What do you mean by "left alone" - that Heyah will remain Polish-only "fake MVNO" brand at it is today? Did you hear any rumours about "internalisation" of Heyah???
|
Only that they have no plans to kill it off. ("to leave alone" = not to change anything) They will leave Heyah the way it is. I mention this only because a couple of news stories said "no decision has been made regarding the future of Heyah" or similar. I think this is just journalists trying to pad out their stories, though.

But remember that Poland is not in euro zone and will not be soon (or ever - the current government is very hostile to change zlotys to euros). Moreover, the exchange rate is fully flexible - this means that top-ups bought abroad may result in "uncertain" top-up values in zlotys
|
International top-ups don't require everything to be in the same currency - you can top up any Vodafone card anywhere else, regardless of the currency. Any fluctuations in exchange rate are taken care of by the inevitable international topup fee, which is usually quite a lot, so you couldn't save money by topping up somewhere else when the exchange rate changes.

After all, it might be a good idea to offer the Heyah brand in T-Mo countries with large numbers of Polish immigrants
|
If TMO does expand the brand anywhere else, it shouldn't be aimed just at Poles abroad, this would be a wasted opportunity. There's nothing specifically Polish about the Heyah concept, and it could have a very broad appeal (to a youngish, mostly cost-conscious demographic group). Note that the one brand that kinda-sorta appeals to Polishness (Sami Swoi) hasn't been all that successful.
