Leading Czech Operator Offers Its Customers More

It was just at the end of May that EuroTel announced its jubilee seven hundred thousandth customer, and now, already, at the beginning of July, this number has shot to over 750,000. Thus, EuroTel is picking up more than 1,500 customers every day, the most dynamic growth in comparison to the competition in the Czech Republic.

”EuroTel continues to be the most rapidly developing Czech operator, because it offers its customers the highest quality services at affordable prices. So we prepared very well for this time of holidays and vacations, and with our GO Roaming offer, we have made travel more pleasant for our customers. No one had ever before offered such freedom while travelling, especially to young people,” says Ed Kingman, the EuroTel Managing Director.

EuroTel offers its customers the broadest selection of pre-paid GO sets: the GO HIT (Siemens C10), the GO FUN (Alcatel One Touch Max), and the GO STAR (Philips Savvy, the first mobile phone in the world to send image text messages). New this summer, EuroTel is offering the GO STYL (Ericsson GF 768 handset). GO customers, too, can take advantage of the unique SuperSound service, which provides the clearest sound during calls, and on top of that, the customer gets this service FREE OF CHARGE! No one else in the Czech Republic offers this above-standard, high technology service.

Our customers want true quality, so they go to EuroTel. Because they know that only through EuroTel will they get true quality. All they need to do is set themselves up with concepts such as SuperSound, the competitive advantage in the longer validity period of GO cards, GO Roaming, or the ISO 9001 quality certification.

The fact that the obligatory report to ČTÚ (Czech Telecommunication Office) concerning the development and quality of EuroTel services was delivered two weeks in advance, proves the fulfilling of the license conditions. The report significantly proves that EuroTel exceeds all the quality parameters, as always.

Of course, we have also been thinking about our GSM Global customers, for whom we have prepared a summer offer of deposit-free roaming. Customers can take advantage of this offer starting in June, and they need not limit themselves in choosing vacation destinations.

”EuroTel places no limitations on its customers, and in contrast to the latest offers on the market, the offer for deposit-free roaming applies for all of our customers, and for all the countries with which we have closed roaming agreements,” adds Iva Ta?ounová, the EuroTel press Spokesperson.

”We have the interests and needs of our customers in mind all year long, and the ever expanding, high quality services that EuroTel provides are irrefutable proof of this. Summer is a somewhat exceptional period, with many people travelling more than they usually do, so our offers spring from our efforts to make mobile communications available to the greatest number of people possible, at affordable prices, while maintaining indisputably high quality service,” Iva Ta?ounová adds.

EuroTel Praha Ltd is a joint venture of SPT TELECOM Inc. (51%) and Atlantic West B.V. (49%). Atlantic West B.V. is equally owned by Bell Atlantic (NYSE:BEL) and MediaOne International, which is a part of MediaOne Group (NYSE:UMG).
