Telephone support
This sentence appears the page of a contract which outline the 24/24 7/7 telephone trouble-shooting service. What puzzles me is that they have already pointed out several times that this is a free service and then this sentence appears on a line of its own, as if it is giving some additional information. Any ideas?

If they are just emphasizing what has already been said could you translate it as a sort of catchphrase especially as it appears in a line on its own

Sorry, I think I may have interpreted question poorly. Are they just emphasising the fact perhaps ?
