Poland: Buy the Best SIM Cards | 2024 Guide

Poland – known for its castles, churches & cozy towns.

The country also has a rich history and has seen a significant increase in quality of life in the past decade.

But it is still a relatively cheap travel destination in Europe, which is why it is popular for all types of travelers.

You can, of course, visit the many castles and churches in the country.

Or you could visit the Wieliczka Salt Mine.

Perhaps the many museums, including the well-known Auschwitz.

But if you can, visit Morskie Oko – a fantastic mountain lake with incredible views.

As you can see, there is no reason to be bored in Poland.

But before you post your amazing Poland experiences online, be aware that international roaming can be expensive.

Unless you have an EU/EEA SIM card – then you can most likely roam for free in Poland.

If you use a local SIM card, like a Polish one, you can enjoy local rates and avoid expensive international roaming fees.

So, how much do Polish SIM cards cost?

You can get a Polish SIM card for as low as 3 PLN (0.70 USD) all the way up to 25 PLN (6 USD). However, the average price is 5 PLN (1.20 USD). SIM cards are available at Orange, Play, Plus & T-Mobile stores (also for the sub-brands), or other places, like kiosks/newsstands or Warsaw Chopin Airport.

I know that Play and Heyah always has special features of Ukrainians, but this may have been extended to other mobile operators too.

Слава Україні! 🇺🇦

Those are just the SIM card prices – Poland has the second-lowest mobile data rates in Eastern Europe!

That way, you can spend your money on Poland experiences instead of expensive bills ;)

In this guide, I will go over everything you need to know about buying a SIM card in Poland. Let’s do this.

What is the Best SIM Card in Poland?

If you want to buy the best SIM card in Poland, I recommend going with Orange, Orange Flex, or Nju Mobile. Orange is the best mobile operator. Orange Flex is a hybrid plan with attractive plans. Nju Mobile is an Orange sub-brand targeting the youth (but anyone can get its SIM card) with low prices.

So, who are all these mobile operators and what options are available for you?

Poland has four mobile operators and 11 Mobile Virtual Network Operators (MVNOs) offering prepaid services easily accessible to tourists:

• Orange Poland (Orange Polska)
• Play Poland
• Plus Poland
• T-Mobile Poland (T-Mobile Polska)
• a2mobile (Plus Poland MVNO)
• Fakt Mobile (Play Mobile MVNO)
• Heyah (T-Mobile Poland sub-brand)
• Klucz Mobile (Plus Poland MVNO)
• Lycamobile Poland (Plus Poland MVNO)
• Nju Mobile (Orange Poland sub-brand)
• Orange Flex (Orange Poland sub-brand)
• Plush (Plus Poland sub-brand)
• Red Bull Mobile Poland (Play Poland sub-brand)
• TuBiedronka (T-Mobile Poland sub-brand)
• Virgin Mobile Poland (Play Poland MVNO)

In this guide, I will stick to the mobile operators and the most popular MVNOs, all in bold above, to limit the length of this guide (but also not to overwhelm you with all the options available).

But if you are interested in getting a SIM card from one of the unbolded MVNOs, you would have to do the research yourself for the time being. I stopped actively testing and reviewing MVNOs to spend time reviewing travel eSIMs instead, like the ones for Poland.

Anyone 13 or older living in or visiting Poland can buy a Polish SIM card without restrictions, but you do have to comply with the Polish SIM card registration regulations.

Which, in this case, is only showing your passport at the point of sale.

Where Can You Buy an Polish SIM Card (+Costs)?

You can get a Polish SIM card in Orange, Play, Plus & T-Mobile stores (even for sub-brands and some MVNOs) or other retailers, including grocery stores, electronic stores & convenience stores (also for the MVNOs). Some Polish airports sell (tourist) SIM cards (at inflated prices).

You can expect to pay the following for Polish SIM cards:

• Orange Poland (Orange Polska): 5 PLN
• Play Poland: 5 PLN – 25 PLN
• Plus Poland: 5 PLN & 15 PLN
• T-Mobile Poland (T-Mobile Polska): 5 PLN
• Heyah: 5 PLN
• Lycamobile Poland: 5 PLN
• Nju Mobile: 4 PLN
• Orange Flex: (truly) free in Orange stores, 3 PLN from resellers
• Plush: 5 PLN
• Virgin Mobile Poland: 5 PLN

Note that SIM cards can be more expensive than those listed above when purchased at an airport.

Use the Wise Currency Converter tool (free) for up-to-date PLN (Poland Złoty) to your currency (let's say GBP – (British) Pound (Sterling)) exchange rates.

For your convenience, below are some exchange rates between PLN and USD (US Dollars):

• 1 PLN = 0.25 USD
• 10 PLN = 2.40 USD
• 100 PLN = 23.95 USD
• 1000 PLN = 239.55 USD

But for any other currency, the Wise Currency Converter tool.

(Travel) eSIMs for Poland

In recent years, (travel) eSIMs have become extremely popular.

Especially after Apple made iPhones (14- & 15 series) sold in the United States eSIM-only, forcing its users to use eSIMs – even when abroad.

As a result, the adoption of eSIM technology by mobile operators worldwide rose impressively quickly.

Currently, Orange (Flex) Poland and Plus Poland offer eSIMs to prepaid customers.

But if you purchase an eSIM from any of these mobile operators, you must comply with Poland's SIM card registration regulations.

Suppose you do not wish to do so for privacy reasons (for example) or want to be connected immediately without paying for an overpriced SIM card (or eSIM) sold at an Polish airport. In that case, you may consider getting a travel eSIM for Poland.

In my Poland eSIM buying guide, I analyze various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide (even in Poland).

Surprisingly, travel eSIMs can be cheaper than a Polish SIM card or eSIM in specific scenarios.

Moreover, Europe-wide and global eSIM options are also available at competitive prices (without having to deal with expensive international roaming rates).

In this Poland SIM card buying guide (the one you are reading), I will stick to the local SIM cards and eSIM, but you can read my Poland eSIM buying guide for more information about travel eSIMs covering the country.

But here is a quick overview already + applicable discount codes if you are interested in purchasing a travel eSIM for Poland:

• Airalo: Lekko (Poland only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS)
• Alosim: Poland
• Holafly: Poland & Europe (32 countries) – all variants in both options include unlimited data + up to 120 Europe-wide calls
• Nomad: Poland, Europe (30 or 35 countries, depending on the variant) & Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant)

Here are some discount codes to sweeten the deal:

• Airalo: DEC15 for 15% off (if you have never bought an Airalo eSIM before). Otherwise, DEC10 for 10% off (for existing users) – only the first 3000 users can redeem either discount code)
• Alosim: PTW for 5% off (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want)
• Holafly: PHONETRAVELWIZ for 5% off (as many times as you wish for as many eSIMs as you want)
• Nomad: ADU123 for 3 USD off (on your first-ever Nomad order only)

Once again, check out my Poland eSIM buying guide to learn more about these eSIM options.

The eSIM guide is as comprehensive as this SIM card buying guide, but it solely focuses on travel eSIMs (while the guide you are reading focuses on local SIM cards and eSIMs for prepaid users (where applicable).

Plus Poland, just Plus, is the third-largest mobile operator in Poland.

It is owned by Polkomtel. However, some use Plus and Polkomtel interchangably.

• 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
• 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
• 4G/LTE: 900 MHz (Band 8), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)

You can buy a Plus SIM card for 5 PLN with 6 GB for 15 days (regular SIM car) or 15 PLN with 30 GB for 15 days (data-only SIM card) in Plus stores and various other stores, including grocery stores, kiosks & gas stations throughout Poland.

Dial 105*20# to change the system's language to English.

SIM card registration can be done at Plus stores (preferred), post offices (recommended), or kiosks and newsstands by Inmedio, One Minute, Relay & Ruch.

It is also possible to get a Plus eSIM for free (for the first five transfers).

You should consider getting a travel eSIM for Poland because they can sometimes be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Plus.

Especially if you get a Europe-wide eSIM or a global eSIM.

I discuss various eSIM options of eSIM providers for Poland in my Poland eSIM buying guide, which are:

• Airalo: Lekko (Poland only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + minutes and SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)

As I said, check out my Poland eSIM buying guide for more information, as I have to continue with Plus for now.

T-Mobile Poland (T-Mobile Polska)

T-Mobile Poland, just T-Mobile but officially T-Mobile Polska, is the smallest mobile operator in Poland.

It used to be the second-largest in the country, but its subscriber number has fallen due to stiff competition.

However, the mobile operator is going all-in on 5G NR, hoping to gain a larger market share.

T-Mobile uses the following frequencies:

• 2G: 900 MHz & 1800 MHz
• 3G: 900 MHz & 2100 MHz
• 4G/LTE: 800 MHz (Band 20), 1800 MHz (Band 3), 2100 MHz (Band 1) & 2600 MHz (Band 7)
• 5G NR: 2100 MHz (n1)

This is what you will learn about T-Mobile:

* Coverage
* How to Get a T-Mobile SIM Card & SIM Card Price
* Topping Up Options & Methods + Balance Check
* Plans & Packages
* APN/Internet Settings

Coverage – T-Mobile Poland (T-Mobile Polska)

T-Mobile has the most extensive 5G NR coverage.

Its 4G/LTE coverage is also extensive.

Below is T-Mobile Poland's coverage map produced by Speedtest:

However, click here to see T-Mobile Poland's official coverage map.

T-Mobile prepaid customers have access to T-Mobile's 5G NR network (specific plans only).

SIM Card Price – T-Mobile Poland (T-Mobile Polska)

You can buy a T-Mobile SIM card for 5 PLN with 400 GB for 30 days in T-Mobile stores and various other stores, including grocery stores, kiosks & gas stations throughout Poland.

SIM card registration can be done at T-Mobile stores (preferred), post offices (recommended), or kiosks and newsstands by Inmedio, One Minute, Relay & Ruch.

T-Mobile has no eSIMs.

You can consider getting a travel eSIM for Poland, which can, in specific scenarios, be cheaper than getting a SIM card from T-Mobile.

Especially if you get a Europe-wide eSIM (for when you visit at least two or more supported European countries) or a global eSIM (for frequent travelers visiting multiple continents).

In my Poland eSIM buying guide, I analyze various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.

But I will introduce them here quickly:

• Airalo: Lekko (Poland only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS) – use code DEC15 (15% off – first-time users only) or DEC10 (10% off)
• Alosim: Poland – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
• Holafly: Poland & Europe (32 countries) – all variants in both options include unlimited data + up to 120 Europe-wide calls – use code PHONETRAVELWIZ (5% off – no limits)
• Nomad: Poland, Europe (30 or 35 countries, depending on the variant) & Global (109 or 139 countries, depending on the variant) – use code ADU123 (3 USD off – first-time users only)

Once again, check out my Poland eSIM buying guide to learn more about these eSIM options.

For now, I will continue with T-Mobile.

Note that Telia offers VoLTE (Voice over LTE (4G)) if your phone supports it and you have enabled it in the settings.

Oh, you can also use VoWiFi (Voice over WiFi).
