Prague, 11 November 2002 â?" All existing and new T-Mobile customers can compete for â?śrolling crownsâ?ť from 1 till 26 December. In a big Christmas competition, a total of 35 million crowns plus 110 T-Mobile MDAs can be won. There will be 240 daily draws, three weekly draws and one main draw. All contract and Twist customers have the chance to win if they send an SMS with the valid daily keyword to 2412 during the competition and answer the general knowledge question if drawn.

â?śUp until Christmas Day, we will be giving away a million crowns a day. Every hour from 13:00 till 22:00, we will draw a customer who, if his or her answer to a general knowledge question is correct, will receive 100 thousand crowns. The chance to win of course increases with the number of SMS sent. The more SMS with the valid daily keyword the customer sends during an hour, the more chance there is that he or she will be drawn,â?ť says Jiri Hajek, spokesman for RadioMobil.

Competition guidelines
For each day from 1 till 24 December 2002, there will be one keyword (daily keyword) which has to be sent by customers as an SMS to 2412. The current keyword for the given day can be received by the customer via a special infochannel to which users can easily subscribe by sending an SMS with +MELOUN to 4616. The keywords can also be found in the Twist advent chocolate calendar.

To get the crowns rolling, a user just has to send a valid keyword every hour â?" as many times as possible â?" from 12:00 till 22:00. One competitor will be drawn every hour (starting at 13:00 and ending at 22:00). This competitor will be contacted by telephone and if he or she answers a general knowledge question correctly, he or she will receive CZK 100 thousand crowns. The valid keywords sent on the particular day before 12:00 will be included in the first draw at 13:00. If a customer sends an incorrect keyword, he or she will receive an SMS notification; if the keyword is correct, there will not be any notification.

In addition to the hourly prizes, there will be draws for weekly winners on three Sundays (8, 15 and 22 December) and a draw for the main winner on 26 December. The weekly winner will be drawn from all competitors who send at least one daily keyword during the week before the advent draw. All winners who send at least one daily keyword during the entire competition will have the chance to win the main prize. Customers can also compete for the main prize on 25 and 26 December (till 16:00) by sending the keyword valid for 24 December. A correct answer to the general knowledge question is also a precondition for the weekly prizes and the main prize.

Price list and further information
The price for sending an SMS with the keyword costs CZK 5; subscription to the special infochannel is charged based on the customerâ??s tariff, an incoming SMS with the keyword costs CZK 2 (the prices are excl. 5% VAT).
