O2 Christmas offer for mobile customers

Oct 26, 2009

O2 introduces its Christmas offer for voice service customers. New tariff customers can get a Samsung C3050 mobile phone for CZK 1 when they buy the Samsung S3650 Corby phone together with any O2 NEON tariff or the O2 [:kůl:] tariff. With this they get a 30% discount off the monthly fee for the entire time they are using their selected tariff. Selected additional services will also be half-price for all prepaid customers, and, on top of this, new customers can get a 3 x 50% bonus for top-up credit.

"The Christmas offer is the ideal opportunity to save on monthly fees for mobile services, make unlimited calls to friends and family, and get a favorably priced phone not only for yourself, but also for someone close to you. Prepaid customers can once again enjoy a holiday credit bonus and long-term discounts on services," says Jan Karas, Segment Marketing Director, Telefónica O2.

Offer for postpaid customers

Samsung for a crown

A Samsung C3050 for CZK 1 has been prepared for all mobile services customers who buy a Samsung S3650 Corby phone together with any O2 NEON tariff or the O2 [:kůl:] tariff, or switch from prepaid to postpaid services, between November 2 and December 31, 2009. The Samsung S3650 Corby is just CZK 3,895, but its features are comparable with those of high-end phones. The offer is valid with the signing of a 24-month contract, or the prolongation of an existing contract.

With its original design and touch screen display, the Samsung S3650 Corby has been designed primarily for young users. It emulates the current trends in mobile communications, enabling users to enjoy Facebook and Twitter mobile applications, watch videos on YouTube, listen to MP3s, and tune into the radio. It comes with three interchangeable color cases in one package, in the variants black + white + white with a pattern or black + yellow + yellow with a pattern, which women and girls will especially appreciate.

The Samsung C3050 is advantageous primarily for less technically inclined users who just want a good-looking phone with simple controls. It is ideal for younger and older generations. The standard price of the phone is CZK 2,195. Images of both phones are in the appendix to this press release.

30% on monthly fee

All customers who switch to O2 with their number between November 16 and December 31, 2009 get a 30% discount off the regular monthly fee for any O2 NEON tariff or the O2 [:kůl:] tariff. No time limit applies to the discount so the customer can use the discount throughout a full two years. In the case of the top tariff, O2 NEON XXL, the customer can make unlimited calls to all mobile numbers and fixed lines for CZK 3,900 per month; with the 30% discount, they pay only CZK 2,730 per month. With monthly savings of CZK 1,170, by the end of their 2-year contract they will have saved a total of CZK 28,080.

Offer for prepaid customers

3 x 50% bonus for top-up credit

Everybody who buys a prepaid O2 karta with the O2 NA!PIŠTE or O2 NA!HLAS tariff between November 4 and December 31, 2009, gets a special bonus in the form of 50% additional credit once per month for a period of three consecutive calendar months. In order to get this bonus, they simply need to recharge their credit with at least CZK 300 in one recharge; the first recharge in this amount must take place by December 31, 2009. The maximum amount of the bonus is CZK 3,000; that is, CZK 1,000 per month. The bonus cannot be used for content services, audiotext services, and calls to premium-rate phone numbers. At the same time, the Reward for Top-Up program, in which every customer receives a guaranteed reward with every credit recharge (top-up), continues.

Additional services for half price

All customers get a gift in the form of a 50% discount on additional services O2 Internet on Your Mobile, O2 Pokec na jedno (O2 One-to-One Chat), and O2 Pokec nonstop (O2 Nonstop Chat) with the activation of given services from November 4 to December 31, 2009. The discount is valid for a total of twelve weeks. Therefore, the customer gets O2 Internet on Your Mobile for a weekly fee of CZK 20 instead of CZK 40. The customer can make unlimited calls to one selected number - O2 Pokec na jedno - for just CZK 9.50 per week for a fixed-line number, or CZK 24.50 per week for an O2 mobile number. Then the customer pays merely CZK 15 for the first three minutes and CZK 0.50 for every following minute for calls to O2 mobile numbers and to fixed lines with the O2 Pokec nonstop service.
