- Activation costs only CZK 1 499 when buying an unsubsidized phone
- All users of the Paegas 60 tariff program will save CZK 100 per month and furthermore they can get a second SIM card for free
- Owners of the tariffs Paegas 20, Active, Active Classic and Ekonom will save when calling to the fixed network.
All users of the Paegas 60 tariff program will now save CZK 100 each month, because this is the newest price reduction of the monthly fee. "The Paegas 60 tariff is widely used, because for a low monthly fee it offers 60 minutes of free call time and charges for other calls and for sending SMS short text messages are very low. After reducing the monthly fee and the offer of a second SIM card its popularity will certainly significantly increase even more," the managing director of RadioMobil Klaus Tebbe said.
So far only the users of the Paegas 120 and 300 tariff programs had the possibility to use a second SIM card. Now, also the owners of the Paegas 60 tariff can do that (also applies to older tariffs Active, Active Classic, Ekonom). They can get a second Paegas Partner II SIM card without paying an activation or monthly lump-sum fee. The monthly fee is 545 crowns (w/o 5% VAT). Calls are billed according to the Paegas 60 rate plan.
Both "partner" tariffs can be ordered by phone at the customer care department (4603 - free from a Paegas). The customer receives the SIM card within a few days by registered mail and then he/she only needs to ask for its activation (again by phone at 4603). Services are billed on one invoice, where amounts called on individual SIM cards are divided - and so the user has a record of all cards.
The owner of the partner card can take advantage of the same services as the user of regular tariff programs. If he/she knows the password, he/she can activate all services available e.g. a multiparty call, a detailed bill, etc. without any problems.
When buying an unsubsidized mobile phone, activation costs CZK 1 499 compared to CZK 2 395 as it was until now (prices w/o VAT). The charge further decreases for a purchase of more activations at once.
Starting with May, users of the Paegas 20 programs (and the older Active, Active Classic and Ekonom) will save as well, because the price of calls to the fixed network falls to CZK 8.50 per minute (w/o 5% VAT), in the case of the additional charge service Nonstop at the Paegas 20 tariff it is CZK 6.80 per minute.
