Two of the three main mobile operators in the Czech Republic are offering customers unlimited data during the emergency situation

Innovative response

Two of the largest mobile phone operators in the Czech Republic are offering free unlimited mobile data are to all of their customers. This will help people who now have to work from home as well as those who need to communicate with other people.

The offer also applies to Czech citizens currently residing in other EU countries so they can be in contact with their family and loved ones.

T-Mobile is also offering unlimited data to state institutions and companies with framework contracts.

Additional channels such as BBC Earth and Premier Sport have been temporarily added to the TV package.
