Mobile internet in Poland not working
I am visiting Poland and want to get mobile internet. I bought 3 SIMs (Orange, Plus, T-Mobile) - all starter kits for 5 PLN. I guess they all should work (at least the T-Mobile starter says "activate by inserting SIM into phone and making a call" in English on it). I tried in a place where network was available for all 3, however I could not register a single SIM onto network - do I miss something here?
Seems like it is necessary to activate the SIMs somehow... but I dont know how. I think all the starters include few prapaid PLNs for services - data or voice. The phone should register onto network to receive calls at least, but it does not...
I tried with Samsung J5 and Samsung S3 mini. Here are the screenshots I got (same for all 3 SIMs) - funny one message is in Polish even though the phone's language is English:

It sounds like your phone is Blocked in Poland ie reported as lost or stolen:
This has nothing to do with your provider, your phone(s) might work without any problems in other countries. If your phone(s) was/were SIM-Locked you would get a different message before loading the home screen, something like the this
I am afraid you'll need to get a mobile broadband or a new phone

Poland is a Go Roam in Europe destination which means you can use your data here at no extra cost. If you have an Add-on with a data allowance of 12GB or greater, a fair use limit applies, with use over 12GB subject to a surcharge (see below).Why is my internet not working when roaming?
On most Android devices, you'll find the Airplane mode toggle in the Quick Settings. Otherwise, you can go to Settings \u2192 Network & Internet \u2192 Airplane mode to do the trick.
