EUROTEL EXCEEDS 700,000 CUSTOMERS
Only months ago EuroTel welcomed its five hundred
thousandth customer, a woman who, in addition to her new mobile phone, walked away with a
half-million crowns and a free holiday in Paris. Now, another 200,000 EuroTel mobile phone
users have joined the ranks, including today the jubilee seven hundred thousandth
customer. EuroTel continues to attract more than 1,000 new customers each day.
”EuroTel continues to be the fastest growing Czech mobile operator because customers
recognize that we offer the highest quality at great prices. Of course, we are committed
to continue to offer the highest quality and value in the Czech Republic,” says Ed
Kingman, the EuroTel Managing Director.
”The reasons for EuroTel’s popularity are simple: only EuroTel provides the
superior quality of SuperSound; only EuroTel offers a tariff with no monthly fee; only
EuroTel offers weekend calls for 1 CZK per minute; and only GO customers have the
advantage of Instant Control,” states Alexander Winkler, the Deputy Managing
Director.
EuroTel takes thorough advantage of the latest developments in information technology and
mobile communications, so that it can be the first to offer its customers new services.
Recently, this has been seen in the Czech Republic in the incomparable SuperSound service,
which provides a marked improvement in transmission quality, and the GO Star set, which
includes the first mobile phone that can attach images to SMS messages - "GO
SMILEYS." Another unique feature is the interactive connection of EuroTel mobile
phones with teletext, which has already been demonstrated to specialists and will go into
customer use in the near future.
”We know that the services that EuroTel was the first to introduce in this republic,
in Europe, and all around the world, constitute our competitive advantage. We can assure
our customers that we intend to continue developing such services, that we will continue
to pay great attention to the individual needs of our clients, and that we will continue
to do everything in our power to ensure their satisfaction,” states Steve Langkamp,
Executive Director of Sales and Marketing..
