Thanks a lot for this info. However, I tried to top it up before I read this, it was yesterday on 31st. I thought I could use an ATM to top up, but I just found an opened KODAK shop, where a salesman just took money and printed me a check with a recharge code. I used it with *123... and had no problem. However, I believe today an ATM would be the only solution since any GSM/photo shops are closed now.

Happy New Year again, now from the New Year itself. I'll write my impressions about the New Year night here and Russian<->Polish differences in this celebration that I've found a bit later, I guess it would be quite interesting to discuss it.

Probably some petrol stations with recharge terminals are open but they may be located far away from where you currently are....

Good idea but I think you should start a new thread in Off topic .

Oh, yeah, I agree they are far from me. I'm almost at the old town here in Krakow, so I don't see any petrol stations here close. Anyway, it seems I will not need further recharges since iPlus simdata seems to be a cheaper tariff for my needs than I initially counted.

No doubts it should be there.

Well, it's really less than 8 eurocents/MB and no stupid packets !

Oh, yes, so I had quite positive balance at the time I was crossing the border going back home. Since it has no roaming and short expiration time, iPlus will surely get this money for their profit. Too sad...

Cheer up - I suppose that after the official expiration date for incoming calls the SIM and the credit will remain valid for the next year. It's not an officially mentioned feature but there are reports it works just like in Simplus .

Jus thought you all should know, after my rather vigorous defense of Heyah in previous messages, that I'm going to get an iPlus card as well. I have an ex-Voda Moto V980, which is not a great phone but works just fine as a UMTS modem with data cable, albeit only in Poland... I don't think there's a cheaper data deal anywhere.

Do you mean the SIM won't be registered on the network for the next year since the expiration date (no *123... recharge), but it will still be possible to top it up via an ATM to get it awake?
