By Odin's (beard), do you know what's important today? To choose an operator where you'll feel like a fish in water! A Viking needs a network that provides comfort like calm waters, and is as fast as an arrow. That's why it's worth knowing what's behind Mobile Vikings. Here, technology hums like a ship under full sail, and you can sail through life without worrying about coverage or internet speed. Find out what keeps our deck in such good shape!
Key information from the article
- Mobile Vikings operates as an MVNO and uses the infrastructure network of the operator Play (P4).
- We provide access to LTE, 5G (where Play is available), and full call and SMS infrastructure.
- Customer data and security are under special protection with us. Play does not know who owns the Viking numbers.
- We focus on what's most valuable to every Viking: large data packages, a stable network, and simple service management in the app.
What is an MVNO and why does Mobile Vikings operate in this model?
In the world of telecommunications, we have two heroes:
| Operator type | Full name | What it does? |
|---|---|---|
| MNO | Mobile Network Operator | Builds and maintains infrastructure (transmitters, frequencies, network). |
| MVNO | Mobile Virtual Network Operator | Provides telecommunication services but uses another operator's infrastructure. |
Mobile Vikings is an MVNO. We don't build our own masts, we don't lay fiber optics across mountains and seas. Instead, we use the infrastructure of the Play network, which has been investing in coverage and modern technologies for years.
And you know what? It works. Mobile operators on this network, including Play itself, are growing stronger because people choose what actually delivers: a fast, stable, and modern network that doesn't lose its course, even when things get turbulent.
Thanks to this, we can focus on what matters most to us (and to you), which is a transparent offer, without small print, and customer service based on human principles. Play gives us a powerful ship, and we make sure that the journey on it is the best possible.
How does it work in practice? Network, frequencies, and technologies
Thanks to our cooperation with Play, we provide:
| Network technology | What it gives our Vikings? | Availability for Vikings |
|---|---|---|
| 2G | Voice calls | Yes |
| 4G/LTE | Fast internet, streaming, games | Yes |
| 5G | Even faster transfers | Yes* |
*Coverage and capabilities are the same as in Play's current infrastructure.
In addition, there's:
- VoLTE – calls over LTE, without switching to older technologies,
- VoWiFi (Wi-Fi Calling) – calls without GSM coverage.
Alright, what about coverage? No room for storms here either
Play has been expanding its network for years and isn't slowing down. Thanks to thousands of base stations, you can count on a stable signal and wide coverage – even where waves rarely reach without obstacles. And if you want to check the situation in your port, you can always ask our crew for an up-to-date coverage map and set your course consciously.
Why does the MVNO model work to the Vikings' advantage?
Because a smaller scale is not a limitation – it's a strength that allows us to move first instead of standing still. Our mission is not to guard transmitters, but to make every Viking and every ViQueen feel that they are at the helm.
With us, everything works as it should – quickly, clearly, and humanely. Number activation, plan change, contact with support – even that meeting that could have been an email won't end as quickly as things are handled with us.
This model gives us something else – freedom. We don't have to wait for permission from corporate gods to implement something. That's why we can introduce solutions that others are just putting on their 'to consider' list.
And the results? Like Thor's lightning – fast and concrete. Although we operate on a prepaid system, Vikings stay with us for years. Not out of obligation, but because they want to. Because here, everyone feels they belong to the crew.
Thanks to the MVNO model, we can invest where it truly makes sense – in people, the development of digital products, and process automation.
Odin looks down and nods his beard, saying: 'This is how it's done in the 21st century.'
What about security?
This is an important topic. Customers' personal data remains a secret of Mobile Vikings.
Play does not know:
- who owns a specific number;
- what the user's billing data is.
Limitations? Yes – and we talk about them directly
As an MVNO:
- new telco solutions (e.g., full 5G, multi-device eSIM, VoLTE support for less popular devices) appear with us after their implementation by Play,
- we don't build our own transmitters, so we won't appear faster where infrastructure is just being built.
Instead, we can invest time and resources in what's most important to us:
- the relationship with the user,
- transparency of the offer,
- a community that truly supports each other (if you sail under our flag, you probably know very well how helpful our crew is!).
Technology that speeds with you
At Mobile Vikings, it's not just about masts, cables, and frequencies, but also how we use them. Our advantage isn't concrete towers, but digital agility. We operate fully online – from number registration, through eSIM activation, to payments and service management. A few clicks and it's done. No paperwork, no helplines, no eternal 'please wait to be connected to a consultant'.
Behind the scenes, our own system operates, fast as Thor's lightning. It integrates with Play's infrastructure, but we hold the helm. This allows us to introduce new features when they make sense, not when someone at headquarters gives the green light.
That's our secret – technology that reacts instead of delaying and evolves with you. At Mobile Vikings, we don't ask when the future will arrive. We've had it in our contacts for a long time.
Mobile Vikings – not just technology, but also a crew
And speaking of the crew – every sea wolf knows that the best ship means nothing without a team standing shoulder to shoulder at the helm. At Mobile Vikings, we don't make anyone wait in a dark tavern and we don't hide behind Nordic runes of regulations. We respond quickly, concretely, and humanely. Because #EverythingForOurOwn.
Our Crew is at the helm at: +48 732 007 007. A human will answer. One who has survived many a storm and will help you set the right course!
But Mobile Vikings is not just a flesh-and-blood crew – it's also a community that grows thanks to technology. For years, we've been developing solutions that combine digital precision with a human approach.
We also have the program Lifeboats, where you can donate unused gigabytes to charity, and the Viking Store, where you can exchange excess data for branded gadgets, accessories, and other goods with a Viking character.
In addition, there's our referral program, which, thanks to automation, works like a well-oiled machine. Refer the service to five friends, and your subscription can cost exactly… zero zlotys. This is a simple example of how smartly designed technology can truly work to your advantage.
That's why Mobile Vikings doesn't compete with other operators on prices or slogans. We play differently – we focus on digital maturity, community, and technology that gets the job done, not just makes noise. With us, everything works quietly and efficiently. You benefit, and we make sure you always have wind in your sails.
