Den Haag, 5-2-07

KPN announces the introduction this week of its first mobile ‘home zone’ tariff, MobielThuis. With MobielThuis, phone calls made at home using the mobile are just as cheap as making a call on a landline. For only €7.50 a month on top of your standard monthly mobile subscription, you can phone from home on your mobile at highly competitive rates for all calls. KPN is responding to the desire of an increasing number of people, who would prefer to use just their mobile phone for all calls. The launch of MobielThuis underlines KPN’s ambition to be the market leader in all important segments of the Dutch telecommunications market.

Marco Visser, responsible for KPN’s consumer mobile activities in the Netherlands, said: "It's logical that for many people the mobile phone will change from just 'a phone' to 'phone number one’. At the end of the day, people call you, not a location, and the mobile phone offers the convenience of one device, one number and one address book. With MobielThuis, we have a particularly attractive proposition for everyone who would prefer to use their mobile for all calls."

MobielThuis offers highly competitive and transparent rates for all calls from home: calls to a fixed number cost less than 3 eurocents a minute, calls to mobile numbers cost 12 eurocents a minute to all providers, and international calls cost from 7 eurocents a minute. No matter how often you call.

MobielThuis works with every type of mobile phone and can be chosen as a discount option with all current and new KPN Mobile and KPN FlexiBel subscriptions from Thursday, February the 8th.

Everyone who switches to MobielThuis before 31 June 2007 only pays €5 a month instead of €7.50 a month.

The cheaper MobielThuis rates apply as soon as you register for the service via a customer service point, one of KPN's stores, www.kpn.com or by SMS. You can even set up your own discount MobielThuis 'home zone': very handy when you don't live at the same address the bills are sent to. Based on address, the 'home zone' is determined by the closest mobile phone base stations and not only covers your home, but also the surrounding area. The size of the vicinity covered ranges from about 100 metres in an inner city to several kilometres in the countryside.
