The new
O2 ZERO mobile tariff that Telefónica O2
introduced to the market in June 2009 has been
enjoyingtremendous interests from customers. As statistics
confirm, around
10,000 people are using the service just one month
later. The O2 ZERO tariff does not limit customers
with time-based commitments or monthly fees. Thanks in part to
this benefit the tariff is successfully addressing a group of
customers who never considered ordering a postpaid tariff until
now.
"Customer interest has surpassed our expectations. O2 ZERO
is not only the ideal tariff for those who don't make many
calls, but also for those who want to stay reachable. It is
also an advantageous alternative for prepaid customers who were
concerned about commitments and monthly fees," states Jan
Karas, Director for Segment Marketing, Telefónica O2, adding,
"At the same time, O2 ZERO can be a solution for security
devices, eliminating the concern of credit recharging or
storage, which many owners of these devices truly
appreciate."
The O2 ZERO tariff is simple and comprehensible. The
customer is not required to sign a time-based commitment and
does not pay any monthly fees. Prices have been set in such a
way that customers pay the same for calling rate and price
per SMS and MMS messages to all networks, at any time of the
day. Therefore, the customer does not need to think about
when and who they are calling, or to whom they are sending
and SMS or MMS, the price remains the same. One minute of
calling a number in any network is CZK 5.90 with VAT, and SMS
to any network is CZK 1.90 with VAT. Each MMS costs CZK 5.90
with VAT.
