Prague 6 March 2007 - Effective 14 March 2007, T-Mobile is introducing new prepaid tariff plans: Twist Start, Twist ProSMS and Twist Týden. The new tariff plans offer lower prices for SMS and flat rates for calls applicable any time during the day. Customers using the current prepaid tariffs Twist Standard, Twist SMS and Twist Extra can switch to the new tariff plans; they can change their tariff once free of charge following the launch of the new tariffs.
Twist Start
Twist Start is the basic tariff which offers a compromise between the price for calls and SMS. This tariff will be set as the default tariff on new SIM cards. With Twist Start, customers can make calls to all networks all day long for a flat rate of CZK 5.90/min. incl. VAT. SMS will be charged at CZK 2.90 incl. VAT.
Twist ProSMS
Twist ProSMS is intended for SMS fans, offering the lowest price for SMS on the prepaid-tariff market: CZK 1.90 incl. VAT per SMS. However, we haven't forgotten that these customers also make calls and therefore the calling rate has been reduced compared with the original Twist SMS tariff - to CZK 6.90/min. incl. VAT (the price was reduced by CZK 0.60/min. incl. VAT). This price applies to calls made to all networks.
Twist Týden
Twist Týden is intended for customers who frequently send text messages and make calls within the T-Mobile network and to fixed-line networks. For a weekly fee of CZK 19 incl. VAT, they can send text messages for CZK 1.90 incl. VAT and their calls within the T-Mobile network and to fixed-line networks will be charged at the favorable rate of CZK 3.50/min. incl. VAT. Calls to other mobile networks are charged at CZK 5.90/min. incl. VAT.
