It targets the youth. However, anyone, including the elderly ( 😉 ) can get a Virgin Mobile SIM card.

Coverage – Virgin Mobile Poland
Virgin Mobile is a Plus and Orange MVNO, meaning Virgin 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 Virgin Mobile, jump to the Plus and Orange Coverage section in my Poland SIM card buying guide.
Virgin Mobile customers do not have access to Plus and Orange’s 5G NR network.
SIM Card Price – Virgin Mobile Poland
You can buy a Virgin Mobile SIM card for 5 PLN with 5 PLN credit in various stores, such as grocery stores, convenience stores & kiosks.
Most stores that sell Virgin Mobile SIM cards can also register your SIM card. Otherwise, you can visit be post offices (recommended) or kiosks and newsstands by Inmedio, One Minute, Relay & Ruch.
Dial *121# to see your Virgin Mobile phone number.

Virgin 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 Virgin 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 Virgin 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).
