Coverage – Fakt Mobile
Fakt Mobile is a Plus and Orange MVNO, meaning Fakt Mobile uses the Plus and Orange network and does not have its own mobile infrastructure.
To find out what to expect in terms of coverage with Fakt Mobile, jump to the Plus and Orange Coverage section in my Poland SIM card buying guide.
Fakt Mobile customers do not have access to Plus and Orange’s 5G NR network.
SIM Card Price – Fakt Mobile
You can buy a Fakt Mobile SIM card for 5 PLN with 5 PLN credit from many newsstands and kiosks throughout Poland.
SIM card registration can be done at Plus and Orange stores (preferred), post offices (recommended), or kiosks and newsstands by Inmedio, One Minute, Relay & Ruch.
Fakt Mobile has no eSIMs.
You can consider getting a travel eSIM for Portugal, which can, in specific scenarios, be cheaper than getting a SIM card from Fakt 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 Portugal eSIM buying guide, I analyze various eSIM options of eSIM providers I have tested extensively worldwide.
But I will introduce them here quickly:
- Airalo: Fofo Mobil & MEO (Portugal only), Eurolink (39 countries in Europe) & Discover+ (130 countries worldwide + up to 200 worldwide minutes & 200 worldwide SMS) – use code NEWTOAIRALO15 (15% off – first-time users only) or AIRALOESIM10 (10% off)
- Alosim: Portugal & Europe (32 countries) – use code PTW (5% off – no limits)
- Holafly: Portugal & 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: Portugal, 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 Portugal eSIM buying guide to learn more about these eSIM options.
For now, I will continue with Fakt 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).
Top-Up, Recharge & Balance Check – Fakt Mobile
Fakt Mobile top-up vouchers, using Plus and Orange’s vouchers, are sold in Plus and Orange stores and many other establishments, including grocery stores, kiosks & gas stations throughout Poland.

To top up your Fakt Mobile SIM card, dial *100*VoucherCode#, *111#, or *111*15*1#.

You can also recharge online with (international) debit and credit cards.
Dial *101# to check your Fakt Mobile balance.
You can also top up and check your balance on the Play24 app (Android/iOS) – Fakt Mobile does not have its own app.
