Budapest, October 12, 2004

T-Mobile subscribers can now make phone calls using the network of NTT DoCoMo, the largest mobile operator in Japan. Besides phone calls, customers can also send and receive SMSes, and can pay the bill later in Forints in Hungary.

The mutual opening of the GSM and WCDMA networks offers simpler mobile calls for the customers of both operators, who do not need to buy a new SIM card locally. NTT DoCoMo with its nearly 50 million subscribers is one of the defining mobile companies, its advanced third generation network is used by nearly 6 million customers.

T-Mobile Hungary currently maintains roaming cooperation with 310 operators of 141 countries, and its subscribers can use the GPRS/MMS services on 65 international partner networks – which is the highest rate among the domestic mobile operators.
