Ukrtelecom, the largest telecommunications company in Ukraine, began providing mobile internet service under the OHO! Mobile trademark.
Ukrtelecom’s Board Chairman Heorhii Dzekon announced this at a press conference.
“We are providing today the OHO! Mobile product — it is unlimited mobile internet. We believe that the new product will organically compliment our OHO! Fixed-line internet service,” Dzekon said.
Ukrtelecom intends to provide unlimited access to the internet under three tariff plans: two for contract subscribers and one for prepaid subscribers.
The “OHO! Mobile 256” tariff plan for contract subscribers offers unlimited access to the internet at speeds of up to 256 Kbits/s at the subscription fee of UAH 60 per month.
The “OHO! Mobile Unlimited” tariff plan for contract subscribers offers unlimited access to the internet at speeds of up to 7.2 Mbits/s at the subscription fee of UAH 120 per month.
The “OHO! Mobile” tariff plan for prepaid subscribers offers access to the internet at speeds of up to 1024 Kbits/s at the subscription fee of UAH 5.99 per day.
According to Svitlana Katkova, the director of Ukrtelecom’s department of marketing, the existing subscribers to the company’s mobile communications services (the Utel brand) can retain their current tariff plans or switch to new tariff plans.
Subscribers connecting to the new tariff plans will also be issued second SIM card with an activated “U Mobile” voice package, which offers 2,000 minutes of telephone calls at 0 kopeck per minute within Ukrtelecom’s network (both mobile and fixed-line); telephone calls to the networks of other mobile communications operators will cost 55 kopecks per minute.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, Ukrtelecom reported a loss of UAH 456.426 million for the year 2009, when its net revenues increased by UAH 225.202 million or 3.39% to UAH 6,870.931 million compared with 2008.
