Choose your plan
Two ways to go: pick a data plan for a set number of gigabytes, or an unlimited plan sized to your trip length so you never think about data.
Data plans
Choose your gigabytes. Best value if you know roughly what you use.
Unlimited plans
Never watch your data. Just pick how long your trip is.
Prices are in USD and payable in crypto. No contract and no auto-renewal, and any balance you do not use stays on your account for next time.
Turning on roaming can cost $10 or more a day. A whole Poland trip starts at $1.79.
See the plansWhy an eSIM for Poland
Poland is a tale of two capitals of character: Krakow, whose medieval old town and Wawel castle came through the war intact, and Warsaw, a city so thoroughly rebuilt from rubble that its old town is a UNESCO monument to reconstruction. Between them lie the Tatra mountains, the Baltic coast, and Gdansk. An eSIM keeps you online for maps, trams, and translation the moment you land.
Poland has modernised fast, with quick, cheap, near-total mobile coverage. You buy the data before you fly, pay from your crypto balance with no ID, and keep your home number on its own SIM for calls and bank codes.
- Fast 4G and 5G across Warsaw, Krakow, and the whole country.
- Online on arrival at Warsaw or Krakow.
- One plan for the cities, the mountains, and the Baltic coast.
- Pay in crypto with no ID, and keep your home number.
Is a Poland eSIM right for you?
Whoever you are travelling as, the setup is the same: buy, scan, connect. Here is what it means for you.
Poland eSIM vs a local SIM vs roaming
Coverage is fast and cheap on every option across the country. The real differences are for non-EU visitors, and for how privately you can pay. Here is how they compare.

EU and EEA visitors roam free on their home plans in Poland, so this is aimed at non-EU travellers and at anyone who prefers to pay privately in crypto. Costs are rough guides, not quotes.
Coverage and networks in Poland
Depending on the plan, your eSIM connects to a major Polish network such as Orange, Play, or Plus. Coverage is fast and near-total across Warsaw, Krakow, and the cities, in the historic towns, and along the roads and rail between them, with strong 5G, thinning only in the high Tatras and the deep countryside.
Expect strong eSIM coverage in Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk, with data across the rest of Poland. Signal follows the local network, so it is strongest in cities and along main routes.
Coverage by area
Fast, near-total coverage across the big cities and the historic towns, with strong 5G. This is where almost all your data goes.
Reliable across Gdansk, the Tri-City, and the northern lakes, with only the odd rural dip.
Signal thins near the high peaks and remote trails on any network. Download offline maps before you head up from Zakopane.
How much data do you need in Poland?
Whether your Poland trip is 7 days, 2 weeks, or a month, pick the data size to match. Not sure? Slide your trip length below and we will suggest a plan.
A Poland trip leans on maps, tram and train tickets, translation from Polish, restaurant reviews, and photos to the cloud. For a one to two week trip, 5 to 10 GB suits most people. The Unlimited tiers, from 3 to 30 days, suit heavier use or hotspotting, and you can top up any time.
Estimate your data for Poland
Social, photos, some video
An estimate to guide you, not a limit. Wi-Fi at your hotel covers a lot, and you can top up any time, so it is fine to start smaller.
Typical usage per hour
Using an eSIM in Poland's top cities
One Poland eSIM covers all of these. Here is what to expect, city by city.
eSIM in Warsaw
Fast 4G and 5G across the capital, from the rebuilt Old Town and Castle Square to the modern skyline and the airport. Your eSIM keeps maps, transit tickets, and translation live as you cross between the historic core and the glass towers.
eSIM in Krakow
Reliable coverage across the medieval Main Market Square, St Mary's Basilica, Wawel, and the Kazimierz district. Handy for tours, restaurant bookings, and finding your way through the old town's lanes.
eSIM in Gdansk
Good signal across the Baltic port city, the colourful Long Market, and the Motlawa riverfront. Useful for ferry times, amber-market wandering, and day trips along the coast.
Yes, you can call and text in Poland
Your eSIM is internet. So every calling and messaging app works, just like at home. No new apps to learn, nothing to set up.
Message anyone
WhatsApp, iMessage, Messenger all run over your data.
Call home for free
Voice and video on WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Messenger, no call charges.

Good to know
- •Coverage is fast, cheap, and near-total across the cities and most of the country, so you will rarely be offline anywhere you actually go.
- •EU and EEA visitors already roam free on their home plans here. This eSIM is for everyone else, and for anyone who would rather pay privately in crypto.
- •Polish is a hard language for visitors, so keeping a translation app and offline maps live earns its keep outside the tourist centres.
- •The eSIM carries data. Keep your home SIM active for calls and bank codes.

Why travellers choose SimVala
“Post-Brexit roaming stings, so this was ideal for a Krakow trip. Online at the airport, flawless across the old town and on the day trip out. Paid in crypto, no ID.”
“Two weeks across Warsaw, Krakow, and Gdansk. Fast everywhere, held up on the trains between cities, and cheap. Kept my US number for the bank codes.”
“Great in the cities. Up in Zakopane and on the Tatra trails it thinned near the peaks, as expected, so I had offline maps. Everywhere else it was quick.”

eSIM in Poland: FAQ
Does my phone support eSIM?+
Most phones from the last few years do, including recent iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, and Google Pixel models.
How do I pay?+
In crypto only: Bitcoin, Monero, USDT, USDC, Solana, and more.
When does my plan start?+
Your plan validity begins when you install and activate the eSIM, not when you buy it.
Will an eSIM work in Poland?+
Yes, as long as your phone supports eSIM and is carrier unlocked. The eSIM connects to a local network in Poland and gives you data the moment you arrive.
How much data do I need in Poland?+
It depends on what you do. Maps and messaging use very little, while video and hotspotting use much more. For a typical one to two week trip, 3 to 5 GB suits most travelers, and you can top up any time.
Can I keep my phone number in Poland?+
Yes. Your home number stays on your physical SIM for calls and codes, while the eSIM carries local data. Both work at once on a dual-SIM phone.
Can I buy my eSIM before I travel?+
Yes, and you should. Buy and install it before you fly, then switch the line on when you land in Poland. Your plan's days only start counting when you activate it, not when you buy.
Does the plan expire?+
Each plan runs for a set number of days once you activate it, shown on the plan. Any balance you have not spent stays on your account for your next trip, so nothing is wasted.
Can I use my eSIM as a personal hotspot?+
On most plans, yes, so you can share your connection with a laptop or a friend. Tethering uses more data, so pick a larger plan if you rely on it.
Do EU visitors even need a Poland eSIM?+
If you have an EU or EEA plan, you already roam free in Poland, so you may not need one. This eSIM is aimed at visitors from outside the EU, such as the UK, the US, and further afield, and at anyone who would rather buy data privately in crypto with no ID.
Is coverage good across the country, not just Warsaw?+
Yes. Poland has fast, cheap, near-total coverage across Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk, and the smaller cities, in the historic towns, and along the roads and rail between them. It thins only in the high Tatras and the deep countryside.
Will an eSIM work hiking in the Tatra mountains?+
In Zakopane and the valleys, yes, coverage is good. But it thins near the high peaks and on remote trails, on any network. Download offline maps and a route before you set off.
Is there an unlimited data plan for Poland?+
Yes. Unlimited plans run from 3 to 30 days, handy for a longer trip or heavy use like hotspotting. Sized plans are the cheaper pick if you use less, and you can top up any time.
