Split - data SIM in Poland

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?

Yes, I do. This is true at least for Simplus and Sami Swoi - the number remains valid for a year after expiration date of incoming calls. In theory all you can do is to top-up, but practically you can also receive calls/SMS. However, when you forget, there's no the way to check when this one-year period really ends .

In fact, iPlus T&C's don't say a word about this feature, but they are reports that it is available. Perhaps, if you can, you should sell the SIM instead of living in uncertainty .

BTW, what are the first 3 digits of your iPlus - 6xx or 7xx?

Do you mean this half-functionality remains after a top up, so it's impossible to turn the SIM back to it's normal state? Or, do you mean the SIM could be registered on the network (thus allowing to receive calls/SMS or may be *123...) for a year after expiration and could be turn back to it's normal life after any recharge?

Here I can't find the number completely, but I'm sure it's +486... Is it any different from +487...? By the way, there's one strange thing. It was always detected as 6... on the phones that I called, including +7... Russian phones used in Poland (I didn't call Russian phones located in their home networks but I guess this might be the same). I guess it's not normal and correct, there should be +48... prefix.
