Comviq reduce their prices on SMS


From Friday, 12 May 2000, Comviq, will reduce the price on SMS for all
their mobile subscribers. The new price will be 1,45 SEK (tax incl.) per
message.

Comviq has the lowest prices on the market and with the price reduction on
SMS we further strengthen our position as price-leaders also within the
SMS services. This will benefit our customers, as they will get even more
favourable subscriptions, say Fredrik Berglund, Sales and Marketing
Director of Comviq.

SMS stands for Short Message Service and is a global standard for sending
and receiving messages through the mobile phone. It is free of charge to
receive a SMS while being in Sweden.

In addition to personal messaging services, Comviq offers a range of
information services. For example, subscribers can access rates on the
stock market, quotations, horoscopes, pizza suggestion of the day, help
for making decisions and a variety of contests.

Subscribers can also access up to date results from Allsvenskan and
Superettan simply by sending "allres" or "supres" to the number 333. A
SMS is sent back within a few minutes with the current result from the
ongoing game.

For gambling, Comviq offers expert advice in conjunction with Ralf Edström
and Thomas Nordahl. They make a suggestion of three scores, which is
updated every Thursday.

To search for this, just use the word:
"Ralf" for Ralf Edström's suggestions

and then send it to the number 333.
