call to all SIM cards included in the corporate network at CZK 0/min., to differentiate between private and business calls and create their own numbering plan using short numbers. 

The prices of calls within national networks start at CZK 2/min. Other services are charged a the same rates under all tariff plans: SMS - CZK 1.50, MMS - CZK 5.00, calls within Europe - CZK 9.90, which represents a price reduction of up to 60% compared to the price of international calls offered under older tariff plans.
