Network

Play is the fourth cellular network in Poland. PLAY uses EGSM 900 for its 2G services and UMTS 2100 for 3G. Its MCC is 260-06. Thanks to domestic roaming with Polkomtel, Play is a nation-wide cellular carrier.

Native Network

As of 8.01.2010, PLAY Mobile has 2311 EGSM 900 BTS and 3494 UMTS nodeB's. Currently 60% of population is covered with Play's native 3G network and 40% of population with 2G network. UMTS is available in about 300 cities and towns around Poland. Play started building its 3G network at the beginning of its existence (2007) and announced that its goal is to cover all of Poland with UMTS while provide GSM services through roaming. However, PLAY started building its GSM network in March 2009 in apparent bid to reduce roaming costs.

Roaming

On 09.06.2006 PLAY signed a domestic roaming agreement with Plus operator - Polkomtel. It allows Play subscribers to access Plus' GSM network as well as UMTS network. Roaming is nationwide, free and unlimited. In addition, Play subscribers can manually pick Plus GSM network despite presence of Play's native network. However, Plus' domestic network cannot be used with Play's Mobile Broadband products.

Play also has agreements with most of the operators worldwide to provide international roaming around the globe for its postpaid and prepaid customers.
