Poland: "the Big Three" i.e. Era, Plus and Orange and their MVNO's take 0.40 PLN and Play takes 0.65 PLN. At the current exchange rate it makes about 0.11 and 0.18 EUR, respectively. The rates above are exclusive of VAT, of course.

Have you found better rates to Poland mobile? Probably yes. How do they do this?

Of course, it's illegal here, not by the national telecom law, but by the operators' ownership rights - Polish SIMs are formally properties of the operators and FCT usage is a violating of T&C's of someone's property .
The same trick applies to many other countries .
