O2 starts a revolution in mobile communication today
15.5.2008
O2 is the first operator to bring a new concept of tariffs based on the flat rate principle to the domestic market. This means that customers can enjoy the tariff benefits that they choose (e.g. unlimited calling to O2 numbers or numbers in all networks) for one monthly fee, without having to pay anything extra. Therefore, they get greater control over the amount of their mobile phone bill.
The new tariffs have been developed with the intention of appealing to all customers with respect to their calling and message delivery needs, from as little as CZK 300 per month including VAT. The top tariff offers free calling to any number at any time, with no network or time restrictions, for one monthly fee.In addition to these benefits, each tariff includes free units that can be used for calling or sending SMS messages at any time, to numbers in all networks.
Unlike other special offers, the benefits are being provided as a standard part of the tariffs. This means that customers needn't worry that these benefits will be gone after a certain amount of time or that they will have to pay extra fees. They can use the benefits whenever they want, even if they still haven't used up all of their free units.All tariffs have been prepared absolutely transparently, with prices that include VAT and with uniform rates for calling and for sending messages to numbers in all networks, regardless of the day and time.
