O2 offers a free cocktail of calls and SMS
6.2.2008
All O2 customers can now send one SMS after another and call without any contractual obligations. With the O2 TXT tariff, they can set a real SMS marathon in motion. On the other hand, with the O2 MIX and O2 FAJN tariffs, they can call all O2 mobile numbers and fixed lines absolutely free of charge from Friday to Sunday.
No network can stop you
Everyone who purchases an O2 card with the O2 TXT tariff between February 12 and April 30, 2008 can unleash an SMS whirlwind to all networks. For a bonus of 100 free SMS messages to all mobile networks, these customers simply need to top up their phones with at least CZK 300 in one recharge. Customers can even keep their bonus 100 SMS messages if they switch to the MIX or FAJN tariffs during the given period.
Free calling from Friday to Sunday
Every customer that buys a prepaid O2 card with the O2 MIX or O2 FAJN tariffs gets free calling and video calling to all O2 mobile numbers and fixed lines from Friday to Sunday. All they need to do in order to activate these free calls is top up their phones with a minimum of CZK 300 in one recharge between February 12 and April 30, 2008. To continue using the offer for another four weeks, they only need to top up their credit again with at least CZK 300 anytime during the four weeks during which the service is being used. Customers can use this advantageous offer over a period of four months (4 x 4 weeks).
"We know that it is important for prepaid card users to always have their phones 'ready for action'. In order to ensure that they do not have to worry about the amount of their credit whenever they're using their phones to SMS or speak with others, we are providing them with free calling and a considerable package of SMS messages,"says Jan Karas, Chief Marketing Officer, Residential Segment, Telefónica O2 Czech Republic.
