How does Simbye eSIM work for Poland?
Set it up before you fly
After the purchase you get an email with an installation link and a QR code. Install the eSIM at home on WiFi, it takes two minutes. The validity does not start yet — it begins with your first connection in Poland.
Arrive in Poland
Whether you land at Warsaw Chopin, Warsaw Modlin, Kraków Balice, Gdańsk, Katowice Pyrzowice, Wrocław, Poznań, Rzeszów Jasionka or Lublin: turn off flight mode, switch on data roaming for the Simbye line and select it as your data line. The phone then connects to Plus on its own.
Keep an eye on your data
You can check your usage any time in the Simbye app. When the data runs low you top up right there: same eSIM, no new QR code, no new setup.
Check Device Compatibility
Make sure your device supports eSIM before purchasing
Which networks will you be on in Poland?

Once you have landed in Poland and the Simbye line is active with data roaming switched on, your phone finds the Plus network by itself — usually while you are still in the arrivals hall at Warsaw Chopin, Warsaw Modlin, Kraków-Balice, Gdańsk or Katowice Pyrzowice. You do not have to type in any settings by hand. If nothing happens after a few minutes, turn flight mode on and off again. If that does not help, open your network settings, switch off automatic network search and pick Plus manually. One thing to watch with two lines in the phone: set the Simbye line as your data line, otherwise your home SIM keeps doing the work.
Plus covers Poland nationwide with LTE. You have solid reception in Warsaw, Kraków, the Tricity of Gdańsk–Sopot–Gdynia, Wrocław, Poznań, Łódź, Katowice and across the Upper Silesian conurbation, as well as in Szczecin, Lublin, Bydgoszcz and Toruń. The same goes for the Baltic coast around Kołobrzeg, Ustka and Świnoujście, the Hel peninsula, Masuria around Giżycko and Mikołajki, Zakopane at the foot of the Tatras and the Karkonosze mountains around Karpacz. It thins out where almost nobody lives: in the Bieszczady in the south-east, on the high trails in the Tatras, in the Białowieża forest and out on the Masurian lakes the signal can disappear for long stretches. That applies to every Polish network there, not just ours — download maps and tickets in advance if you are heading that way.
eSIM or a local SIM card in Poland?
Poland tilts towards the eSIM: local prepaid cards only work once you have shown a passport at the counter, and the packages, menus and top-ups run in Polish, whereas the eSIM is set up before departure in your own language.
| Feature |  Simbye eSIM |
Local SIM card |
|---|---|---|
| ID and registration | No registration at all, you buy online and you are done | Required by law: no passport or ID at the counter, no working card |
| When you are online | Set up before departure, connected the moment you land in Warsaw or Kraków | Only after baggage reclaim and a queue at a kiosk or operator shop |
| Plan and validity | From 1 GB up to unlimited, running from one week to 30 days | You pick a package on the spot, and the terms are usually in Polish only |
| Polish phone number | No, data only, no number, no calls and no SMS | Yes, you get a Polish number with credit on it |
| Language | Order, email and support in your own language | Advice in the shop is often only available in Polish |
| Paying | With your own card in your own currency, before you travel | In złoty on the spot, smaller kiosks sometimes take only cash or BLIK |
| Your own number | Stays active in the phone, WhatsApp and bank codes keep working | Only with dual SIM, in a single-SIM phone your card comes out |
| Topping up | Any time in the app, no new eSIM and no new QR code | Credit at a machine or kiosk, menus usually in Polish |
For most travelers the eSIM is the simpler choice: set up before departure, no queuing on arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions about Poland eSIM
Data, calls, real phone numbers, top-ups and setup — everything you need to know before you buy a Simbye eSIM.
No, no need to register this eSIM with ID. The registration rule applies to prepaid SIMs sold in Poland — it has been law since the 2016 anti-terrorism act and it is enforced strictly. This eSIM is not a Polish prepaid card, it is a foreign line connecting to the Plus network. You do not have to register anywhere or show anything.
The Poland eSIM uses the Plus network. It covers Poland nationwide with LTE, from the Baltic coast down to the Tatras. The plan is for Poland only; for a multi-country trip take an eSIM that covers several countries, or one per country.
How many gigabytes you get and how long it is valid changes by package: 1 to 20 GB, plus unlimited, valid 7 to 30 days. Which size fits depends on how you travel: maps, messengers and tickets use very little, video and music on the move use a lot.
No, you can't make calls or receive SMS. This is data only, with no phone number, so calls and SMS over the network are not possible. You can of course keep calling through WhatsApp, Signal, Messenger or FaceTime, as long as those accounts are already set up.
You get your banking and WhatsApp codes by keeping your normal SIM in the phone for SMS and calls, while the eSIM handles the data. Any account that insists on an SMS code is best set up before you leave.
You get an eSIM for Poland online and you're done in minutes. Choose a plan from the price table above on this page, pay, and the QR code arrives by email. Scan it with your camera and the Poland profile installs. Set it up before you fly to Warsaw or Kraków, then switch it on after landing.
Yes, eSIM is available in Poland. An eSIM for Poland is a digital SIM card built into your phone. Polish mobile networks carry eSIM traffic, so a travel eSIM works in Warsaw, Kraków, Gdańsk and the countryside in between. There is no shop visit, no counter to queue at and no plastic card. Your phone just needs an eSIM slot — iPhone XS and newer, most recent Samsung, Pixel and Xiaomi models.
A Poland eSIM starts at 1,95€; the exact price depends on the data volume and the days you pick, and the table above shows every plan with its current price. A city break needs only a small bundle, a longer trip more gigabytes. You pay once, up front, with no contract, no deposit and no monthly bill afterwards.
Data needs for Poland vary by trip: a city weekend in Krakow or Warsaw runs on 1 to 3 GB, with maps, trams, messengers and tickets at about 50 to 100 MB a day. Add photo uploads and it climbs to 200 to 300 MB. Long train rides, video calls or a laptop on the hotspot are what empty a plan. For two weeks including Masuria or the coast, take a bigger pack from this page.
The eSIM that's best for Poland depends on what you need, not on the label. In Poland this eSIM sits on Plus, which carries LTE across the whole country, so coverage is rarely the deciding factor. Data volume, days and whether you need a Polish number are. This one is prepaid data only with hotspot allowed. For calls from a Polish number, or for months of use, look elsewhere.
