Gustad, Promonte Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Christian Toeltl, Director-General of Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank AD Podgorica said: “Hypo Group Alpe Adria has a longstanding commitment in providing contributions to reduction of global climate change impact.

Apart from one family member, who is the authorised bearer of the tariff packet, 5 more members can use advantages of the Family Packet, which are: O EUR for family conversations (for the calls inside the group), favourable prices inside the whole Promonte network and SMS prices which are adapted to youngsters.
Apart from free conversations between family members, there is also an option for defining the limit of expenditure: at the moment when someone of the Packet members steps over the set limit, after being informed about it by receiving an SMS, all dialled calls of that user are blocked (even towards the Packet members); that is how the expenses management is completely under the control of users.
Promonte Family Packet can be used together with the monthly subscription in the amount of 3.99 € for the bearer of the subscription (post-paid user), while all other members have a 5% discount, so it makes their monthly subscription only 1.99 € (both for prepaid and post-paid users).
The bearer of the Packet pays the subscription for the prepaid Family Packet members. Prepaid account is active for 3 months, and after the expiration it has to be recharged.
In order to become a Family Packet user, it would be enough to visit Promonte edifices in Podgorica or some other Promonte authorised dealers edifices all around Montenegro. Until the end of 2007, activation of Promonte Family Packet will be absolutely free for the existing users of Promonte network, as well as for all those who want to become users of Promonte network and Promonte Family Packet for the first time.

ProMonte Business Cup is a soccer competition that was organized by ProMonte Company, which involved the companies and business organizations that are users of ProMonte Business Packages.
The aim of organizing the event was to promote the same relationship of each company to the others, where the companies that are our business partners were expected to show their team and cooperation spirit as one of the most important factors for their successful business operations, as well as to reach another “business success” on the soccer field and to evidence the supremacy of their respective teams. Therefore, we conceived and organized the competition so as to involve only the companies and business organizations being our business packages users, whereas only the employees of such companies could participate as the players. Our target has been reached - hanging around and making friends has strengthened various relations, and not only the business ones.
ProMonte Business Cup started on March 24, 2007, and it has hosted 24 companies so far, i.e. the teams classified into four groups. The first stage of the competition was held under scoring system and the two first-placed teams from each of the groups continued the competition. The Cup itself resulted in numerous very exciting matches, and it presented high quality and interesting soccer playing, well balanced team compositions, whereas the final placing into the second round of competition was not clear all until the very last match.
Semi-finals and finals were played over the most recent weekend, and the Montenegrin Army team was the winner. The second place was won by the BEGA PRESS team, and the third place was won by De LUX Taxi Association.
The winners of the ProMonte Business Cup were given cups and NOKIA mobile phones.
The idea to organize such a Cup has been broadly supported and accepted, and the wish commonly expressed by all the participants that this Cup should become the ProMonte Business League speaks best of the reasonableness of the idea.

With the great efforts of Promonte employees engaged in this voluminous undertaking, communication has been established with the majority of roaming partners.

Therefore, in case of a problem, we kindly ask you to call Promonte Customer Service Center and describe the problem, so that they can timely eliminate it. The call to the Customer Service Center number 9898 is free (for calls from our network) and it is available to the users 24 hours a day.
