	Mar 6, 07, 13:22 #39 Cell phone companies in Poland can't send to the US because different wave frequencies. He does try, but they come decoded and the message ends up somewhere in India on somebody else's cell phone. You can also get software and send through the internet to your phone. \| Reply	Member Posts: 3114 Joined: Aug 10, 06

	Mar 8, 07, 10:45 #40 Quoting: Guest Ive found this very discussion very interesting. I am living with my Polish boyfriend and have found that he is incredibly possessive and distrustful, to the extent that I hardly see my friends any more as he hates me going out without him. He says that this is a cultural difference and that when you are married or living with someone you dont go out alone, but you invite friends to your house or go out as a couple. He also said that Polish people are generally distrustful because of what they have been through in the past (i.e. communism). Do other people find this generally to be true of Polish men or is he just trying to justify his behaviour with this excuse? I can totally relate to this as that is also my exact experience. as for the phone ringing thing... I always thought it was cos they didnt have any credit so wanted you to pay to call them back \| Reply	Member Posts: 1408 Joined: Dec 7, 06

	Mar 8, 07, 10:51 #41 Quoting: krysia Cell phone companies in Poland can't send to the US because different wave frequencies. It's either 900-1800MHz and in the US these GSM frequency's are the same, so that's not the problem. I can receive SMS from most providers in Poland. He may not belong to a carrier that allows outbound to the US. \| Reply	Member Posts: 2772 Joined: Jun 14, 06

	Mar 8, 07, 10:58 #42 Polish people with cell phones is a quicker information dissemination mechanism than the Internet Joking aside one of the things I have noticed about Central and Eastern European people is that they are phenomenonally good at networking. I was once told that it was a result of communism when things were in short supply. That may well have been tongue in cheek though \| Reply	Member Posts: 1903 Joined: Feb 20, 07

But then it all depends on the carrier too. Quoting: Tamara they called it "ba,ki". Was it maybe "dzwonki"? \| Reply	Member Posts: 3114 Joined: Aug 10, 06

Well, I know some carriers here can't roam in Europe..like all CDMA (verizon) But, most GSM if the correct freq. can roam anywhere in europe. ....crrently working for a wireless provider in the US...in case you wre curious \| Reply	Member Posts: 2772 Joined: Jun 14, 06

	Edited by: krysia Mar 8, 07, 11:56 #45 I live in a dinky little town. They don't have much choices of carriers. I have US cellular and it's the best one because I can text messages and have direct contact with Europe. Other providers will charge extra for that or don't have it at all. \| Reply	Member Posts: 3114 Joined: Aug 10, 06

	Mar 8, 07, 12:12 #46 I have T-Mobile. There service sucks at times but I have an open GSM phone and can text messages and receive massages. I also can buy any SIMS card and use it locally it's much cheaper. Example, my mother went to Poland roamed in Poland all the time but it was $0.99 a minute. Imagaine my phone bills for the three months she was there. Last year I bought her a Polish SIMS card showed her how to use it and she got a local cell phone number in Poland, free incoming calls, voicemail and SMS. The rates were much cheaper as well. \| Reply	Member Posts: 168 Joined: Feb 2, 07

	Jul 31, 07, 11:12 #52 Topic attached on merging: Cell phones in Poland Since I will be moving to Poland, I wanted to get a cell phone for local services. I have my phone from the states. Do you think it would be best to bring my phone from home and set up services or just buy one in Poland? Will they set up services through a verizon wireless? What are the average service prices and prices of a phone? Thanks for the help... \| Reply	Member Posts: 16 Joined: Jun 17, 07

	Jul 31, 07, 11:15 #53 just get yourself a local sim card - if your american phone needs unlocking its easy to get done, otherwise just pick up on over here - not expensive \| Reply	Member Posts: 4799 Joined: Sep 26, 06
