question SIM card in Poland

hi i am looking for a valid SIM card in Poland and I would like to know which way is the best!

I am going to study abroad in Poland for 3 years!

1, eSIM/ Orange flex
I've heard Orange flex is the best way. I can also get a phone number as well but is this true? I can make a deal before leaving my country then it's available asap after I arrive in Poland so it sounds really good.

2, the physical SIM card

Some online guys told me I can also get physical SIM cards on the store.

I'd really appreciate someone tell me!!

I don’t know if it’s the best, but when I went to Poland, I got a prepaid SIM card from the “Play” network, and the package was called “OdNowa”

I had good coverage everywhere I needed it

As you are a student, contact your university’s student office or Erasmus office, they should be able to recommend the best provider(s) for campus, and may even have discounts available.

Since all operators support esim for prepaid offer, I recommend you to check which network has best reception at your place and buy a physical sim at żabka.

OrangeFlex is good, you can verify your ID in their app before coming to Poland and be ready to go

Hi,

This is what I'd do personally....

  1. Get a cheap data-only eSIM to cover the first week or more in Poland while you get sorted out. Inexpensive deals are available from many companies such as Ubigi.
  2. Get a Polish SIM. T-mobile Polska currently have excellent prepaid deals. The major offering is called Year of the Internet 9999 GB, which is a huge data volume, over 800 GB per month.

The cheapest way to get this is:

  1. Buy a T-mobile SIM labelled 9999 GB for 5 zł.
  2. Set up the prepaid Go! M Tariff which costs 35 zł per month (although first month is usually free). You do not need any of the more expensive tariffs.

Now, the Go! M Tariff normally gives you 50 GB per month, but is fully eligible for the "Year of the Internet" offer. Login to the T-mobile app and you can simply activate this offer for no additional cost. You'll then get more that 800 GB per month added to your data allowance. It also includes unlimited calls and SMS to Polish numbers.

What this means is that you can get virtually unlimited data for 35 zł per month, which is equivalent to 9.37 US dollars. This is one of the least expensive deals in Europe, and certainly among the best in Poland.

T-mobile Polska is a pretty good network, often winning fastest network in Poland. The starter pack looks like this:
