Matáv launches tariff package without monthly fee and call set-up charges
Budapest, September 3, 2001
With Matáv's new Kontroll tariff package, that works on principles similar to the prepaid card services of the mobile operators, telephone costs become precisely plannable. The subscriber can use the full amount shown on the Kontroll card for making telephone calls within a specified period of time, without having to pay a monthly fee or call set-up charges, and there are no monthly bills either.
Residential
customers with an analog telephone line can make calls with the
Kontroll tariff package without a monthly fee or call set-up charges,
and at a rate billed by the second independently from the time of day.
The customer can be called on the same telephone number and can make
domestic or international calls or send fax messages up to the credit
of the card. The subscriber can make calls with the Kontroll package
from any Matáv telephone station, not only his own, and with the ID
number and the PIN code, several parties can even make calls from
different Matáv telephone stations, simultaneously, using the credit of
the same Kontroll package.
Where this is technically feasible, Matáv will also provide a Voice
Mail Box free of charge for the duration of the tariff package. The
tariff package is available from the Matáv Pont shops or may be ordered
at the toll-free Matáv customer care number 1212. The 90-day card costs
HUF 12 000 and the 180-day card HUF 22 000.
The card can be recharged any time during its validity or within 10 days of its expiry.
Annex
Kontroll package rates:
The user of the Kontroll package does not pay a monthly fee or call
set-up charges (although there is call a set-up charge for pager calls
at 06 50 6xx xxx); during the validity of the package, only the call
charge is deducted from the prepaid amount.
The use of the other services available in the menu (balance inquiry, PIN code change, etc.) is free of charge.
For transparency, we give the call charges in HUF/minute, but naturally
the customer pays only for the seconds actually used. When balance
information is requested, we give the amount of remaining credit
rounded to the nearest forint.
In the Kontroll package no distinction is made between peak and off-peak periods.
