Do you know what it is? I don't, but I can tell you what it isn't: Play! I've been using Play prepaid service for the last four months and it's been one aggravating experience after another. For example:

- Text messages don't arrive in my inbox for several hours after they've been sent sometimes (seems to happen most commonly immediately after I buy more credit; go figure).

and

- When I call some numbers I get an electronic b---- telling me "sorry this is an invalid number," but people from the supposedly "invalid number" can call me and I can receive their calls!(?)

The list goes on and on . . . . Long story short, I fired their arses and now I'm using an Orange prepaid card and find it more reliable, but also more expensive.

I want to sign a deal with Orange or ERA or TPSA soon. I don't want to have to keep watching my credit like a hawk and running out at the worst possible times. So I'm putting this question to you guys. Who's happy with their phone service?

They are all cr@p.

But (and it does pain me to say this because they have been complete *beep* everytime I have needed something) Era are probably the least worst of the bad bunch.

Pretty much agree with harry, in comparison to the plans you can get in the US or UK, they all suck.

It really depends what your looking for, a new flashy phone, a ton of minutes, internet connection, but when I was looking only Era had anything worthwhile even though its more expensive.

Plus looks secondrate but I heard their coverage is excellent, I would never use TPSA (except for internet), and the rest, who knows...

I've been using ERA thus far and it's ok... given the available options of course. I think things may change once Poland switches to Euro.. yea I know, it may be a while... but I've thought about the crappy cell phone options here and I'm pretty sure that things are going to have to take a turn pretty soon.

Couple of my students use international phones which they've purchased in NYC during their business visits. They pay $45/month for unlimited calling, being that they are businessman, their monthly bill in Poland exceeds $45 every month.

That alone will eventually create competition worth considering on the Polish market... or not hahaha... either way, it's an option.

I've been using SimPlus prepaid for 4 years and I've never had any reason to get aggravated, it does all the stuff a digital phone machine should do.

I used SimPlus prepaid for 3.5 years and was perfectly happy with it.
