Prague, 21 December 2006 - At T-Mobile, new customers will get an incredible amount of free minutes and SMS even after Christmas. The special offer has been extended to 28 February 2007. Contract customers can still use a package of free minutes and SMS. Twist customers will enjoy weekend and evening calls for as little as CZK 1/min. and a discount of CZK 600 on a new phone.
Unlimited calls and text messaging
Each customer who enters into a new Subscriber Contract (also when porting his/her number from another operator), or switches from Twist to a standard tariff plan with a two-year contract by 28 February 2007, will receive a package of 5,000 free minutes and 5,000 SMS within the T-Mobile network for each month, which is more than 160 free minutes and 160 free SMS per day. This is much more than an average customer normally uses, which practically means that these customers will make phone calls and send SMS within the T‑Mobile network free of charge.
The offer can be used when entering into a contract with the HIT tariff add-on (calls cheaper by 20 percent and SMS for CZK 1/min. excl. VAT), as well as when purchasing a subsidized phone. The number of months during which customers will be able to enjoy unlimited calls and text messaging depends on the tariff plan selected when signing the contract. The minimum period is three months for Tariff T 30/T 30 HIT; the maximum period is two years with Tariff T 1500/T 1500 HIT. The extra minutes can only be used after using up the free minutes offered within the respective tariff plan.
Customers will pay the symbolic amount of CZK 1 for activation, whether concluding a new contract or switching from the Twist tariff plan. The reduction of the standard price of CZK 99 will be in effect until 30 June 2007.

T 30/T 30 HIT | 3 months |
T 80/T 80 HIT | 6 months |
T 160/T 160 HIT | 9 months |
T 300/T 300 HIT | 12 months |
T 600/T 600 HIT | 12 months |
