T-Mobile SMS contest: customers can win a trip for two persons to see a Spain - Czech Republic football match

• Forty-nine other contestants will receive the Czech national-team football jerseys
• Two tickets for the price of one including transportation to the match between the Czech Republic and Liechtenstein

Prague, 7 March 2011 ? T-Mobile has prepared an SMS contest for football fans that will take place from 7 March to 13 March 2011. The contest questions were prepared in cooperation with football players on the Czech national team and the winner will be awarded a trip for two persons to a match between the defending European and world football champions, Spain, and the Czech Republic in Granada on 25 March 2011. The winner will fly with the entire national team. Football jerseys will be awarded to 49 other contestants. 

The rules are simple: fans can register with an SMS in the form of FOTBAL START sent to 9001103. They will then receive a free SMS with contest questions. The fifty fastest contestants with correct answers will receive a prize. The decisive factor is the time between receiving the text message with the questions and sending the answers; this way contestants who enter the contest on the last day still have a chance to win. 

The more correct answers the contestant sends, the more chances he/she has to win. The contest is open without any limitations to customers using the services of any operator. The price of one answer SMS is CZK 3 (incl. VAT). The winners will be informed of the results via SMS on 15 March. 

In addition, football fans can look forward to the "Buy One, Get One Free" offer for tickets to the match between the Czech Republic and Liechtenstein that will take place on 29 March 2011 in České Budějovice. The offer includes transportation on the luxury T-Mobile football express bus, with refreshments served onboard, and national team jerseys. Fans that book a paid seat on the bus and a ticket to the match will get a free ticket and a seat on the bus for a friend. 

By using the website at www.facebook.com/TMCZ, football enthusiasts can influence the list of places from which microbuses will be dispatched. Any town or city can be nominated, but only those that are among the first ten to be registered will be shortlisted. The T-Mobile football express bus will then set off to the five places where all twelve seats (or, more precisely, six paid seats) were reserved first. 

Reservations will be made only after the specific five cities are announced. Customers will then have three days to pay for their bookings.
