Krakow - Post Report Question and Answers
Do you have any recommendations regarding mobile phones? Did you keep your home-country plan or use a local provider?
We kept Google Fi as an e-sim, use it for wifi calling back to the US and 2FA codes, and got a local sim with TMobile for a local number and cheaper data. I think we pay about $25/month for two 20GB data and phone lines. A colleague picked up pay-as-you-go SIM cards from Orange that he says are a better deal for low data-usage. As an EU country, we get free roaming up to 8GB/month, and if we go outside the EU we just flip back to Google Fi for data. - Jun 2024
We used Orange and had a lot of trouble when we traveled outside of Poland. I might chose Play if we were to return. - Nov 2016
Pay-as-you-go worked well for me. - Mar 2014
I haven't heard of anyone having any trouble with their service providers. I used a prepaid phone, and I refilled $20 within 2-3 months with a $3/month data plan. - Apr 2013
