Press release

 

Rabo Mobiel chooses KPN as new telecom provider	Date
	28 February 2008
	Number
	008pe

 

Starting from mid-April 2008, Rabo Mobiel will be offering its services through KPN’s mobile network. Following the takeover of Orange, Rabo Mobiel has been refocusing its business on the market for mobile telecom services in the past few months. Rabo Mobiel is now working with Orange and KPN to make the transition as seamless and smooth as possible.

 

Rabo Mobiel’s customers will hardly notice anything during the transition because of the excellent cooperation with Orange as well as KPN. Customers will simply be given a new SIM card allowing them access to all the usual services using their existing telephone, only now via KPN’s network. The entire migration of existing customers is expected to last up to the summer.

 

Ad Scheepbouwer, KPN’s CEO, said: ‘I am delighted that Rabo Mobiel opted for KPN Mobile. The choice of this forerunner in mobile payment services and banking acts as confirmation that KPN Mobile stands for high technology and a high level of service. It also proves that growth is high on the agenda. ’

 

Rabo Mobiel’s nationwide rates will remain as they are, but rates for calls to and from abroad will be modified because a distinction will be made between phoning to a mobile number abroad or a fixed number abroad. This will cause a slight rise in some rates whereas others will slightly fall. On balance it means that the user will hardly notice any changes. People can find a detailed overview of new rates from mid-April at: wwww.rabomobiel.nl. A few new services, such as MMS and broadband mobile internet (UMTS) for instance, will be added to services already provided by Rabo Mobiel. If you would like to find out more, go to the Rabo Mobiel website: www.rabomobiel.nl.
