T-Mobile SMS Chat (6 - 19 January 2003)
During the above-mentioned period, all T-Mobile customers have the opportunity to enjoy a free discussion on anything they are interested in, anywhere they are, using their mobile phones. They just need to register, i.e. choose a nickname, state if they are male (M) or female (Z) and send this information as an SMS to 5555 in the format .JA_<nickname>_<M/Z>_[description], for example, .JA JOHN M MOBILE MANIAC. Then the user can register in any of the chat rooms by sending an SMS to 5555 in the format .P_[room], for example, .P POKEC. The actual contributions are again sent to 5555 in the format [#room]_[text], e.g., #POKEC HI EVERYBODY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? All subscribers to the particular chat room will receive the contribution to their mobile phones as an SMS.

A list of commands valid for SMS Chat can be obtained by sending SMS in the format .? to 5555; further information about the service can be found on www.t-zones.cz. Customers will not be charged for sent or received SMS within SMS Chat during the Gourmet Weeks.

T-Mobile Logos and Ringtones (20 January - 2 February 2003)
A substantial sample of logos and ringtones has also been prepared on the t-zones portal. Customers will be allowed to select from a number of new logos, ringtones and picture SMS under Ochutnávka zdarma. Just choose one of the motifs offered, and to order it, send an SMS with the abbreviation stated below the respective motif to 5005; for example, to order the "Sloni" logo to Nokia phones, send an SMS containing LOGO SLONI. Motifs can also be sent as a present to your friends and acquaintances - to do so, you have to include the respective phone number in the international format after a space (example: LOGO SLONI +420603123456).

T-Mobile Navigator (3 - 16 February 2003)
The last of our free tasting offers, the Navigator service, is intended for really "hungry" gourmets, since it can help them to find, e.g., the nearest restaurant. In the phone menu, users select Navigator > Služby > Restaurace, and enter the required number of answers (addresses). Navigator will look for the objects in the vicinity without the users having to enter their actual location, and the answers (addresses) will be sent as SMS. The SMS will contain the address, phone number, opening hours or other useful information about the object found. Navigator can find a number of objects located in the vicinity of users, e.g., ATMs, cinemas, clubs, pistes or other places of interest.

Further information about the service can be found on www.t-mobile.cz. During the Gourmet Weeks, customers will not be charged for answers received within the Navigator service, SMS sent within the service will be charged according to respective tariffs of customers.
