mattski 1 | 1 17 Jul 2008 #1Hi All,I'm going to Poland for 2 months and taking my laptop and I would like to know of any affordable mobile internet deals. There are fairly cheap ones that have a 24 month contract but the non-contract deals cost something like 300 zl per gigabyte which is ridiculous. I'll be staying mostly in suburban Warsaw for 2 months (mid Aug - Mid Oct).Any suggestions?Thanks in advance
ukpolska 18 Jul 2008 #2I know that ERA will give you a free trial for one month on their mobile internet. Maybe if you can find a couple of Polish friends to sign up for a free trial it maybe an option.
davidpeake 14 | 451 18 Jul 2008 #3The ERA one is for a 2 year contract, you can disconnect in the first month only, and pay a fee of 200zl. Other than that I think you have no choice.
ukpolska 18 Jul 2008 #4Sorry but that is wrong, maybe it is a regional thing because I tried it in February for a month and didn't pay no money.
davidpeake 14 | 451 18 Jul 2008 #5May have been like that in February, but when we cancelled last week before the month was up, it cost us 200zl, but that was via a business so it could be different rules.
ukpolska 18 Jul 2008 #6Mine was through my business, and maybe you are right the rules may have changed.Seems a lot for a month though, didn't you know that before you took the contract out?
davidpeake 14 | 451 18 Jul 2008 #7yep, did know that, the wife had an exam and could use the internet for it via the laptop, was the easiest and cheapest way we could find. It wasnt that expensive per month if you took out the contract.

OP mattski 1 | 1 18 Jul 2008 #11Would this work: Getting a prepaid simcard and just using my phone as a GPRS modem? Or even global roaming?

CashCache 4 | 12 26 May 2009 #13Mattski,Did you ever find a solution? I'm in the same boat and would like to use my iPhone as a modem with my laptop. I just don't know what carrier or plan to go with.Please let me know what you found out.Thanks,
Alok 23 Jun 2009 #14I use the ERA Blue Connect Sim card in my phone and use it as a modem to connect with the laptop. Its 3G, so speed is quite good. Will cost you around 25 Zl to start with. the download rates are quite cheap - i don't remember the exact amounts though. You can check it on Era Poland website.
