OSKAR OPENS A NEW 775 PREFIX. PHONE NUMBER SELECTION IS FREE OF CHARGE
As from today, any Oskar customer can choose a new phone number they like. Oskar is introducing the 775 prefix, a new addition to its existing range of prefixes 608, 776 and 777. “This is a result of the growing interest in Oskar’s services, especially the New Generation Tariffs, which were activated by 61% of new customers acquired in Q4 2003,” says Marek Sláčik, Director Acquisition & Channel Marketing. Free-of-charge phone number selection and subsidized handsets are traditionally considered as two main reasons for switching to a different mobile provider. MMS enabled Siemens C62, currently the best deal in Oskar’s handset portfolio, can be obtained for as little as 977 Kc (VAT included) if puchased together with the Talk Lots More tariff.

Those looking for favourably priced camera phones packed with features should consider Sony-Ericsson T230, available for 1,377 Kc (VAT included) if purchased together with the Talk Lots More tariff.
Now that phone number selection is free-of-charge, the most exclusive phone numbers are expected to sell out soon. “Our experience from previous years has shown that over 30% of the most interesting phone numbers are grabbed within the first two months,” says Marek Sláčik. According to Oskar’s internal research, 41% of new customers choose the same phone number that they used with their previous operator while 36% of users choose a phone number that is easy to remember. Another 12% choose a vanity number that spells their favourite word while the remaining 11% select a combination of their favourite numbers, such as date of birth.
The 775 prefix and free-of-charge phone number selection are available to both Oskarta and tariff customers. To order, customers can visit any Oskar corporate store or call OskarKontakt at 800 777 777. All orders are delivered to the customer’s preferred address within two days.
Note: The offer of free-of-charge phone number selection does not apply to Golden Numbers. Customers will be notified by Oskar's customer care or sales representatives.
