SIM Card
You can easily buy a SIM card at most shops; signing a contract is not obligatory. It is also possible to change your operator without changing your number. If you want to have a contract, and you are not a Polish citizen, you have to get a Polish residence permit first – Karta Pobytu (Temporary Residence Card). However, it is a long process. It might take several months for you to receive your TRC, so in order to have a mobile number in Poland you should buy a prepaid SIM card at first. In most telecom stores you’ll find an English speaking assistant to help you find the best option for you.
The most popular telecom operators in Poland are:
- Orange (orange.pl)
- Plus (plus.pl)
- Play (play.pl)
- T-mobile (t-mobile.pl)
