eSIM Travel Tips for Poland
Install your eSIM before your budget airline flight to Poland
Ryanair and Wizz Air fly to Poland from numerous UK airports. Set up your HelloRoam eSIM at home before departure. Enable mobile data when you land at Kraków, Warsaw Chopin, Gdańsk, or Wrocław Airport and you will be connected immediately.

Coverage in the Tatra Mountains and Zakopane

Keep your HelloRoam eSIM active for booking your timed entry ticket online, accessing the official audio guides, and navigating between the Auschwitz I and Auschwitz II-Birkenau sites.
Keep your UK SIM for banking verification
Use your HelloRoam eSIM for Polish data and keep your UK SIM active for incoming calls and SMS verification from your bank. Poland is a popular destination for British stag and hen groups, having reliable data for maps and group coordination is especially useful.

Cat
On a trip to Europe, my hotel Wi-Fi was so slow and outside Wi-Fi was unreliable. I couldn’t take it anymore so I got helloroam for a few days. It was tricky to set up correctly because of the primary settings (with my original number). But I reached out to their customer service via WhatsApp. Super responsive and helpful, with specific and clear steps to troubleshoot. Appreciate having 4G roaming instead of being stuck with in and out Wi-Fi during my trip!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by this reviewer
Very good experience! The eSIM was easy to set up and worked great in London. It was much cheaper than it would have been to use my own operator there.
