Besides which, you don't get a choice of carrier for the most part. I haven't checked recently but when I was considering buying a prepaid for Ireland last year, all they had was meteor which is acknowledged to be the worst of the Irish prepaid sims....don't know which one they are offering now but they were charging close to $40 (and then add on shipping) while I was able to get a vodafone IE sim at the airport for ?10.

Well, it's free market - all is worth as much as somebody is willing to pay

I checked their offer for Poland and I must say it's ridiculous. They offer one SIM only worth about $20 for $49. Moreover, whereas this prepaid (Era Tak Tak) is very attractive for long term Polish users, it's not so good for foreign visitors. IMHO other prepaids are better choices in practically all aspects of usage (national and international voice calls, data transmission, messaging, voice mail, calling special numbers) except for on-net Era calls.
And a "big deal": http://www.telestial.com/view_product.php?...T_ID=LPRM-PL01&
- $199 for Siemens A65 + global plug adapter + SIM mentioned above.
The new unlocked A65 or similar costs in Poland less that $100 and a prepaid SIM of any operator can be purchased for no more than $3.4 (and the credit included is 80-100% of the value). Locked phones bundled with prepaid SIMs start from $50 or less including $1-$10 of initial credit.
