After the successful cooperations Take Two and chello + ONE in recent years, ONE and UPC Telekabel will launch a special offer on October 1. New customers who decide for the combination package Take Two 1 until October 31 will not have to pay a monthly fee until the end of the year* and will save 25% each month as of next year for Priority Standard FreeTime and All in ONE 1.

As of October 1, the combination offer comprised of ONE mobile telephony and UPC Telekabel’s Priority fixed line is unrivaled. Customers in Vienna, Graz and Klagenfurt will not have to pay any monthly fee until the end of the year* for Take Two 1, if they register until October 31. “The Take Two offer is ideal for all those who want to be reachable at all times and make a lot of ONE to ONE phone calls. With Take Two 1, regular annual savings amount to at least € 92.52 – with the current offer, customers further save the monthly fee for October, November and December,” says Christian Riener, ONE Marketing Director about the introduction of the new offer.

Mag. Niuscha Vakil-Adli, Director Business Unit Internet & Telephony at UPC Telekabel adds, “With the current Take Two offer we continue our successful cooperation with ONE. The new Priority Standard FreeTime tariff, offering free-of-charge free-time telephony into the Austrian fixed line, helps customers save even more, since the free minutes are already covered by the monthly fee and do not have to be bought at additional cost.”
