Starter kits

Expcept for "basic" Tak Tak SIMs (PLN 20/20) and Pakiet Startowy "59" (PLN 59/59) with the current tariff named Happy, there are still on sale some SIMs (both "standalone" and bundled with phones) which have the previous tariff "Love". It is possible to change their tariff to Happy by sending a USSD code *125*6# (free of charge).

There are some "good" starting kits, and some which are not much convenient, here they are:

- Starter "60/60"
Activation Fee/Credit included: PLN 60/60

- Pakiet startowy "25"
Activation Fee/Credit included: PLN 25/25 + 4*5 Eraunits as a bonus for first 4 top-ups

- Pakiet startowy "XXL 40"
Activation Fee/Credit included: PLN 40/20 + 12*5 PLN as a bonus for first 12 top-ups + 20 Eraunits after making the first call

- Pakiet Startowy "Play Starter"
Activation Fee/Credit included: PLN 25/10 + 10*4 PLN as a bonus for first 10 top-ups

Starter kits with phones

Starter kits with phones which don't have Happy tariff are usually those with inscription "XXL" on their boxes and the sticker with the above USSD "transition code". Unlike "standalone" SIMs there is no financial reason to avoid any phone-bundled starter kit - all they have 5 PLN initial credit on their SIMs, no matter what tariff they have.
Some starter kits may contain some bonus gadgets like another Tak Tak SIM with 5 PLN credit, a tiny Philips FM radio or a Swatch watch!

Happy taniej (Happy cheaper)

If the Tak Tak SIM is active for more than:
- 4 months, you can activate (via 9797) the national call rate 0,69 PLN/min
- 8 months, you can activate (via 9797) the national call rate 0,59 PLN/min.

Tanie Numerki (Cheap Numbers)

Each user can activate (via 9797 automatic customer care) 1 to 5 selected numbers (Era, Heyah, landlines) with the rate 0.19 PLN/min.
Activation for each number is valid 9 months and costs 5 PLN.
Warning - if there are any Eraunits available, then they are used when calling Cheap Numbers! That's why it's not worth using Cheap Numbers with large top-ups (which add some Eraunits) or purchased packets of Eraunits.

Era Units

Unlike SimplusTeam and Orange's prepaids, in TakTak there's no money bonuses for large top-up amounts. Instead, there are limited-use bonuses described below, based on so-called Eraunits. Eraunits (in Polish "Erajednostki") are extra minutes that can be used for calls to Era, Heyah and landlines and for SMS sending to Era and Heyah. Eraunits are stored as a special subcredit of the "prepaid in prepaid" type. Unlike subcredits in Idea's prepaids, in Tak Tak the sub-credit doesn't have its own expiration date - its validity is the same as that of the "main" credit. Eraunits (=minutes) are convertible to SMSes to Era and Heyah in the ratio 1:4 i.e. sending 1 SMS decreases the subcredit by the value of 15 seconds (0,25 Eraunit). Until the subcredit is non-zero, all calls Era, Heyah and landlines and SMSes to Era and Heyah are debited from this subcredit. Data calls, calls to voice mail and call-centre and premium rate SMSes are not debited from the Eraunits subcredit. The balance check of the subcredit is performed via the USSD code *102# (free of charge), while the balance check of the main credit is is performed via the USSD code *101# (free of charge).

Flexible top-ups

With "Flexible" top-ups you can refill your account with any amount in full zlotys from 10 to 500 PLN. It works in this way: the shop assistant types the phone number on the terminal and the credit is increased "directly", no top-up code is sold.

Below ranges "from-to" in PLN are given.

10-19/credit validity not extended
20-49/1+1 months
50-99/3+1 months
100-149/4+1 months
150-500/6+1 months

Bonuses for "flexible" top-ups.

100 -> 10 Eraunits
120-129 -> 20 Eraunits
130-139 -> 25 Eraunits
140-149 -> 30 Eraunits
150-154 -> 35 Eraunits
155-299 -> 35 Eraunits + 1 Eraunit extra for each 5 PLN over 150 PLN
300 -> 70 Eraunits
301-449 -> 70 Eraunits + 1 Eraunit extra for each 5 PLN over 300 PLN
450 -> 105 Eraunits
451-499 -> 105 Eraunits + 1 Eraunit extra for each 5 PLN over 450 PLN
500 -> 115 Eraunits extra

Voice and SMS Packet

The Eraunits subcredit can be increased by purchasing the voice and SMS packet. The packet is activated by the USSD code *122*1# (cost 7.32 PLN). Activation of the packet is performed up to 72 hours after sending the SMS (however, usually it is practically immediate) and is confirmed by another SMS from the operator. The packet opens a new subcredit of the "prepaid in prepaid" type or just adds its value to the existing subcredit, if it already exists. It's possible to buy an arbitrary amount of the packets - their values just sum up. The balance check of the subcredit is performed via the USSD code *102# (free of charge).

Data Calls

WAP/Internet via GPRS costs PLN 0,72/500kB but incoming and outgoing packets are counted separately so each successfully connected session costs at least 2*0,72 = 1,44.

While in International Roaming, GPRS is sometimes also available (in zones 1,2,3), however for an incredible price 3,65 PLN/10kB. Incoming and outgoing packets are counted together (unlike in the home network) however the minimal debiting unit is 20kB anyway. CSD data calls are also possible but cost the same as voice calls to Poland.

Omnix Max

GPRS packet and discount in one (practically it's the same as Megapaczka - Megapack in Heyah). Monthly fee 5 PLN for 5 MB, and, after using the packet, 0.10 PLN/50 kB i.e. 2 PLN/MB. Apparently it's much more that regular rate which is 1.44 PLN/MB but it doesn't have to be so. With Omnix Max the debiting is the same as in Heyah i.e. rounding to 50 kB, however incoming and outgoing packets are not billed together (so the minimal fee is 0.20 PLN). Instead, regular debiting means rounding to 500 kB and incoming and outgoing packets are billed separately (so the minimal fee is 1.44 PLN).
Activation: *132*7*1# (may take up to 24 hrs)
Disactivation: *132*7*2#
If not discativated, Omnix Max will automatically renew each month.
