Data Roaming Bundles: EU Rates Remain Valid for the Whole World

T-Mobile has decided to extend the validity of its special summer roaming offer, which was originally valid from 16 June to 31 August 2014, for two months. The Internet v zahraničí na den (Internet Abroad for One Day) and Internet v zahraničí 100 MB (100 MB Internet Abroad) data bundles thus remain available worldwide for the rates valid for Zone 1 (EU, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein) until 31 October 2014.

“Our customers' response to the summer special offer was very positive. We have therefore decided to extend the validity of this benefit,” says Dana Tomášková, Vice President Resident Marketing at T-Mobile, adding: “Our intention is to allow customers to enjoy our data services at very favourable rates also while abroad.”

Customers can choose from two bundles: Internet v zahraničí na den (including a data allowance of 5 MB or 30 MB and valid for 24 hours) and Internet v zahraničí 100 MB (valid for 30 days). The bundles are charged for immediately after being ordered and are renewed only if they are reactivated by the customer after the allowance is used up or the validity period expires. In the case of the one-day option, customers will first pay CZK 24 and will pay the full price of CZK 70 for the bundle only if they use up the 5 MB data allowance.

Additionally, starting on 16 June customers have full control over their roaming data bills. When opening a browser in their mobile device while roaming, customers will automatically be directed to a free landing page, where they can activate one of the two bundles described above (prepaid Twist card users can only activate the Internet v zahraničí na den bundle) or select the option of paying for data based on the downloaded volume. If they do not decide for any of these options, roaming data services will not be activated and will therefore not be charged.

Use of roaming services is traditionally the highest in summer and has been growing steadily in recent years. As compared with the previous year, the number of T-Mobile customers' calling minutes while roaming increased by 10% and the number of text messages grew by 3% in June and July this year. The largest increase by far was reported in the consumption of data roaming services, up 60%, with a further increase expected in August.

T-Mobile Czech Republic has been operating in the Czech market since 1996, and has been a member of the international telecommunications group Deutsche Telekom since 2002. As of 30 June 2014, more than 5.9 million customers were using the operator’s mobile services; T-Mobile thus remains the number-one operator in the Czech mobile market. T-Mobile is an integrated operator: in addition to mobile and fixed-line telecommunications services, it offers a broad portfolio of IT services and systems-integration solutions under the T-Systems brand for business customers and public administration authorities.

T-Mobile is long focused on the quality of its services. Independent tests have repeatedly confirmed that T-Mobile is the quality leader in 2G, 3G (UMTS FDD) and LTE data services, as well as in GSM voice services. The company has also received a number of specialist awards for innovative ICT solutions, for example within the IT Project of the Year survey.

Since its establishment, the company has placed emphasis on taking a responsible approach to business and society. T-Mobile has received, among other awards, Employer of the Year, Employer of the Decade, Company of the Year: Equal Opportunities, and the VIA Bona award for the involvement of its employees in philanthropic and volunteer activities.
