Poland works for city breaks and for a trip of several days across different regions, from the Baltic coast to lakes and old towns. Trains are handy between cities, and you need the internet for tickets, taxis, restaurant bookings and public transport. You install the eSIM at home in advance, and after landing in Warsaw, Krakow or Gdansk you only switch data on.
You can buy an eSIM for Poland online right on this page from 3 500 ₸: choose a data plan, pay by card and get the QR code within minutes. An eSIM is a digital SIM card — it installs on your phone with no plastic card and no visit to a phone shop.
The eSIM connects to local mobile networks, so you have data wherever they have coverage — Warsaw and the rest of the country.
Roaming in Poland with a Kazakh carrier is usually far more expensive, and roaming data runs out fast. With a Funsim eSIM you pay a fixed price for a data package and keep your home SIM in the phone for calls and bank SMS — roaming on it can stay off.
If your phone does not support eSIM, you can buy a regular physical SIM card with data for Poland at a Funsim point of sale: at Almaty and Shymkent airports, or at our offices in Almaty — 130/1 Abay St and 1 Pozharsky St. Handy if you remember about the internet right before departure.
The country is large, and a route often consists of several cities: for example Warsaw, then Gdansk, then Wroclaw and Poznan. One Poland profile works across the whole country, so you do not need to look for a phone shop in each city. Poland plans are listed above, and if you are going on across Europe, look at the regional plans.
Keep your main SIM in the phone for calls and bank SMS and send mobile data through the eSIM. Most plans have no voice calls or SMS, so messengers are the easiest way to talk to apartment hosts, guides and drivers. For short trips this is especially handy: you do not have to buy a local SIM for a few days.
| Criterion | eSIM Funsim | Roaming | Local SIM |
|---|---|---|---|
| When to set up | At home, before the flight | Usually on arrival | After landing, in a shop or kiosk |

| Cost of data | Fixed package, see plans above | Usually much more expensive | Depends on the operator's tariff |
| Your home number | Stays for calls and banking | Stays active | Usually a second SIM or a swap |
| A trip through several cities | One profile for the country | Depends on operator terms | Yes, but it takes time to buy |
In cities and along railways the connection is usually good, while forests, lakes and small resorts can have weak spots. These are the places where you will use the internet most.
The Baltic coast and the port city of Gdansk with the Motlawa waterfront, the old town and museums. Nearby are Sopot with its long wooden pier and Gdynia, with city trains running between them. You need internet for timetables, taxis, restaurant bookings and checking the weather before a walk on the beach. In summer, seaside venues can be crowded.
A university city on the Oder with a market square, bridges and many small bronze dwarfs that visitors look for on a map. The centre is good for walking, and trams reach districts further out. The city has many cafes and bars, where you often need to quickly find opening hours and a menu.
A city in the west with the Old Market Square and the famous goats on the town hall. Many people come here for fairs, conferences or on the way between Warsaw and Berlin. You need internet for transport, accommodation and train tickets. Check in advance when the goats appear on the tower so you do not miss them.
An old city of gingerbread and Copernicus's birthplace, with brick Gothic architecture. Tourists usually come for a day or two from Warsaw or Gdansk, and the centre has many museums and workshops. Internet helps you check opening hours and buy tickets in advance, and a messenger is enough to reach your host after check-in.
The Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum is in the town of Oswiecim near Krakow. A visit usually requires booking a ticket online in advance for a specific time, and it is best to keep the confirmation on your phone. There is signal in the town, but with groups and queues it is easier to save the ticket and route beforehand and behave with respect.
An old salt mine near Krakow with underground galleries and chapels. Tickets and tours are best bought in advance, and you can get there by train or bus. Underground the signal is unstable or disappears, so save the confirmation beforehand and send any message about a delay before you go down.
A region in the north-east with thousands of lakes, forests and canals. People holiday here on yachts, in kayaks and in small guesthouses. Towns such as Gizycko and Mragowo are well covered, while in forests and on remote lakes the signal is weaker. Download an offline map and save the addresses and phone numbers of your hosts.
The capital has two airports: the main Chopin airport and Modlin, where low-cost flights usually land and from which you take a bus or train to the centre. You need internet to choose a route, buy a ticket and call a taxi. If your flight arrives at night, check the transport timetable and your accommodation address in advance.
Most services in Poland work as at home, but a few apps are especially popular here.
A journey planner popular in the country for city transport. It shows buses, trams and the metro, works in many large cities and helps with tickets.
A familiar way to call a car in big cities: the price is shown before the ride and the address is entered in the app. Handy for night arrivals and trips out of town.
Another service for city rides. Useful if one app takes long to find a car or the price is higher. Install it in advance and check the registration.
The app and site of the national operator with tickets for intercity trains. It is useful to check seats and timetables in advance, especially at weekends and on holidays.
A parcel locker service that people in Poland use very often. Useful if someone is sending you a parcel or you order shopping for the time of your trip.
Works well across the country and shows public transport, opening hours and reviews. Before a trip to the lakes and forests, download an offline map.
Polish is only partly readable if you know Russian, and many words are deceptive. The camera translator helps with menus, signs and timetables.
Booking is for reservations and messages to hosts, while WhatsApp and Telegram help you agree check-in quickly. Since most plans have no voice calls, calling through a messenger is easiest.
Check that your phone supports eSIM and is not locked to a carrier. You can find this in the settings or on the manufacturer's website.
Choose a Poland plan above and pay by card on the site, no passport is needed. If you are going on across Europe, compare the regional plans.
Install the eSIM at home by QR code, the Quick install button or manually while you still have Wi-Fi. That way you will not need to look for a network at the airport.
After landing in Poland, choose the eSIM as your mobile data line and switch data roaming on for that line.
Keep your main SIM on for calls and bank SMS, but turn off mobile data on it so traffic does not go through roaming.
If the package runs out, buy extra data on the site. You can use the hotspot for a laptop on plans that allow it, check the plan page for details.
If you plan a night arrival or a connection, save your accommodation address and the transport timetable offline, and install the eSIM at home.
