Radiomobil (Paegas) was bought by that well known company. First they
aimed on hunting new customers (all phone numbers in country were
changed few months ago, so that was a chance), later when they couldn't
find any more customers they decided that increasing price of services 
is the right way to gain more money. that leads to such unbelievable
things like payed sms sending _from_ web gateway and other "cool" issues.
together with completely ureliable T-Zones (which are aiming to replace
services that were previously free) and prices of SMSs and voice calls
(contractual customers have so far the same condidions as at Paegas times)
there is no more reason to choose them.
