The validity period of the
GO cards is adjusted by extension of the validity from 6 to 18 months! It means that after
the GO card is charged by the GO voucher, the mobile telephone stays functional for the
whole period of 18 months! After the credit is used the phone stays active for incoming
calls and for emergency numbers calling – all this under the condition that the customer
makes at least one call from the EuroTel GO mobile telephone at least once in three
months!
As of 1st April 1999 EuroTel adjusts validity of the prepaid GO cards. It
means that average monthly spending for the EuroTel GO mobile phone represents only 27,70
CZK. Daily operation of the EuroTel GO mobile phone then costs only 90 hellers a day!
The customers can choose from the following prepaid GO sets currently – GO with the
Alcatel One Touch Easy mobile phone, GO PRO with the Nokia 3110 mobile phone and GO HIT
with the Siemens C10 mobile phone.
EuroTel Praha offers the service of short message sending – GO SMS – to all its
customers using the prepaid GO service. After a GO SMS message is sent, the updated credit
appears on the display within approximately 15 minutes. Another unique advantage is that
the GO customers also receive a text message informing them that the amount for the sent
SMS was deducted from their credit. In addition to that the customers can send SMS
messages free of charge through the SMS gate on the
EuroTel Internet page (www.eurotel.cz) !
EuroTel customers can also choose a program in which the operation of the mobile phone
does not cost them anything – a program in the T!P network. EuroTel is the only company
offering a program without any monthly fees – the cheapest service program in the Czech
Republic called T!P TOP! The customers pay only call fee according to valid rates when
they are calling, if they do not call they do not pay anything and can receive calls
without any limitations. In addition to that, customers can try advantages of mobile
communication in the T!P network FREE OF CHARGE thanks to the T!P Test service!
"EuroTel offers indisputably the best value and the highest quality of
services in the market to its customers. The competitive advantage of extending the GO
card validity three times the original period, i.e. to 18 months, is a proof of
that," said Ed Kingman, Managing Director of EuroTel Praha.
