Key information from the article
- A prepaid card (i.e., pre-paid) is a way to have the helm in your own hands. You top up your account, use services, and when funds run out – you decide when to move on.
- Unlike a subscription, you don't sign a contract and have full control over costs.
- You can top up your account online, in the app, with a code, or choose Auto-Renewal.
- This solution is for those of you who value freedom and prefer to sail their own course.
Prepaid card – what does it mean and how does it work?
The word prepaid means "paid in advance." It's a model where you decide when and for how much you use services. You don't sign a contract, you don't pay a subscription, and all calls, SMS messages, and gigabytes are settled from the available balance.
How it works step by step:
- You buy a SIM card and activate the number.
- You top up your account with a chosen amount (e.g., PLN 25, PLN 35, PLN 50).
- You use services until the funds run out.
- You can top up your account again – manually or automatically.
That's the whole philosophy. No catches, asterisks, or long-term commitments.
How does a prepaid card differ from a subscription?
| Feature | Prepaid card (pay-as-you-go phone) | Subscription |
|---|---|---|
| Payment | In advance, before using services | After a month, for services rendered |
| Contract | None | Long-term contract (usually 12–24 months) |
| Cost control | Full – you spend as much as you want | Limited – fixed bill every month |
| Flexibility | You can cancel at any time | Requires contract termination |
Why choose a pay-as-you-go phone?
- A pay-as-you-go phone offers freedom that is hard to find in subscriptions. You don't sign any contracts, you don't commit for years, you don't explain your decisions. You simply use it as long as you have funds, and then you decide when to top up your account and sail on.
- Everything is as clear and predictable as calm waters. Topping up takes a moment. You can do it online, in the app, or automatically if you prefer peace of mind. Funds appear in your account immediately.
- No need to wait or keep track of deadlines. The system itself reminds you when the top-up validity is about to expire.
- A prepaid card also brings peace of mind because you can't exceed your limit. When funds run out, you simply top up your account and sail on. And coverage? The same as with a subscription. 4G and 5G networks are storming ahead, giving you stability and readiness to act wherever you sail.
- With Mobile Vikings, it's not just a way to use your phone. It's a lifestyle choice. Free, transparent, your own.

Prepaid in practice – who uses it most often?
- A pay-as-you-go phone is the choice of people who like solutions as simple as an oar. They know where their funds are going and don't need unnecessary formalities. With prepaid, you can't spend more than you have in your account – no surprises, no storms in your wallet.
- It's a great solution for parents who want to teach young Vikings and ViQueens responsibility. You set a budget in advance – for example, PLN 30 per month – and the rest is up to them. This way, your Crew learns planning, and you have peace of mind that the bill won't jump out like a bolt from the blue.
- Prepaid also works well when you need a second number – for work, shopping, or reservations.
- Prepaid is also appreciated by those who often change ports – travelers, freelancers, people on the move. If you don't want to pay for something you're not currently using, you simply don't top up your account. And when you set sail, it only takes a few seconds and you're online again.
That's the freedom Vikings love.
