Paegas Virtual Private Network Will Make Calling Easier and Will Allow to Set Calling Rights for All Company Employees

• Thanks to the Paegas Virtual Private Network, the users will save even more than before
• The number of clients using the Paegas Virtual Private Network has increased by almost 700%

The companies that are using RadioMobilâ??s services can now use their mobile phones with an even greater comfort and more advantages than before. From now, RadioMobil offers its corporate clients even more developed services of the Virtual Private Network. This network, to put it simply, works as a wireless PBX that allows its customers not only to call easier, but at the same time to get a greater overview of all corporate telephone calls.

â?žThe interest of companies in RadioMobilâ??s services is growing, only last year the number of Paegas Virtual Private Network users increased by almost 700%,â?ť says the Managing Director of RadioMobil Roland Mahler. â?śRadioMobil currently provides its services for organisations and companies such as the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic, Danone, Nestlé, Allianz, Union Banka, Compaq, Mercedes, ÄŚeská pošta (Czech Postal Service), Ogilvy & Mather, Wurth or Pepsi Cola.â?ś

In addition to the possibility of creating their own number plans with the use of a short dial, the owners of companies using the services of the Paegas Virtual Private Network can set options for incoming and outgoing calls. They will thus obtain a very detailed overview of numbers which are called from corporate telephones and at the same time they can set calling rights for individual numbers or area codes. (The right to dial particular telephone numbers can even differ depending on the employeesâ?? working hours.)

The company will achieve substantial financial savings due to substantially more advantageous rates for calls within the network (and calls on five predefined Paegas numbers outside the company) but especially the possibility to distinguish between private and corporate telephone calls. By simply dialling a star on their mobile phone, the employees themselves mark private calls which gives him/her the opportunity to call other than business numbers.

Within this service, RadioMobil offers an absolutely unique way of paying for private calls. The company owner who allows his/her employees to use their mobile phone for private purposes, does not need to deal with complicated debiting of charges for private calls. With the Paegas Virtual Private Network it is very simple to arrange that private calls be debited directly from the credit of the Twist prepaid service. The customer will then, as every other user, recharge his/her private credit by means of Twist coupons or via an ATM.

Another innovation that will bring the subscribers to the Virtual Private Network large financial savings is the possibility to set calling rights also for selected incoming calls when using roaming in foreign countries. In such case, the user of the Paegas Virtual Private Network can select particular numbers from which he/she wants to receive calls. Other callers than those included in the selected list will not be connected with the recipient and the Paegas Virtual Private Network user thus does not needlessly pay for incoming roaming calls. It is also possible to set for an individual user not only from whom the call may be received but also directly influence in which countries not to receive any calls.

The biggest advantages for Paegas Virtual Private Network (VPN) user:

• Possibility to create an own number plan
  (Every customer can create his/her own number plan within his/her VPN. Individual network users can then be reached under a short dial.)
• Cost saving thanks to special tariffs within the VPN
  (VPN users can call among them and on five selected Paegas telephone numbers for a substantially more advantageous tariff.)
• Setting of access rights for individual calls
  (The VPN owner can set more detailed calling rights for incoming and outgoing calls.)
• Possibility to distinguish between private and corporate calls and possibility to charge private bills by means of the Paegas Twist prepaid service
  (Corporate and private calls can be easily distinguished within the VPN and charged either via an invoice or the Paegas Twist prepaid services)
• Possibility of automatic directing of all international calls Paegas I-Call
  (As the rates for calls via Paegas I-Call are more advantageous in comparison with the standard international calls, this setting enables savings on international calls.)
