and am a bit confused, especially by the mandatory registration that
seems to have gone into effect on July 25.
Can we get a SIM card at the airport, and what's the best
operator/plan
for a reasonable amount of data for a couple of weeks? Voice and SMS
don't really matter to me.
I've just arrived this morning and have sorted this out, so thought I'd
share if anyone else was interested. First off, I was able to buy a
SIM at the airport for 5zł, but, as Rafał pointed out, it was
worthless. To actually use the SIM, I needed to activate it at a
proper shop with real identification (i.e. my passport).
I ended up going to a Salon Play in a Kaufland at https://www.google.co

th my passport and got a Play Internet na Kartę 9GB for 19zł ($4.83)
plan. It doesn't seem to support LTE, but I get H and H+ just fine,
and that's all I really need.
They also told me that there's some promotion that will give me 100GB
for free for 30 days, if I type in a USSD code (*111*300*1#) tomorrow.
We'll see if that actually works.
I did try T-Mobile first, but they told me I'd have to go to a store in
the old city, while Play was willing to take my passport information
and give me a SIM right there.
Rafał, thanks for the pointers. I got there in the end.
