Mobile services in Poland
In Poland, you can get a mobile phone number in two ways: through a contract (post-paid) or without contract (pre-paid).
If you’re not looking to commit to a long-term contract with a mobile service provider and you mainly want a phone for staying connected, pre-paid is a great option.
Get the essentials: The first thing you need to do is get a mobile phone and buy a starter package with a SIM card. You can get these starter packs not only from the provider’s offices but also from various shops or newsstands.
Registration:The next thing you need to do is register your mobile phone number. You’ll need to show an ID such as your passport or temporary residence card. This links your phone number to you and sets up your account. You can register at the mobile service provider’s office, post office or other approved locations.
Activation: Finally, activate the SIM card. This is usually done automatically, but you might need to do it manually.
This simple process lets you enjoy the convenience of a mobile phone while keeping your options open and in control of your mobile sieves without a long-term commitment.
You should also be aware of other possible charges relating to your tariff. For example, you should check with your provider if they charge you for calls to your voicemail and to customer services numbers.
