Paegas Hit Will Save 20 % of Each Call and Paegas Víkend Brings Weekend Calls within Paegas Network for 1 KÄŤ/min

  • Activation of a selected tariff program with the Paegas Hit advantage is completely free of charge
  • The innovation called Paegas Hit makes all regular present tariff programs more advantageous
  • Zero activation fee if the client does not want a subsidised mobile phone
  • Thanks to the Paegas Víkend advantage it is possible to call within the GSM Paegas network for 1 KÄŤ/min on Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays
A marked price reduction is being brought by the new program called Paegas Hit. Those who will take advantage of this program will save 20% of the price of regular calls in the Czech telecommunication networks every month. Until now, only customers who have bought the Nonstop service for 154 KÄŤ per month in addition to the regular tariff could get the same discount. â?śWe always try to offer our clients the best proportion of the provided services to prices. I believe that Paegas Hit will become a very popular service both among our present clients whose contracts are just terminating and among the owners of prepaid services. It will also definitely draw new customers,â?ť said the Marketing Director of RadioMobil Robert Chvátal. From the beginning of March, there is a zero activation fee for regular Paegas tariff programs if the customer does not take advantage of the opportunity to buy a subsidised mobile phone for a special price for new customers (for prices starting at 1 KÄŤ).

Every customer who has a contract for an indefinite period and whose contract is just terminating can activate the Paegas Hit program. A new customer can activate the service with any of the tariff programs without having to pay an activation fee, if he/she does not take advantage of the offer of subsidised telephones for a special price (starting at one crown). Along with the activation of the Paegas Hit advantage the client will either extend the existing contract for two more years, or conclude a new contract with RadioMobil for two years.

Paegas Hit is also interesting for the owners of prepaid cards Paegas Twist who already have a telephone. If they change for a tariff program, they will be charged interesting prices, will not pay any fee and their phone number will remain the same. With a tariff program, they can also obtain up to three further SIM cards for free thanks to the Paegas Partner program, save on calls to all destinations (not only within the Paegas network as is the case with Twist Nej) thanks to the Paegas Nej service, use simple roaming and obtain lower prices of both calls and text messages. And all clients can any time choose from the range of advantageous telephones for the present customers, the updated version of which can be found on page two of the Dialog bulletin that is sent to the customers along with the statement of services.

With the Paegas Víkend advantage, a call within the GSM Paegas network will cost only 1 KÄŤ/min (excl. VAT) on weekends. Similarly as with Paegas Hit, this service can be activated by every customer who has a contract for an indefinite period or whose contract is just terminating. Paegas Víkend is also advantageous for new customers who can choose it as an addition to any tariff program and who do not want to take advantage of the offer of subsidised telephones for a special price for new clients. As opposed to the Paegas Hit advantage, the customer extends the existing contract or concludes a new contract only for the period of one year. Moreover, the price of all other regular calls will be reduced by 20 percent, if they also activate the Nonstop service. â?śThis is basically a significant extension of our offer and a substantial step to make the standard Paegas tariff programs more accessible. Demanding customers who use their mobile phones for business purposes will find Paegas Hit more convenient, other people will prefer the advantage brought by Paegas Víkend,â?ť remarked Robert Chvátal.

The user of a regular tariff program with a contract for an indefinite period or shortly before the termination of a fixed-term contract can choose from the following options: 1. Take advantage of the new Paegas Hit program and sign a two-year contract. 2. Take advantage of the new Paegas Víkend program and sign a one-year contract. 3. Take advantage of the Mobil Extra offer and choose from the offer of subsidised telephones for special prices for new customers (for the prices starting at 1 KÄŤ) for a 1 999 KÄŤ fee (incl. VAT) and sign a two-year contract. 4. Take advantage of the offer to double the number of points within the Paegas Bonus program and sign a two-year contract.

A new customer can either buy any handset for a special price (starting from 1 KÄŤ) with a standard activation fee or take advantage of the first or the second offer.

The owner of the prepaid card Paegas Twist can take advantage of the first as well as the second offer, and change this way for a regular tariff program.
