Of course, but not seriously, I think . It would be not only the (very high) cost of demolishing itself, but also of transferring really non-stalinist institutions and businnesses located there. Sure, no problem, as well as many ATMs ("Bankomat"). |

But back to mobile phones and Wa-wa Centralna. There are several little shops in the lower level, particularly on the north-east side of the station, that sell SIM cards and the like. I don't think there's really anything there that Asick might need after the visit to the Plus store, but if anyone wants to collect all the prepaid SIMs in a hurry, that would be a place to start...

Hello, guys! I don't have enough time to answer all your messages completely but I can just tell my story. Well, I arrived at Warszawa Centralna about 6:30 in the morning, and I was at the very opening of the Plus store at 8:00 (it's really near to the railway station, from the same side of the skyscraper foundation). I bought there iPlus simdata (by the way, all the dealer shops in the underground passages was closed so early) and I use it without problems here in Krakow. Really cheap GPRS and fast enough, although I see some delays in the evenings (it's a bit more speedy in the morning here). There is no free WiFi in the hotel, I just see some Orange WiFi nets, which could be connected without authorization but show just the Orange site with their pay internet access offer. I don't think it's a good idea, it seems it should be paid via an Orange SIM by SMS or something similar, which is useless for me. I have not made experiments with the hotel phone yet, I'm afraid it's a digital one, it has to many functions to be a 'normal' analog phone. I don't want to harm anything connecting an analog modem to a digital phone line.
Well, happy new year from Krakow, which is really nice city, a bit snowy and cold (-2..0) with a great New Year spirit! |

Well, this solution in the prepaid version is pretty stupid because you can pay either via Orange premium rate SMS (what requires having an Orange SIM, I suppose) or special scratch cards, completely different from "regular" cards used to top-up POP or Orange SIM. Those cards should be available in hotspot locations but are they? I doin't know. Quote:
Nice to hear that - enjoy your stay! |

Top-ups are sold from ATM's of the following banks (Visa, MC, Maestro cards): Euronet PKO BP BZ WBK INVEST - BANK Spółdzielcza Grupa Bankowa (SGB) Bank Ochrony Środowiska (BOŚ) Nordea Bank Bank Gospodarki Żywnościowej (BGŻ) Bank BPH Bank Polskiej Spółdzielczosci (BPS) Eurobank (Visa cards only) Mazowiecki Bank Regionalny (MBR) If you make top-up via ATM, you have to specify the SIM number in the 9-digit format and the balance will be increased immediately. The only exception are PKO BP ATM's which just print 14-digit top-up codes (equivalent to those of the scratch cards). Pekao SA ATM's may also be labeled with GSM prepaid logos, but this functionality is available only for cards issued by this bank. |

Happy New Year again, now from the New Year itself. I'll write my impressions about the New Year night here and Russian<->Polish differences in this celebration that I've found a bit later, I guess it would be quite interesting to discuss it. |
