Hello.
So my question is: is it possible to sign a contract with Play company without a pesel code? I'm an international student and I really need stable internet, so I can work comfortably. They don't provide any English support unfortunately, and my Polish is only suitable for reading, not speaking. Where I can get a PESEL code, or something that will work for me? Or can I just use my passport in order to sign a contract?

Thank you.

I have just asked your question on the PLAY live chat, and unfortunately they told me, that it isn't possible to make a contract without dowod osobisty, without PESEL. Sorry.

Hmm, what about for other EU citizens that have the equivalent? I'm guessing the answer is still no....

Looker, any idea (for pre-paid) what it costs for a SIM with 1gb or 2gb of data with talk and text on PLAY? My limited polish is failing me and i don't trust translations :(. Thank you

Looker, thank you very much for asking them.
But is it possible to make some sort of temporary PESEL for international student?

Now they offer internet, talk, text for 12 months with 1gb/month - total 12gb of data limit for 50pln - available to buy online only

And you can always get another gb by top up your card.

Type 'pesel generator' in google... although using such number is against the law.

in most cases your passport number is enough! i'm an international student as well. i've had internet from play. they have that usb sticks internet that you can buy if it'll work for you, you can buy that. if you want a more stable and faster internet, NETIA will sell it to you with your passport number alone, but that's more like a long-term thing. you just go there, and "talk" with them. you can go with a friend who speaks Polish. when you're in PLAY or NETIA's office with your passport, you can get your internet.
