Real Estate / Foreigners: Please don't buy Polish Land! [823]

Ola,

Instead of blaming foreigners getting into Poland and buying, blame your government who apperently finds it normal and even stimulating for highly educated polish people to leave their home land and do the (mostly) lowest paid jobs in Western Europe (cleaning, working on farm land). Besides the fact that some people in your (local) gouvernment(s) probably make a lot of money because of those Foreigners coming in........

Don't blame foreigners, blame Polish voters who have voted for this investment climate....
And oh yeah, brace yourself once the Euro comes in. Then everybody will be in dire straits and you will have legitimate reason to hate Belgians (Brussels)......

Life / Can I transfer my current mobile number to a local Polish provider? [6]

Hi All,

Moving to Poland in August and I overheard a Scotisch girl say she kept her british mobile number and transferred it to a polish provider. If it is possible can anyone tell me where to go and how the procedures works?

Second query: What are the best providers (cheapest) for mobile phones in Poland?

Thanks,

Paulus
