Prague, 14 November 2002 â?" Today, T-Mobile customers can start using the Video MMS service allowing them to send video recordings from their mobiles. T-Mobile is further extending its portfolio of services which can be used by customers during their holidays or business trips abroad. With GPRS roaming you can send MMS containing photos plus audio commentaries or texts and also short video recordings from fourteen countries in the world. Moreover, the same price will be charged for sending MMS from abroad and from the Czech Republic. In all those countries, customers can also use the GPRSpeed service allowing them five times faster Internet access and reduction of data communication costs. T-Mobile is the only national operator to offer its customers the GPRSpeed service.

â?śWith the MMS service, our customers will be able to send picture messages right from downhill runs and cosy mountain cottages in the Czech Republic and abroad during this winter. The service is available in nearly all European countries and the USA. The advantage of the service is the opportunity to communicate oneâ??s experiences immediately at the price of only CZK 10, which is lower than the price of sending an ordinary postcard. The fact that we are able to offer this service to our customers quickly also shows the advantage arising from our membership in the international T-Mobile groupâ?ť, says JiĹ?í Hájek, spokesman of RadioMobil.

GPRSpeed, GPRSpeed Plus
GPRSpeed (or GPRSpeed Plus) is intended for all contract customers who have activated GPRS service. The service allows customers faster Internet access via GPRS. In comparison to the standard GPRS transfer, it is now possible to reach a transmission speed, which is five times higher.
