Residential phone calls without subscription with Slim



Den Haag, 27-4-06

On May 1, KPN will be introducing “Slim”, a new brand comprising a cheap and simple solution for residential phone calls. Slim is designed for customers with average to above average home phone use - families for instance.

Slim customers pay no subscription fee for line rental; they only pay for their calls. Slim 500 gives them 500 minutes of talk-time to all fixed numbers in the Netherlands for € 19.95 a month. For people who use more than that, there is also a package offering 1000 minutes of talk-time a month. Calls to other Slim customers are free. Slim also offers competitive and transparent rates for international and fixed-to-mobile calls.


Slim makes use of KPN’s digital IP network. To attract customers who still use dialup internet access, the Slim package also includes a free internet connection which is twice as fast as their dial-up connection. Switching is easy. Customers keep their own number and handset, and are billed monthly.


“These days, many customers are no longer prepared to pay a rental fee for their fixed line, but would rather pay for the talk-time they actually want to use. After all, they already have the choice between prepaid and subscription for their mobile phones. Slim is KPN’s response to this trend. By offering Slim alongside our other packages, we have an excellent offer for every purse and every caller profile,” says Michiel Buitelaar, director of KPN’s consumer segment.
