I don't understand - are you asking about some Heyah service?

[9eor9]

Yes, there are different numbers for data access, they are like *99# or *99***16# or similar.

Which number is required for Heyah?

OK, now I understand. No info on the Heyah website

I found some info in FAQ of a Polish wireless data forum.
Forum bez kabli :: Zobacz temat - Konfiguracja telefonu, modemu do Internetu, spis APN, DNS

Heyah
(infrastruktura - Era)
APN: heyah.pl
Login: heyah
Hasło: heyah
Numer dostępowy (= Access number): *99***1#


One more info.
GPRS and MMS are turned off by default.
In the past, it was necessary to activate it via the website or call centre.
Now I found that there's also activation with free SMS (I've told you already about it - it used for getting config settings, too).
So send a free SMS to 80123 with GPRS or MMS text.
Each of them activates the appropriate service and you will also receive settings for those services in SMSes.

mmmhhh cards expire within a short period of time.

Is there also a number to check the expiry date, similar to that to check the balance?

The *108# USSD code also returns the expiration date for outgoing calls and the phrase "+3 mies. na polaczenia przychodzace" ("+3 months for incoming calls" counted from the above expiration date). Please notice that you must top-up min. 20 PLN in order to increase the validity period but a good feature is that if you have outgoing calls active, the new expiration date is calculated by adding 1 month (20-49 PLN) or 3 months (50-500 PLN) to the old expiration date, not the current date. At most, you can "cumulate" 1 year validity for outgoing calls.

But there's one good thing on Heyah - data calls works also when your account is active only for incoming calls So by recharging 20PLN you have 4 months of Internet Of course you have to have enough money to connect. It's only thing that works when outgoing calls are blocked. After these 3 months for receiving calls better recharge, because they can deactivate your number (sometimes card can work few months after it and sometimes only few days - of course Internet still works, until card logs into network and has credit).

I've also found that expired Heyah cards (with credit on them) can work just fine when roaming. I tried one out in the US, about 5 months after it was supposed to expire, and shortly thereafter received a "Please top up if you want to keep your service" message, but the line was active for another two months (though it later wouldn't allow outgoing calls in Poland).
