T-Mobile lures highest number of new clients, Oskar lowest in 2004

The mobile phone operator T-Mobile attracted the highest number of new clients last year, while Oskar Mobil saw the lowest increase in client numbers, the companies said. T-Mobile raised the number by 410,000, Eurotel by 380,000 and Oskar by 280,000 users. At the end of last year, there were 10.78 million active mobile phones on the Czech market. In the last quarter alone, when operators launched massive pre-Christmas campaigns, the operators lured some half a million new clients. At the end of last year, there were nearly 106 mobile phones per 100 people. Experts say that despite that, there is quite a large group of people without a mobile phone. Some 15 to 20 percent of users have more mobile phones than just one.
