10,000 free Plus starter packs for Ukrainian citizens at post offices
Poczta Polska has joined the Plus network operator's initiative, providing Ukrainian citizens with free SIM cards along with a special package of free minutes and internet. Employees of the national postal operator will register the starter kit at the branch to ensure it is active.
The wave of civilian war refugees from Ukraine is growing. Fleeing the conflagration, these people often didn't have time to gather their belongings. Their families and friends, with whom they often have no contact, have been left behind in war-torn Ukraine. Mobile network operators in Poland have responded to these needs by offering free starter kits for mobile phones with a limit on free minutes. Poczta Polska (Polish Post) has introduced these starter kits to its branches to ensure refugees have access to these services.
Starters are issued based on passports or residence cards. Postal workers will also register new numbers using the data from these documents, which will significantly simplify and streamline the entire process. Posters announcing the campaign in both Polish and Ukrainian have already been posted at post offices," he adds.
Plus has provided the Polish Post Office with over 10,000 starter packs with free phone calls and internet. These can be picked up at post offices in the Podkarpackie, Lublin, Lesser Poland, Świętokrzyskie, and Masovian Voivodeships, including all offices and branches in Warsaw. The free prepaid starter packs have been configured to allow immediate use of the package. The Plus package includes 500 free minutes (exchangeable for text messages) for calls to Kyivstar, Lifecell, and Vodafone mobile networks in Ukraine, as well as a free 10 GB internet package.
Poczta Polska has engaged in a number of initiatives to help Ukraine, including those supporting victims of the war in Ukraine and refugees. The Polish operator supports the Ukrainian Post, for example, by waiving fees for money transfers to Ukraine, providing urgent supplies to refugees from Ukraine, and offering passenger transport, cargo logistics, over 200 overnight accommodations, and employment opportunities for refugees.
