I respect you too. You might have noticed that I've changed some words according to the latest documents given out by the providers. In Poland every provider is obliged by law to publish them 4 weeks in advance. Now, they have made some last minute changes to their Cenniks probably pressured by the regulator (or public) to comply with Roam like at home starting today. I was watching them closely.

I still don't see any "free" (meaning taken from the domestic allowance) roaming with Play and Plus. Plus still quotes an overpriced 0.19 PLN/MB. But there will be more changes still to come, I guess. So please keep it updated, if they add them.

But it essentially comes down to this: Can it be still called "Roam like (at) home", when only at small fraction is given out at the domestic rate? And the rest of the roaming consumption is surcharged? - That's at least a question when you can have different opinions about. That's why I headlined it with a ? - I don't give a definite answer, but let the reader decide.

I admit: technically, you are right. At least Orange and T-Mobile comply with the regulation on some of their plans now. That's a big step in the right direction. The 5% share I mentioned are an average browsing through their lists; on some plans it's more, on others it's still 0%.

Your edits send the wrong picture. Let me give you an example: NJU (Orange) gives 460MB of their 9GB for 9Zl pack at the domestic rate (check their latest document ):  Pakiet internetowy: 9 GB, Limit GB dostępny w Strefie 1:  0,46 GB. Opłaty za 1 MB po przekroczeniu Limitu GB w Strefie 1 w ramach okresu ważności pakietu: 0.04.

Assuming I want to use 5GB of my 9GB for roaming, I get 460MB for "free" and the rest of the 4.55GB are charged with 0.04/MB. Right? That runs the bill to around 190 PLN for 5GB roaming (9 + 4550 x 0.04).

You can make similar calculations for other providers and plans and I'm not using Plus' 0.19 PLN/MB rate. Show me one single operator that gives out 5GB in EU roaming for (let's say 63 PLN = €15 like Aldi in Germany does). What I can see so far, are much lower domestic prices in Poland, but higher roaming rates outside compared with other EU countries.

That's the message we should bring: don't be misled by the low domestic prices in Poland, the roaming rates are not that cheap. But I'm sure we can work out this together and I'm greatful for your edits, but will check them like any others too.
