Sounds like a great trip. I spent a few days in the are a while back - the Old Town of Poznan is beautifully rebuilt, and there was a terrific restaurant on one of the corners of the square (I remember big wooden doors, and I think it was downstairs).

Have fun.

I'll PM you some the most probable addresses when you can buy iPlus. The lists of dealers produced by the locator on iplus site are quite long but in fact they may be out of sims at the moment. My brother who bought an iPlus sim in Wroclaw a few weeks ago, had to go to the official Plus salon. The iPlus sims aren't so popular as Simplus or Sami Swoi ones

Nice to hear that!

1.8 MB/s - do you mean HSDPA? It's available in Poland in Era (so far a few largest cities including Poznan and Wroclaw) and I suppose Wind would roam in Era 3G as well. However, there are no so good data prepaid plans Era and Orange as iPlus in Plus .

Any first-hand expericences with the new data roaming rates? Is it implemented from today - what stories do you have?

I was using my wind mega-15000 today in Poland. I've just logged into the 155.it site and as an example my last data sessions were charged as shown below. By my reckoning it seems everything is being charged at the old tariff of EUR 15/MB. Perhaps the rate increase starts from tomorrow with 4/12/06 being the final day of the old rate? Either that or Wind are being exceptionally disorganised and haven't implemented it yet or maybe they forgot (maybe a bit overly wishful thinking!).

Being a Wind customer for more than 6 years, I vote for the "exceptionally disorganized"!

You mean that they are, or you are?

I'm with the right network ...

[flodis79]

Seeing that Wind billing cycles for data run every hour, it should be clear quite soon if the new rate is applied today. Have a data session open at the moment.

I'm usually quite an organized person, while Wind...

I don't think I've had an SMS warning of increased rates. I'm not sure though; I get 2 SMS every time my mega 300 is topped up and I deleted the last ones (27th November) before I saw this thread and without reading them closely. They looked like the normal ones though.

A GPRS sesion yesterday (in the UK) is still debiting at the old rates.

Could this be because I only started using Wind & mega 300 fairly recently - in July?

I also did a couple of test sessions yesterday and they were debited at the old rates as well.

I think this is completely down to Wind being disorganised so it could go on for a matter of weeks or a matter of years.....who knows :P
