Poland: MOBILKING - a MNVO for tough guys
The 4th Polish MVNO (prepaid only) named MobilKing started on 22nd Feb.
It's the first MVNO running in the Era network and the first one whose SIMs and top-ups are available in the "normal" way i.e. in Żabka convenience stores (countrywide network, all open daily 6-23), some newsagents and electronic shops. MOBILKING is run by Mobile Entertainment Company A.S., a part of a Czech Penta Holding. This copany already has a network of sport bookmakers in Poland. The motto is "Some things are for real guys only" because the target group is "real men" :-). http://www.mobilking.pl/o-nas.html [Translation] MOBILKING is a new mobile operator. In MOBILKING we create our offer and services especially for men. We offer low rates and simple and clear terms and conditions. For our customers we provide special male gadgets and male entertaiment: sport news, advices, games, photosa, films with sexy women, also „adults only” ones. The MOBILKING starter (http://www.mobilking.pl/zestaw-startowy.html) costs 20 PLN and contains (except from a SIM with 20 PLN credit) also: a metal cigarette box; a "leash" for the phone and keys; a poster with a naked girl (whose photo may also be downloaded as a phone display wallpaper); a water-prood sticker with the MOBILKING logo "thanks to it everyone will see who rules here"; 40 free SMSes to notify about the new number; a key pendant with the MOBILKING logo Rates are: 0.50 PLN - national calls (also voice mail and CSD), 1/1 debiting (CSD 60/60) 0.15 PLN - national SMS 0.50 PLN - national MMS 0.70 PLN - international SMS 2.50 PLN - international MMS 0.50 PLN - 100 kB GPRS International calls (60/60) 2 PLN - Europe and some non-Europe countries (seems to be the same as Heyah zones 1 + 2) 5 PLN - rest of the world 10 PLN - satellite networks The intial credit is valid for 1 month outgoing + 3 months incoming. Top-ups 10 PLN, 20 PLN, 50 PLN - all increase the validity by 3 months for outgoing and incoming from the top-up date. This means that the number can be kept for 3,33 PLN/month only (which is much better than the best so far Sami Swoi - 80 PLN/7 months) |
Wow, Poland is the first country with MVNOs for women and men only, after MyAvon, now Mobilking! :D
I updated the website yesterday, before reading your post here: http://www.prepaidgsm.net/en/polonia/mobilking.html if there are mistakes let me know. BTW, next time I go to Poland I won't miss this operator and, most of all, the naked girl poster! :D :D |
It's mistake - voicemail isn't free, it costs 0,50 PLN/minute.

Thanks, I just corrected the page.

To compare rates with the rest of the world, the exchange rate of today is: 1 PLN = 0,2833 EUR = 0,4219 USD. Check also TV ads :-D http://www.mobilking.pl/reklamy-telewizyjne.html Czy ona potrafi cokolwiek naprawić tak, jak mężczyzna? Can she repair anything like a man? Czy ona zagra jak mężczyzna? Can she play like a man? Those titles are also all the "spoken soundtracks". IMHO the 3rd one is the best :thumbup: Sprawdź jaki jest MOBILKING Check what MOBILKING is [Quick and dirty translation] More and more often women want to match us, the men. [car mechanic] They want to repair products of our hands. [soldier] They defend possessions of our ancestors. [firefighter] They extinguish our fires. [lumberer] But let's face the truth: some things have always been and will always be for us, the men. Such is MOBILKING, a new mobile operator which gives you low rates and zero hidden costs, so that you could control your money. A new mobile operator. Check MOBILKING. Some things are for real guys only. |
Mobilking - The network for sexist Polish chain-smoking male sports fans who don't use data, like to recharge often, have no foreign friends, and are likely to buy things that have pictures of naked girls on them.
Quite a demographic, eh? |

But seriously - it may not be that easy. The 3 Polish MVNOs (the first one started in Dec 06) had "huge" number of 53 600 customers at the end of 07 (official data of the Main Statistical Office) at 38 million population :-P. To compare, the 4th "real" operator Play(sart in March 07), gained first million in 10 months. So far, MVNO SIMs have been hard to buy and top-up and practically not advertised. Moreover, calls between them and SIMs from their "host" networks are all off-net (in fact, the same situation is with "fake" MVNOs Heyah and Sami Swoi, but at least they can be bought and recharged "normally"). Another interesting MVNO is "pending" here - of course I'll let you know when it goes "on-line" :whistling: |
